Ellis Paul
Where: Cactus Cafe
Date: 2007-05-11 20:15:00

8:15 doors, 9PM show. $15 at the door. Ellis Paul, a folk musician born Paul Plissey in Aroostook County, Maine, was a chief architect of what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, an urbane, literate folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. Critics have praised him for a charismatic, personally authentic performance style that has influenced other folk-pop musicians. While remaining among the most pop-friendly of today's singer-songwriters with songs that have appeared in movies and TV, he has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more successfully than many of his songwriting peers. Personal note: I have seen Ellis play live many a time, and each and every one have been blown away. This man is poetry embodied in music, implanted in flesh. Whyever miss this?

Ain't It Cool News and Fantastic Fest present 5-25-77 Rated Unknown This show is a part of the Celebrity Guests Signature Series, Click to See More Ain't it Cool News and Fantastic Fest present Director Patrick Read Johnson and special guests live in person for a sneak preview screening of 5-25-77 at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Downtown on June 6, 7:00 PM "To everybody else, movies are something to do when you're tired of living real life. To you, real life is something to do when you're tired of watching movies." That quote is from 5-25-77, an autobiographical , coming-of-age story from writer/director Patrick Read Johnson, all about his final, life-changing, 24 hours as the only science-fiction-obsessed teen filmmaker in his rural home town of Wadsworth, Illinois, on the day STAR WARS opened... May 25th, 1977. Will seeing one movie really change Patrick's entire destiny? All he knows for sure is that the Death Star could take out the Enterprise with one shot. Produced by the legendary Gary Kurtz (whom you might know from producing a modest sci-fi film in the 1970s called "Star Wars" that you might have seen) and directed by Patrick Read Johnson (Spaced Invaders, Angus), starring John Francis Daley (Sam Weir from FREAKS & GEEKS!), and with years worth of Internet buzz, 5-25-77 is practically guaranteed to please the inner geek in anyone. The film premiered on 5-25-2007 at the official Star Wars Celebration IV Convention to rave reviews. Since Austin's Ain't It Cool News constitutes one of the fanboy epicenters of the universe, we are next in line for this long-awaited treat.
