A final also: you can hear me and the Front on the NPR show "Word of Mouth" on Thursday. Please note that I will be sounding like a frog because I caught the flu. It's awesome, I recommend it. Frontalot, however, sounds less amphibian and more homo sapien. Ribit.

Friends, pals, habibis,

We are finally in possession of critical information concerning Nerdcore Rising’s premiere at South by Southwest (sxsw) in Austin. We have three screenings – which means triple the nerdy fun and triple the chances to eat authentic Central Texan BBQ.

Here’s the deal:
Sunday March 9 – at Alamo Lamar 2 (1120 Lamar Blvd S) – 10:30pm
Tuesday March 11 – at Alamo Lamar 2 (1120 Lamar Blvd S) – 10:30pm
Friday March 14 – at Austin Convention Center – 1pm

For those in the super-keen-on-Nerdcore category, we have a treat: After the first screening (March 9), we invite you to throw down with us at the film’s premiere party. All you need is your ticket stub and the Will to Fun. A little guy by the name of MC Frontalot (who actually stands at a 6’2” tall) will be performing something called “Nerdcore.” Frontalot will be followed by a guy named “Prince Paul” who will be DJing something called “legendary hip hop.” Does that sentence earn a double take? I do believe it does! That’s right, MC Frontalot and hip hop hero Prince Paul will be in the same room. Stranger things have happened (for example, they’re in the same movie). 

And, if you’re interested in helping us with street-teaming activities while we’re in Austin, please send me an email. We’d love to have your help! Especially if you live there and know what’s up.

There’s more helpful details below but its kinda boring and overly logistical so I’ll officially end the blog here and let that information be a part of the oft-neglected postscript zone.

Can’t wait to nerd you up in Austin,
negin & gang at Nerdcore Rising

How to get Tix:
You can spend a large amounts of money and buy a festival badge. If you’re a Film Geek, this is the best option for you because you’ll see a bunch-load of films before regular America sees it and you’ll be very interesting at cocktail parties. You can buy those here.

Aside from the badges there is a "general film ticket" sold by Waterloo video in Austin for $70 and it allows you to see all movies at the festival after the badge holder seats have filled up. Find out more about the 70 bone deal here.

But most of us are regular humans who just wanna buy one ticket to see one movie. Tix for the normals goes on sale 15 minutes before show time. BUT they suggest you get there an hour before to line up, especially if its a smaller venue (ours is somewhere between “medium-ish” and “not quite small”).

Party Deets:
Sunday March 9, midnight till we-get-kicked-out-o'clock
@ Latitude 30, located on 512 San Jacinto Street
