I always wondered what the kool kids were doing while I slogged through days of screenings in relative solitude. Turns out that Austin only has one IMAX, which I only discovered through the powers of Mighty Google. The screening was under-attended and the film was only average, but the sound was very loud and I snuck into the pre-screening reception and ate copious amounts of tiny veggie burgers, tasteless pizza things, and colored popcorn, and drank free tomato juice. Matt Dentler wisely did his best to avoid me. Another awesome report, Eric. I always wondered what the kool kids were doing while I slogged through days of screenings in relative solitude.

I thought it was more graphic/vulgar than the material required, so that soured my opinion of it a bit, but overall it was fun. I saw “Assassination of a High School President” at Sundance too.

I especially enjoyed reading about you sitting in a shopping cart at a hot Texan bus stop reading Entertainment Weekly. Why couldn't your friends push you into town and let you finish your mag? Geez, it was just a few/several miles. And would it have killed them to get you a Slurpie while they were at it? Dang. Excellent report!

I wish I could go to SXSW. Hooray for the Waiting for Guffman reference, which is probably my favorite snippet of dialogue in that movie.
