Timecrimes Karaoke Party Jan 16!

It's too early for details, but I wanted to tell everyone to mark your calendars now. After the 9:45 (or thereabouts) show on Friday, January 16 on the opening weekend of TIMECRIMES at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, you are all invited for a karaoke party in honor of our favorite Spanish director, Nacho Vigalondo. Nacho's karaoke performances are legendary, and it only seems fitting on the Austin opening night of his feature TIMECRIMES to break out the synthesized beats and wireless microphones for a song party in his honor. Fantastic Fest veterans, this is the show to come to. Bring your friends and share the rare and potent blend of time-travel suspense thrillers and spirited renditions of 80s pop classics.

Before the film for the duration of the run, we'll be encoring the collected short films of Nacho Vigalondo, a huge hit at the 2008 festival.

I've got a list of all of Nacho's favorite songs, and I demand that they all be sung by the end of the night. Tickets are not yet on sale for this show, but check back in the middle of next week when we hope to have the showtimes locked down.
