the original Alamo Drafthouse opened its doors with a simple idea: beer will make rnovies better.

Did Pink Floyd intentionally syn( up their magnum opus DARK SlDE 0F (ash THE M00N with THE WIZARD 0F 02, or is itjust a coincidence that the register starts dinging exactly when Dorothy walks into the <olorful land of 0z and one of the most expensive minutes of film for its day? We don't know, and we don't care, because when you boom DARK 5lDE out ovel the
sunound sound speakers and feel the tin man! heatt beat syncing up with your own as the bass pounds through your chest you'll be ready to follow

It got picked up directly by Showtime after ptemiering at Sundance and neverg0ta propertheatrical release,sotherearea lotof peoplewho have
never seen the REETER MADN E55 M0VIE MUSI(AL. We feel sony for you, so every chance we get we bring this special Sing-Along back for a one night party filled with special green brownies, joint rolling <ontests, and singing along to songs like "Listen t0 Jesus, Jimmy" and "The Brownie Song". 0ne
