movie night status

[Greg Meece]

Even though it's not the same "experience" as the Alamo, the Bob Bullock Museum is showing "Star Trek: Into Darkness" on their true IMAX theater.  Here's the ticketing URL:

I say "true" in that IMAX has two licensed theater styles - the old school big type (such as the Bob Bullock IMAX) and the newer digital "baby IMAX". I was rather disappointed when I saw a movie here in Austin on the smaller screen.  See:

Anyway - just to let you know there's more than the Alamo here in Austin.

hi all,

here is the lastest poop on the movie night. things are flux but we have some general plans. and nothing is in stone yet so look at this as an outline.

first off, i have been joined in this project by the folks at crowd tilt. they are a perl shop that organizes and manages the money for events like movie night. they want to help as well as sponsor it. this will make the evening much more affordable for attendees.

here are the rough ideas. attendees will buy a ticket for $15 via crowd tilt. that will get them admission and one drink (beer or mixed). food (which looks interesting from the menu) is on your own tab. our goal is at least 50 people. crowd tilt will be sponsoring the rest of the expense. the numbers are variable so it may work with fewer people or something.

the bad news is the theater we want is the alamo ritz on 6th st. it is the old classic one everyone means when they say drafthouse. they are showing the hangover 3 which isn't any good from what everyone says. 
star trek is showing at another alamo venue and would be more expensive since they charge extra for first run movies.

the alamo ritz has a 72 person theater there. we can sit, eat, drink and talk back to the movies as we will have the whole room.

we also hope to have dave adler do a second feature from his cromulent collection of bad and worse films. the alamo ritz has digital projection so that should highlight the quality cinematography of these fine flicks!

we expect to send out a short list of some classic films. we will have to vote on them quickly as this event is just a week from monday. hard to believe yapc is approaching as it has never been held in early june.

so chime in with whatever. keep it civil. hold your catcalls for the actual screening!

thanx,

uri
