New Alamo Freakin\' Cool!
I got to see a movie at the new Alamo Drafthouse last night and it is freakin’ cool! My boss is friends with the owner, so we got to go to the pre-grand opening test run. $1 drinks and food and $1 admission. We saw Deathrace 2000, which rocked. Roger Korman is the man! The place looks great, with film reel lights on the walls, stadium seating, and absolutely HUGE bathrooms. No more waiting forever for a toilet or holding it until you get home. AND, extra bonus, it’s less than 15 minutes from my house. Yay! Sadly, though, the food isn’t very good, but that’s never why you went to the alamo, was it? They’ve got a ton of beers on tap, what more could you ask for? For those rare occassions when I venture out to the movies, I will be going to the Alamo South Lamar!
(On another note, go rent Deathrace 2000 if you’ve never seen it. It’s got a very young Sylvester Stallone, David Carradine, and more gratuitious violence and boobies than you can shake a stick at. Plus, it’s really quite funny and made me realize that America has always had an irrational hatred of the French.)
