I am continually amazed by this town and the cool shit people find to do on an average \u2014 oh, I don’t know \u2014 Tuesday evening.  We just got back from the Alamo Draft House<\/b><\/a> downtown, and their fairly regularly featured Buffy: Once More With Feeling<\/b><\/a> sing-along.<\/p>\n

Those of you who remember, and enjoyed the old Movie Pitchers in NOLA (before if closed down a bunch-a years ago) will really enjoy The Alamo Draft House, because it is what Movie Pitcher was striving to be.  Every row of theater seats has in front of it a bar-like table and you can order tasty food, beer, wine, sodas and desserts and enjoy them all while taking in the flick.  They show old and new favorites and off-kilter cult classics.  They spend the entire month of October celebrating zombie and horror flicks.  They feature Rocky Horror on a regular basis (complete with floor show).  They have The Sinus Show<\/b><\/a>, which is basically a live version of Mystery Science Theater 3000.  I LIKE this place, they’re wacky and irreverent… count me in.<\/p>\n

For the Buffy: Once More With Feeling<\/b> sing-along, they handed out plastic vampire teeth, bottles of bubbles and cheap lighters… you were to try and sing as Spike with the teeth in during "Rest In Peace", the lighters were for when Buffy sings "Walk Through the Fire", and blow bubbles during Tara and Willow’s "Under Your Spell."  Everyone is encouraged to boo and hiss Dawn when she’s being a total twat, dance wacky along with Anya during "I’ll Never Tell", as well as stand, join hands and sway during "Where Do We Go From Here?"  And just to make sure you got your money’s worth, they opened the evening by showing the first season’s Halloween episode.<\/p>\n

They are also featuring two showings of their own "The Nightmare Before Christmas" sing-along on October 13th and 16th.  Tee-hee-hee.  It makes me very happy.<\/p>\n

All in all, a good night at an excellent venue.  Just enough to help us escape for a little while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
