Washington Psychotronic Film Society's Incorrigible Dr. Schlock—a.k.a. the Society's board president Carl Cephas—has announced plans to return the venerable purveyors of the bizarro cinema back to this side of the river, reports City Desk. As we mentioned last week, the Society is celebrating its 20th anniversary tomorrow night, and nearly half of those years were spent at Dr. Dremo's, before the tap house's closing rendered WPFS homeless. The non-profit moved to the Old Arlington Grill, a more difficult venue to reach for the Metro-bound, and certainly not as conveniently located for the post-happy-hour crowd WPFS depends on. Attendance and donations dropped, but WPFS hopes to reverse that trend at its new home at The Meeting Place at 1707 L Street, NW. With Metro accessibility and the potential for a significant after-work crowd, we hope they do well there. The first movie at the new place is a timely tribute to the recently deceased Rudy Ray Moore, with a screening of Dolemite on November 18.

Let 'em know that Dolemite is back on the scene! I'm gonna let 'em know that Dolemite is my name, and fu**in' up mothafu**as is my game!
do people actually go there? i've only ever seen a few people standing outside, smoking.
Dolomite? I'm there! This opportunity screams for a DCist meetup.
I just hope they don't have to compete with the goths and their sheetcake on Saturday nights.
People go there (at least they did at Dremo's), but there doesn't seem to be a huge effort to recruit new members. My wife and I showed up and we said hi to the people we knew, but no one came up to us & welcomed us and gave us an opportunity to sign up for a list or anything.
goths and sheetcake? bethesdaist, is there some secret life of 'the meeting place' that i do not know of? what have i been missing all my life?
Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter that's good news! I went to a bunch of shows when they were at Lucky Bar and Dremo's, none at the current place. I'll definitely be a regular at the new site. YAY!

On Saturday nights there's a goth party there called Midnight, and they play old tunes and eat sheet cake. There's always sheet cake.
Demonfafa! The WPFS is not a cult. It is a free form membership. There is nothing to join. Just donate. There is no pressure. Everything is allright.
