Dinner theatre redux

[telophase]

So I've talked to you before about dinner movie theatres. We went to see Pirates 4 in one of them last week, but this isn't about that. What it's about is the Alamo Drafthouse, a chain of them in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. They have a strict no talking, no texting, no nuthin' policy in place - you get two warnings and then you get thrown out.

Recently they threw out a woman who was texting, who then later phoned up the theatre and complained on the voicemail. They turned her voicemail into the new "Don't Talk or Text" PSA shown before R-rated movies, which you an see here on Youtube. Rated R for language. :)

Hah. That was a pretty good rant! Nice rhythm. Kinda reminds me how, when the court reporter likes you, she will edit out all the ums and ers, and when she doesn't, she make sure to point out how ungrammatical you were and how many words you mispronounced. XD

Actually though, I'm leaving this comment to ask about the webspace you've been kind enough to keep lending to me. Eve and I are thinking about doing either a very simple click-through front page for Imaginary Beasts - actually maybe just using an embedded tumblr to link to the latest issue - or mirroring some of the content on Wordpress. Would you be okay with contributing a subdomain of magatsu.net to the cause? Or should I start looking for my own space? It'd be pretty light use, just text, since the images are all hosted elsewhere.

Sure, I can do that. If I can't get to it today, however, you'll have to remind me next Monday, because we'll be at A-Kon from tomorrow through Sunday (or Monday morning). I can't guarantee my net access there long enough to set it up. :)

So send me your info today or Monday - I *think* all I need is the subdomain name you want, as you're already in the system as a user.

You're the best!

There's no rush, I just wanted to ask you first before I promised anything to anyone else. Domain would be "imaginarybeasts" - "imaginarybeasts.magatsu.net".

[telophase]

No prob! If I don't get to it today, remind me Monday, because this notification will age out of my inbox and out of my mind. XD

PRICELESS.

Loved the exact transcription of her words. HILARIOUS.

Hi, btw. Added you to my reading list on account of your cat posts through the "latest things" explore option. I'm a catlady in training.

LMAO, awesome

The Alamo Drafthouse is something we seriously miss living up here in Fort Worth. If only they'd open one here!

In the immortal words of Dr. House:

I thought about building you a boat to survive the river of tears I'm crying for you, but the world's smallest violins just aren't a reliable source of lumber, and that cross you're nailing yourself to seems buoyant enough anyway.

Seriously, though, that lady sounds kinda drunk. CLASSY.

Heee! XD

Two thumbs up, would watch it again.

Damn, there needs to be one up around where I live.

On the plus side, in maybe the last year or two, *finally* the PSAs at the theaters I go to include texting as an offence.

Truly, they have transformed it into a thing of beauty.

Glorious. Next time I'm in Austin and we're planning to see a movie, I'm putting in my vote for this place.

Gotta love the use of the Ting Tings, too!

Magnited States floored me.
