i have 2 tix to THE WALKMEN for friday night at the parish in austin for sale AT COST. $22/ticket. plz contact me if interested. i CANNOT go to the show. :(

Thanks.

odam

oh she's hot for it, alright.

mark hammer

trippy, but curious -

But delve a little deeper, and you find some strange, even disturbing ideas. Ramtha says mirrors are portals to a parallel universe. Ramtha says children with Down syndrome have "chosen" their condition.

that's bs. i CHOSE down syndrome and all i got were these fat fingers.

Jooley_Ann

PS -- And anyway, I know you really plugged the film so you could post some booty. But I wonder...how does Odam know whether the woman is hot to go, based only on her hiney?

odam

don't go makin fun of people with fat fingers who can't type! *sighs*

Jooley_Ann

Pat Robertson -- he's the reason we lost Rhenquist! You do watch The Daily Show, don't you?

BTW, the "Seriously" -- which makes me seem like a snot -- was supposed to be included in the block quote & should have been underlined w/ the rest of the jump. IOW, it's in the referenced article.

Just wanted you to know that I'm not a snot. A fat-fingered hack when it comes to HTML, but not a snotty, fat-fingered hack.

Allen

Obvs we plug this for the same reason we'd plug a Pat Robertson appearance: because they're fucking nuts.

And in fact I did not know of any such "Ramtha" cult, although I've always attributed my Hulk-like physique to a steady diet of Hostess Cupcakes.

Seriously.

Jooley_Ann

Oh please, Austinist! Plugging "What the Bleep"?? You know that all three of the film's directors are followers of the Ramtha "School of Englightenment"?

But delve a little deeper, and you find some strange, even disturbing ideas. Ramtha says mirrors are portals to a parallel universe. Ramtha says children with Down syndrome have "chosen" their condition. Ramtha says you can read minds, alter your own DNA, reverse aging, teleport, travel through time, and prolong your life with Twinkies.

Seriously.

...just as I am kicking myself for forgetting to mention that the Alamo Village fundraiser is Tues. and Wed. this week, not just Wed. Oops. Be there anyway.

I know you are kicking yourself, Allen, for forgetting to include the Big Easy New Orleans Extravaganza movie and kick-ass meal fundraiser at the Alamo Drafthouse Village on Wed. $25 for food, wine, more food, cafe au lait, still more food, and a really great movie to watch while you stuff your face. But wait! That's not all! The best part is that 100% of the proceeds go to the Red Cross for Katrina Relief. Be there.
