Real nice writeup on the Alamo Drafthouse in today's Chron. I've been extremely jealous of my friends in Austin since I first heard of this place, and I'm just thrilled to pieces to have one here. Good movies, good food, no screaming kids, and did I mention they serve beer? Best of all, if the first location way out Westheimer at Highway 6 does well, they'll look to open another one in town. Excellent!
Tiffany and I will be doing our part to help make this location a success by attending tomorrow night's Mister Sinus Theater presentation of The Terminator. I'll report on it on Sunday.

Just so you know. Forewarned is forearmed and all that.
