Mr. Projector Benefit at Aurora Theater — UPDATE!



There's trouble in Projectorville! Mr. Projector (Houston resident and Scooter Battalion member Aaron Ball) needs your help, so he's throwing a party at the Aurora Theater this Saturday.

Proceeds from the event will go towards extensive medical bills incurred by Ball following a recent scooter accident that resulted in open-heart surgery.

The benefit will take place Nov. 22 from 6-8 p.m., and will feature a new episode of Mr. Projector , screenings of vintage educational films, and a live auction. Admission to the event is $10, and the first 50 people will receive a free Mr. Projector DVD.

Mr. Projector is the bespectacled and bow-tie-wearing alter ego of handsome actor Devlin Rogue, who stars in a movie-within-a-video podcast created and portrayed by Ball. The podcast was conceived as a vehicle for sharing Ball's extensive collection of 16-mm educational films from the 1940s through the 1970s.

Read an interview with Mr. Projector on Houstonist.

Benefit for Mr. Projector!

We are throwing a benefit/fund-raiser to raise money for our friend and Battalion member Aaron (Mr. Projector). You might recall that he was injured during the hurricane in a 1 vehicle incident. He was released from the hospital last week after a 2 month stay. The benefit will be Saturday, November 22 at the Aurora Picture Show in the Heights, from 6:00 - 8:00 PM. Please print the flyer and pass it out to help draw support. Of course, we hope that the Scooter Battalion will be out in force! Thanks, and I'll be looking for you there. It'll be fun!

We miss you already, Robert.


I am very sorry to inform you that we lost our dear friend and official Battalion photographer Robert Fox. He was in a fatal scooter accident at the Spook and Scoot Rally yesterday. On the last ride of the weekend, he took a curve too fast and lost control of his scooter. He was surrounded by his new brothers, the Royal Bastards, and suffered no pain before he left this world. The Royal Bastards have a forum and web page dedicated to him. We will update you with information about funeral services as soon as we know. If you have stories about Robert or memories you would like to share, please post them on our forum. I know that I will never forget his sweet shy smile.
