Five Days and Counting
The Schedule is locked, the goodie bag items are flooding into the office and the Alamo logistics team is busy preparing an assortment of both delightful and horrifying treats for your amusement. I wanted to confirm a couple of key details for newbies and veterans alike. First of all, I wanted to make sure that everyone was aware that BNAT will be held at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar for the first time this year. There is plenty of parking at the theater. We will begin letting people in at 11:00 AM and will start the show PROMPTLY at noon. With 24 hours of programming, our schedule is run on miltary precision. We’d appreciate it if everyone could arrive at 11:00 AM so we can process check-in, distribute bags and shirts and get the show started on time. If anyone has any specific dietary requirements, questions, medical needs or anything like that, please forward those to the Alamo South Lamar general manager Kristen Bell.
A couple other things I should warn you guys about:
1) We don’t allow talking during the movies. You are going to be in a room FULL of cinephiles. If you have a comment, we ask that you save it until the closing credits. Talking extends to texting and cell phones as well. Don’t do it in the theater or I might get angry…and you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.
2) Don’t sleep during BNAT. Get plenty of rest the night before and if you are getting sleepy, go splash some water on your face, cut your arm with a razor blade or do whatever is necessary to regain your focus. The Alamo reserves the right to torture sleepers with electric shock and/or ancient Chinese techniques. By reading this now, you are legally agreeing to these terms.
I can’t wait to see old friends and meet a bunch of new ones at this truly magical experience. We’ll see you in five days and counting!

yes! Five days to go. Looking forward to it.
Does the note above mean that it is ok to bring a cellphone this year? I suppose it doesn’t matter as much because it’s easier to stow it in your car when the car is just out in the parking lot instead of on some downtown austin street. I can’t imagine making any calls but it’s my portable camera and it would be nice to be able to take pics during the fest (even if it IS on my crappy cell phone camera)
I’m excited. We’re closing in. I think my wife might be more excited than I am. Any news on bagging and/or preparty?
