Hey folks, Harry here... This time AICN and FANTASTIC FEST are bringing in 6'3" of unhinged hilarity... That's right, Will Ferrell is coming to Austin, Texas and the Alamo Drafthouse for a crazy event that could only be cooked up from the mad minds of Tim & I. The event is free.... but, you've got to come... well, you'll need to read the below text from the Alamo...
Fanastic Friends! Ain't It Cool News and Fantastic Fest have an unbelievable special event happening an February 16 at 7:00 PM. The titan among modern-day comedy giants, Mr. Will Ferrell, along with director Kent Alterman will be live in person at the Alamo South Lamar for a special sneak-preview screening of his new comedy feature: SEMI-PRO! Tickets to this show will be activated online at 1:00 PM on Thursday, February 7 for Fantastic Fest badge-holders only! Tickets will be open to the general public on Friday, February 8 at 5:00 PM. If you haven't committed to Fantastic Fest 2008, now is the right time! Because of the high demand for these tickets, we don't expect these to last until Friday. Complete 2008 badge options are available on the Fantastic Fest website. Admission to this event is free, but here's the catch... in order to gain entrance to the theater, all attendees MUST be wearing a Flint Tropics uniform. No uniform, no entry; you're going to have to show your dedication to get through the door. To enter, you must be wearing ALL of the following: -sneakers -white tube socks with gold rings -gold, white or aqua shorts -white Flint Tropics tank top jersey complete with team logo and number -gold terry cloth headband You can hand-craft your own uniform, but it must be complete. We also have available a licensed unifom set at Mondo Tees which includes everything but the shorts and sneakers (tube socks, headband and Flint Tropics tank top complete with your name ironed-on the back of the jersey in 70s style fuzzy letters). Check it out here. It should go without saying that afros, 70s hairstyles in general and a very tight cut of shorts are all highly encouraged. Before the film, we'll have a granny-style free throw competition, plus we'll take a group photo of everyone from the audience in their Flint Tropics gear. This photo will be posted to the web at high-resolution for everyone to download and print. Fantastic Fest badgeholders are entitled to 1 ticket per badge, and as this show will sell out quickly, we will be scrutinizing the list carefully to ensure that all confirmed attendees are in fact Fantastic Fest badge holders. Will Ferrell's coming! I, for one, am going to wear the tightest, most golden shorts available! And I hope you do too! Enjoy the show! THE ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA
