OH AND

Almost forgot about that one. New monthly spot at a rooftop club? Well the guys at Learning Secrets always have done well for themselves. I hear tell there will be free Red Stripe from 10-11
If you've missed seeing Ringo Deathstarr live, it's about time you do. How about this Thursday? Why, that sounds wonderful.

I know I've been hammering this one into the ground. I know my flawless and charming rhetoric already won you over long ago. I know the gravity of the situation must seem unquestionable, BUT just in case I have failed to convince you to make the pilgrimage to see "Never Too Young To Die" tonight at the Alamo Ritz, I present video artifacts of
THEN

AND MORE THEN


AND THE TERROR OF NOW


Dear 12 Step Program,

Why do you always to this to people? Why?

Love,

P.S.
WHYYYYYYYY

For those of you lucky enough to not be completely submerged in mandatory things to do this week

TODAY (UPDATE): specifically for those not scared of internalized double-time rhythms. If you've never been to BARCELONA, it's definitely worth checking out. They have a unique vibe that's hard to find on 6th street and let's not forget this. Due to be a legendary show.

MONDAY


STUFF
+
The Texas Union and ECC present Robert Bresson's "Pickpocket" @ the Texas Union Theater 7:30 PM. It's FREE and it's way more accessible than the French New Wave your friend that's into that stuff tried to turn you on to. It's entertaining, but never untrue to it's subjects. AKA good. I like


TUESDAY

THE SEXTASTIC VULCAN VIDEO PRESENTS:
NEVER TOO YOUNG TO DIE
Marvel as John Stamos and the professional Canadian/pretty lady known only as Vanity conspire to overthrow a post-apocalyptic, hermaphrodite overlord named Velvet Von Ragner, who is incidentally played by Gene Simmons of KISS. No, I'm not making this up. I have never personally seen this movie, but I can safely say that even having someone tell me its premise was one of the most riveting experiences of my life.
10:40 PM, Alamo Ritz
FREE
show up early
always tip
YES YES YES

WEDNESDAY


"The Last Unicorn," with writer Peter S. Beagle live, in person @
Alamo Drafthouse Lake Creek (13729 Research Blvd) 7 PM, $9/ human.
For those of you unfamiliar with talking to women, this movie is pretty great. The voice work alone is worth the drive: Mia Farrow, Alan Arkin, Jeff Bridges, Angela Lansbury, and Christopher Lee as the scary bad guy, imagine that. The most 70s Hollywood feeling ever allowed into fantasy animation. Ok, aside from Ralph Bakshi, but he's something else entirely

+ MUSIC THAT IS NEW, LIVE, AND FREE
Featuring: International Waters, Caddywhompus, and Hatchet Wound (debut performance by Erin of Finally Punk and the indomitable Nigel of Bearclaw). It's all happening at Club 1808 (1808 E. 12th, how clever) from 9-12. Check it out. By the way, anyone know what's happened to Bearclaw?

Wednesday's also Passover. Eat some extra flat bread for this gentile

More to come as things develop. I had a great weekend. Hope everyone survived
