The feature film showing was more than your usual cinema fare. It was a combination movie and comedy club, and drunken frat party. Well, not quite that radical (it was the 7 p.m. showing, after all), but it was value-added interactive entertainment. It was... an event.

Did I mention that the Drafthouse serves food and alchohol?
If I wanted to just watch a movie, I can do that quite well in the comfort of my own home, thank you very much. Big screen, hi-def home theater has never been so affordable, and movies were never so cheap and easy to get.
No, what I want is an experience, a reason to get off the couch and go sit in a room with a bunch of like-minded instant friends and have a trascendent experience. In short, I want an event.
And this July 4th weekend at the Alamo's Team America Sing-along, that's what I got.
Fuck, yeah.
P.S. - Thanks to Beth Burroughs for learnin' me 'bout this here event.
