First off, many thanks go to Amanda for pointing me to the website/blog Austinist, a website/blog that covers the local Austin scene. I came across an article today that once again demonstrated why I like Austin.

This link pretty much says it all, but here are the highlights:

Beginning April 24th, Quentin and crew will be in town at the Alamo Drafthouse Downtown for “QT 7 - The Best Of”. Screenings will be held nightly through 4/30 except for 4/25, when the event moves to The Glenn for an outdoor evening of wackiness and gore. If you’re never been to these festivals before, Tarantino brings prints of obscure B-movies and programs each night around a theme: kung fu, good old boys, overlooked westerns, and crime in the city are some nights from older fests. The titles are never revealed until right before the screening, so one never knows what B-movie extravaganza awaits. Tarantino personally introduces each of the films, and usually sits with the crowd drinking beer and laughing along with his selections.
