Leslie Hall is the BBW with the most amazing sweater collection - and one of the oddest musical acts. Or so I've seen and heard online. Leslie has also been romantically linked to Dan Deacon. In my fantasies... I missed her at the Beauty Bar in 2008 (and again this year at Emo's). Damn you, influenza and broken car! One day...

    The Rag Blog and South Austin Pictures present a screening of "God Thinks You're a Loser," a perverse comedy from Austin director Gary Chason, at The Independent in the 501 Studio Complex, 8 p.m., Thursday, August 27, 2009, 501 E. 5th at I-35 in Austin, Texas (entrance on Brushy Street, one block east of I-35).

    A donation of $10 is suggested, with proceeds benefiting The Rag Blog, a progressive internet news magazine based in Austin. There will be a cash bar.
     
    According to Chason, "God Thinks You're a Loser" is "a zany comedy about strippers and oil men" with "plenty of kinky sex, drugs, and the reckless pursuit of sensual pleasure." But in the end, those who hurt others must answer for their actions.

    Much of the film takes place in Hell.
     
    A live discussion with director Gary Chason and star Sue Rock will follow the screening.

    self promo http:../../..www...originalalamo...com/..Show...aspx?id=6566 Music Monday: DFW PUNK Rated NR; 68min; Director:Laura Tabor-Huerta Location: Alamo Downtown This show is a part of the Music Monday Signature Series, Click to See More Sponsored by Austin's greatest music store, End of an Ear Records, and Austin's most essential vintage furniture and decor store, Room Service. A documentary about the Dallas & Fort Worth, Texas punk and new wave music scene. It covers the early years in the late 1970's to the middle years in the late 1990's and gives a tiny glimpse of where those eras have led punk to now. In the documentary, fifty people were interviewed between the ages of 12 and 50 about their opinion of what punk is and isn't and what place they hold in the punk scene. Some notable people interviewed are: Bobby Soxx, George Gimarc, Barry Kooda and MC 900 Ft Jesus. For old (and young) Big D and Cowtown punk rockers, this screening is likely to be a family reunion. For everyone else it's an exciting look at the workings of a scene. Featuring a huge amount of stunning rare footage including live performances by The Ralphs, The Nervebreakers, The Telefones, Teenage Queers, Why Am I? and Riot Squad, among many more. Watching DFW PUNK will give you the feeling of photocopied exhilaration you got from finding that new zine that spoke directly to you. Kid Policy: 18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent or guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed. Screenings (click on a show time to buy tickets): Monday, August 03, 2009 o 10:00p IMDB page http:../../..www...imdb...com/..title/..tt1423354/
