That YouTube Thing trailer on that site...pretty damn cool!

That would be so awsome !! Wish i was still in texas or i would be there. Much better weather as well....

Just got my tickets locked in for Saturday afternoon...I can't wait. I will give my full report on the screening next weekend. For those interested, there will apparently be some cool posters released for this event.

Too bad I can't go. :cry: I'm broke. It's so close to me too.

jguthrie: That is cool, keep us posted, looking forward to the report and any pics! FF: That sucks you can't make it to Austin bro.... T

Thats too bad...I'm in Alice, Texas right now...until the 18th :( It would be a 3 hour drive...

Reminder, this starts today. Alamo screen THE THING tonite, Sunday, Mon, and Tues. If anyone attends please send us a report, pics, etc. T

Just got back on Saturday afternoon from the screening. It was awesome. The theater was not as packed as I thought it might be, but there were some true Thing fans there, including myself. The print was an older print and quite scratched at the beginning. Seeing it again on the big screen almost 26 years later was excellent. The audience also applauded during the opening credits and end credits. All in all, the Drafthouse rocks. I have pictures that I would like to post (with me doing my best Mcready), but i'm not too computer savvy and may need some advice on how to post them. (I have them on digital cd disc). Please let me know how I can post and I will.
