Awesome JAWS event this weekend in Ohio

Tomorrow night the Cedar Lee Theatre, in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, is hosting cool-looking Jaws event. Not only will they be screening the movie on Saturday, Oct. 2, but a neighboring bar and restaurant will be serving the following items:

* Bloody Water shots at Parnell's Pu
* Special 'Shark Melt' sandwich at Melt all weekend
* Special appearance by JAWS himself, signing autographs for a donation of $1 (partial proceeds from the screening and sandwich will go towards the World Wildlife Fund)

All that, and you can watch the whole movie in less than two minutes.

So grab your 3-D glasses, sit back and enjoy the show!

Plans for a Jaws model kit from 1975

Here's something I stumbled on during a recent (web) surfing expedition: plans for a Jaws model kit from 1975. I have no idea if this was ever produced and can't recall ever seeing this kit, which is odd.
