Tonight, join filmmaker Jeff Krulik-director of the legendary “Heavy Metal Parking Lot”-as he introduces and presents outtakes and unseen footage from the endless hours he recorded for the documentary, entitled “Traveling Sideshow: Shocked and Amazed,” which was based on James Taylor’s “Shocked and Amazed! On & Off The Midway.”
