I pay rent to the Alamo Drafthouse. Well, at least I should. Outside of work, it seems I split my awake hours between the Drafthouse and everywhere else.
If you only go to the Drafthouse once or twice, you'll think it's cool and maybe leave it at that. But if you are an average movie goer, the Drafthouse changes the way you experience the movie. Between the movie selections, the special events, beer and food at your seat, the no talking PSA's... I can't imagine going anywhere else for a movie when a Drafthouse is near by.
To me, it isn't just a large room where i can see the most recent flick, but a place the lives and breathes the movie culture... it's my sanctuary.
So tonight I am in Houston helping out the guys here with some overflow work. On the drive over, pulled up the Drafthouse locations to see if any were on my route. Google landed me at the Mason Park Alamo Drafthouse in Katy, TX. This is not the first time I've been to a Drafthouse outside of Austin... it sometimes gives me the feeling like I'm cheating on a girlfriend... or something. There are differences from the Austin theaters to all the ones outside of it... usually they make Austin's look a little better. Except for one thing I found tonight. The Mason Park location has a mini art gallery themed to recent releases. Right now, all the art has to do with superman. Wish I had a bit better camera, but here are some pics of the art wall.
