Dallas Buyer's Club Part 2. And, Off You Go To Keep Austin Weird

I did actually see Dallas Buyer's Club. Now, we all know that not all Dallasites wear cowboy hats, as the character Mr. Woodroof does in the movie. And, there were not a whole lot of scenes that were shot in Dallas. (There were none).

Here's the positive spin:
When I first heard about the premise of the movie I was skeptical. Greatly diminishing this was the way the movie makes you actually care about the characters, while also making you gasp and gape in surprise, during other parts. (Did you need a reminder that there is always more to learn about AIDS and HIV?) Matthew McConaughey's (yes, Uvalde, TX's son) talent shows through, and Jared Leto is an adorable--NOT adorkable--transvestite. Off you go, to see it.

Two more items:
The fun fun fun fest started today in Austin, TX. Pick a day, any day, then pay 79.00, and go.
How else to keep Austin weird?
Also:
Visit with Latin crooner Alejandro Fernandez November 29 at the Verizon Theatre. Your Mexican side will never forgive you if you don't go.

Keeping Dallas weird,
Alice

Go Clubbing? At The Dallas Buyer's Club

If you want to see the hometown hero of Uvalde, TX and a former star of My So-Called Life, prance yourself over to a theatre to see Dallas Buyer's Club on November 8. This is the opening day...

So prance, prance, prance.

Not prancing,
