It's been a week of "lasts" at the original Alamo Drafthouse, including the last Terror Thursday, Master Pancake Theater, A/V Geeks and Butt-numb-a-thons ever to happen at the venerable Colorado St. location. And tonight marks another sad Alamo last--one that we're particularly bummed about--the last Music Monday.
Though the series is slated to continue at the Alamo's fancy new 6th Street location sometime in the fall, tonight will probably be the last installment programmed by Music Mondays founder and all-around awesome person Kier-La Janisse. So even though we ambled out of the Alamo at 5am this morning (just in time to catch two hours sleep), we're heading back downtown tonight for one last music movie with the regular Monday night crew. You should come!
Tonight's film, Nashville Girl, is a country exploitation classic about a young girl who runs away from home to become a country-western star. But when she reaches Nashville, she finds out that life in the music biz isn't all it's cracked up to be. And (of course) along the way she meets some sleazy truckers, lesbian prison guards and corrupt music execs.
Vancouver disco comedy duo Canned Hamm will play a set before the movie, and there'll be all kinds of prize giveaways, so don’t miss out.

i saw Canned Ham at Room 710 on Saturday night. i am still in a daze from the performance.
You need a hug!
I too have had my heart filled with love by Big and Little Hamm. There was some other stuff, too, but the love's the important part.
