Dates: The first on 2/29/2016 20:00 GMT and the second on 3/1/2016 01:00 GMT
Automatically adjusted to your local time

Where: YWS Chatroom

What's Happening:
On February 29 (March 1 for some users), YWS will be holding a movie night! There's no reason for it really, but because February 29 only happens once every four years, I wanted to do something really different (and also a little stupid).

We'll be watching two episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000, a popular 90s tv show where the main characters watched and made fun of really cheesy movies. A special page will be set-up for the event where you'll be able to watch & chat along with everyone else. Even if you show up late, the video on the page will start at the place where everyone else is. That way, we'll all be watching the exact same scene at the exact same time no matter when you're there.

The two episodes are scheduled hours apart to give as many people as possible a chance to join in. So if you can show up for one, both, or only for ten minutes, I hope to see you there!

Just Youtube :)

Specially, a youtube video will be embedded into the page, and the timestamp for that video will be kept updated to the current watch time.

Well, I think it went rather well! If anyone is interested in watching the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes we saw:

Santa Claus Conquers The Martians
Teenagers From Outer Space

If YWS is still around, we'll do this again on Feb. 29, 2020 ;)
