Fanboys
February 6th

Come out to Alamo Drafthouse Ritz to support local filmmaker, Ernie Cline. Austin Browncoats might remember him as our Talent Show winner from Geekstravaganza 2007.

Set in 1998, the story tells of a group of friends who, eager for the premiere of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace - and because one of them is suffering from cancer and wishes to see the film before his death - decide to break into Skywalker Ranch and steal an early print of the film. A road trip begins as the friends encounter William Shatner, obsessed Trekkies, and bikers who make them undress for water.

Can't wait to see you there!

Where: Alamo Drafthouse Ritz, Austin
When: 9:45 PM
Cost: General Admission - $8.50

Featuring the music of Guns 'n Roses, Motley Crue, Warrant, and more - it's okay to cry, just make sure your hair is big while you do it.
