Don't mess with Texas.

So a local chain of (amazing) movie theaters made yahoo news! The name of the theater is The Alamo Drafthouse and they combine the movie experience with a dinning (and drinking) experience. This chain is by far my favorite place to go see any movie. They really do stick with the "Keep Austin Weird" slogan.

Anywho, now that you know a tad about them- they recently made the yahoo headlines because of their No Talking or Texting policy. I'm attaching the news story below but before I do I must say that if you're ever in Austin you should make time to catch a movie at this funky theater. 8-)

Nice! I hate it when I'm at a movie and someone whips out their bright cell phone in the middle of it to text. -.- So, go them with this new new policy!! *Gives this a big thumbs up*

(Original post edited a bit due to crankiness. What can I say, inconsiderate people in movie theatres irk me considerably.)

They really should just build Faraday cages around movie theaters. :D
