When I called my credit card company to let them know I’d be traveling to Estonia and Latvia, I got a response I wasn’t expecting. “That’s nice. What country are those in?” “Um, those...
Here’s Hoping that this Fantastic Fest Will Be Less Bro-tastic Than Last Year

Looking forward to the DIY Wackiness at Fantastic Fest!
Never mind the hella-awful Austin allergy forecast (which features the four icky horsemen of the achoopocalypse riding into town on their microscopic horses) …but today is the first day of Fantastic Fest, 2012. It’s...
At the Racetrack
Kind of shocked to be spending Friday night at the racetrack, even if it’s for a screening of ROAD WARRIOR. Update: Pictures! Alamo Drafthouse inflatable screen in the middle of the racetrack! Sometimes the...
