Did you get the Memo?
Bad Printer
For all you Office space fans out there, (and I would think there would be a lot since the movie was shot here and Mike Judge resides here) the Paramount theatre is hosting an office space 10 year reunion event on Sunday. This is a chance for you to don your best Hawaiian shirt and put on an excess amount of flair to catch a special screening of the film. Expected to be at the screening are the following:
Mike Judge (Writer, Director, Everything-er)
Stephen Root (Milton)
Gary Cole (Bill Lumbergh)
John C. McGinley (Bob Slydell)
David Herman (Michael Bolten)
Ajay Naidu (Samir Nagheenanajar)
Paul Willson (Bob Porter)
Todd Duffey (Brian, Chotchskie’s waiter with the most Flair)
And Of course I can’t talk about Office Space without plugging the website I work for. Austin Star Map fills you in on some of the shooting locations of the movie. For their official launch party last year they held the soiree at the ‘Morningwood Apartment’s.’
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. What. A. Great. Movie
Rumor has it
Kevin getting his guitar on
In the never ending parade of actors who think they can sing, Kevin Costner will be bringing his band to Austin on February 5th at Antones. You can have a sneak preview of this spectacle
here, before you get your tickets to the show. Apparently Kevin has a house in Austin, but that’s not saying much as to how much time he actually spends here. He is a close friend to Longhorns baseball coach Augie Garrido, (who currently is dealing with some legal issues) and cast him in his film For Love of the Game. And speaking of that movie, I thought it was my duty to share with you all a random fact that I happened upon while scouring Wkipedia. Kevin’s frontal nude scene in For Love of the Game was reportedly deleted after being met with laughter at a test screening. You’re welcome for that.
It’s All About ME
I have been frequenting Mother Egans Trivia Tuesdays for the last two years and I always say to myself ‘I could totally write the trivia questions.’ Well I finally got my chance, albeit it was only one round out of the seven. I wrote an Austin celebrity themed round for the pub, with the winners of that particular round winning Austin Star Maps. The general consensus was that my questions were too hard. Well that just sounds like loser talk to me. Of course, I might have a biased opinion seeing as how I wrote them AND knew the answers. I’ll make sure to dumb it down next time I whip up a set of ten questions. To partake in the Trivia madness make sure you hit up Mother Egans on sixth. Trivia starts at 7:30pm every Tuesday.
