A killer time
— Assassination H20, a citywide watergun assassination tournament, kicks off Monday at 7 p.m. with a screening of “Gotcha” at the Alamo Downtown. For more information, contact organizer Ty Pearson at 423-7912 or assassinh2o@hotmail.com.
— The 48 Hour Film Project is this weekend, and you can see the results of the 26 local teams’ hard work Tuesday and Wednesday at the Arbor. Screenings start at 6 each night, and admission is $7.
— Austin screenwriter Bonnie Orr speaks at Reel Women’s “The Network” mixer Wednesday night at Mother Egan’s.
A few other Reel Women dates to keep in mind: “First Monday Mix” (this time on the second Monday because of the July Fourth holiday) is 6-8 p.m. July 10 at the Opal Divine’s at Sixth and Rio Grande streets. Screenwriting instructor Suzanne Weinert speaks at the meeting at 7 p.m. July 19 at Austin Filmworks. And July 29 is the deadline for the script competition.
— Opportunities to combine rock and thrift are always good, and the Alamo South has one for you. On July 5, the Alamo screens Dick Rude’s Joe Strummer documentary “Let’s Rock Again” for only $1. And you get to see a second Rude feature, “La Punk.” And you get an invitation and the all-important drink tickets for an after-party at the Beauty Bar. For more information, visit the Alamo Web site.
