WASHINGTON – We might not have been entirely sure whether mobile devices were actually permitted in the theater last night, but that didn’t stop Energy In Depth from live-blogging (via Twitter) the Washington, D.C. premiere of GasLand – an anti-energy documentary that’s short on facts, but long on hyperbole, distortion and serially hilarious inaccuracies.

The movie, with a run-time of 107 minutes, elicited nearly 30 separate entries from EID on its Twitter page online (that’s one tweet every 3.8 minutes!). Below is a transcript of the night’s proceedings:
