Dionysium: Blame the Transformers (for the energy crisis)
Dionysus is the god of wine; Dionysium is the wine of debate. Or something like that.
In keeping with this weekend's Live Earth concert, which used only 357873 billion* kilowatts of electricity to promote green energy practices, Austin's infamous Alamo Drafthouse-housed (Drafthoused?) Dionysium debate/music/film/ drunken-intellectualism panel goes green tomorrow night. This latest installment of Dionysium will feature a presentation about Austin's Kill-A-Watt Challenge, a highly important debate about a still-nebulous topic between as-yet-undetermined individuals, a series of eco-disaster film trailers, and a devilish drinking song. If you couldn't attend Live Earth, this is certainly the next best thing--or maybe an even better thing, because it features drinking (of all-organic ales made on wind-powered farms**, clearly).
Check out a compilation of past Dionysium topics and resolutions here to get an idea of what you're in for tomorrow night. Music, mental machinations, and mead-inspired mayhem: what more could you ask for?
