May 21st is our book release and signing event with John Waters for the first 3 of 6 new editions of his screenplays! 7pm! Are you ready for the filth?

Here are some answers to some FAQs:
1. The line is for people getting copies of one or all three, of the screenplays. You'll receive a ticket for the number of screenplays you'd like to purchase. If you pre-ordered a pick up copy, just have your order # ready.
2. John will personalize most anything else you bring (film memorabilia, Funko Pops, etc) within reason and he may refuse to sign something at his discretion. We will have signed copies of all of his books, Blu-Rays, etc, and he will personalize those for you along with your screenplays. TO BE CLEAR, you must purchase a screenplay in order to get anything signed/personalized.
3. You will be able to have your photo taken with John, with the setup similar to our previous events.
4. More copies of signed books will be available after the signing in store and on our site.
5. The line starts whenever the first person shows up and starts the line. We don't control that. You do.
