Big FANBOYS premiere event coming to Austin 2/6 7pm!

from Ernie Cline, writer of FANBOYS:

In conjunction with Alamo Drafthouse I'm trying to rally as many 501st member and Star Wars fans as possible to attend the screening at 7pm Friday, on Feb. 6th. (Not sure which Alamo yet - they're announcing it later this week.) We'll have the local press there, and are planning some other cool stuff for that opening night screening. We're trying to get as many fans as possible to come out in costume, wearing Star Wars t-shirts, wielding their lightsabers, or just to showing up to enjoy the flick. I've seen you guys post on the Fanboys myspace and wanted to make sure the Austin Fan Force knew about the event.

Austin and Houston are the ONLY 2 cities in Texas getting the film opening weekend, and other cities are depending on a massive turnout to get it released in more cities in the coming weeks, so we need as many people to show up as possible!

As stated, we're having a big screening on Friday the 6th, but Ernie told me he'll be there both Friday and Saturday, so if you can't make Friday come out Saturday! The Austin Fan Force hopes to be out in Force both days, with costume and trivia contests!
