Editor's Note: The following preview was written assuming an M4W arrangement, but we think it applies just as nicely to a W4M, M4M, W4W, M4MW, W4MM, W4MMM, or any other permutation that you might fancy. As such, feel free to Mad Libs your way around words like "her" or "teddy bears," replacing them with, respectively, "him", or "NASCAR". Whatever the case may be, here's to your V-Day being a festive one.
It’s not every year that you get a special date occasion on a Saturday. So, instead of bemoaning how this is a “stupid holiday made up to sell candy and teddy bears” (it never works anyway, and it always just seems like a copout to avoid the pressure), maybe just embrace that it's going to have to be the best damn date you’ve ever shown her. Accept the challenge and take her to see a good movie.
This February 14th the Alamo South Lamar will show Annie Hall , the Academy Award-winning masterpiece that blended comedy and romance into a big soft serve chocolate vanilla swirl cone of awesomeness, and is throwing in a delicious meal as part of the deal. It’s the perfect date and all you need to do is spring for tix.
Think about it: why strain your brain trying to come up with amusing stories all night (—oh, or ask her about herself! We read somewhere that girls like that) when you could let Woody Allen dazzle her with his trademark sentimental wit instead? And why try to pass off roast chicken from H.E.B. as homemade when you could sit her in front of a delicious meal prepared by the Alamo’s Chef John Bullington? Spread the word: letting professionals do it better is the new DIY.
All that deliciousness and a great movie too? You bet your kishke. Laugh as Allen and Diane Keaton, in a career-defining role, throw out witty asides and random banter. Cry as Allen’s heartbroken comedian struggles to find true love. Maybe even sneak a kiss during one of those quiet moments. Why not? It’s V-Day!
This is a can’t-lose proposition. Seriously—if you and your significant O can’t make a romantic night out of this classic comedy, Alamo’s amazing food, and a few romantic brewskis, then no one can. We know from experience—anyone not staring deeply into each other’s eyes by the time the credits roll wasn’t paying attention. And if you’re caught not paying attention on this of all nights…well, you'd better have plenty of candy and teddy bears stashed somewhere.
