Hey folks, Harry here -- The first truly awesome film event of 2007 is upon us. Near the end of the month, January 24th - there will be a screening of INLAND EMPIRE at the gorgeous and amazing Paramount theater - with David Lynch to appear with his film and hold a Q&A afterwards. I can't friggin wait to see the film with Lynch here. Rebecca Campbell and the Austin Film Society contacted me to offer the AFS discount to 200 AICN readers to attend this amazing event. Here's how to do it:

Dear Friend of AICN:
Guess what -- David Lynch is coming to Austin with INLAND EMPIRE, and AICN has arranged for you to get the Austin FIlm Society member price and early purchase privilege. See below for all the details, and if you want to participate, email Harry at HK@aintitcool.com with: Lynch Me - in the subject line by noon on Friday, January 5. Indicate how many tickets you wish to buy. And give me your FULL NAME - as I'll need to give it to the Film Society.
