Mystery Science Theater Live!! was the first convention dedicated to Mystery Science Theater 3000. It ran from June 5th to 6th, 1989, at the Comedy Gallery in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was attended by a reported 600 fans. Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, Josh Weinstein, Jim Mallon, and others who worked on the show appeared on stage, with the main three also performing stand-up routines. The event included a showing of clips from the original series pilot and other highlights, a question & answer session, and a trivia contest.
The second issue of Satellite News covered the event. Clips from the event were later included on The MST Scrapbook.
