I would really like to go to the Alamo Draft House Theater in Austin

First, they are a full restaurant and movie theater and show good stuff. Second, they don't put up with customers doing stupid shit. They threw a woman out (with no refund) after warning her twice about sending text messages during a movie. She called back and left a profanity-laced message on their answering machine, so they turned it in to a PSA spot that they show before movies.
