Off - Centered Film Fest Re-Cap

Last weekend was the Off-Centered Film Fest and I had some firsts, including my first viewing of "Strange Brew."

The film payed as part of Alamo Drafthouse's Rolling Roadshow at Republic park on Thursday. There were some tasty local brews on tap. They weren't Labatts, but they sufficed.

This was also my first RRShow experience

On Friday night I saw "Wet Hot American Summer" for the first time as well.

Michael Cera was at the screening and he seemed much nicer to his fans than he was in OUR last encounter. I still blame his bandmate from Mister Heavenly.

MC was with a chick who he was also spotted catching a flick with earlier in the week and dining at La Condesa on Saturday. My guess is that in the two appearances he's made in Austin with his band thus far this year, he realized what a kick ass town Austin is and decided he should spend some more time here. Perhaps the little lady has something to do with it too.

I encountered Joe the following day at a media mixer and told him about my previous encounter with Michael Cera and his bandmate. He said that he's never heard of Mister Heavenly so there was no reason for anyone to be a jealous douche(or something like that). Thank you, Joe!

Fellow "WHAS" star Ken Marino was also at the mixer.

The two were kind enough to take this off-focused picture with me.

At the media mixer held at The Highball, off-centered ales from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery were paired with local cheeses from Antonelli's Cheese Shop.
