Kitty, google Black Light Theatre Prague and see if they're coming to a venue that's within your prowling area. I'm sure they tour more than just this bit of one state.

Hm, good question. If I make it past lunch, I'm probably okay. But as you may know, Spontanious Human Combustion studies are in the early days of the science. Spontainious Fishy Combustions studies are even more primative.
