I got an email today from someone in Belgium who showed another bit of synchronicity between cats and drinking in Dutch:

Your own songs are also great and I also love the way Marc has put some new lyrics on traditional songs, about cats. Well, I also love cats and I enjoyed that. Maybe I do not consider it as crazy, because in my language there is a connection between cats and drinking. Believe it or not, but we use the same word to indicate a hangover and ... a tomcat. The word is KATER (pronounce the a a bit like i).

I love finding out stuff like that.

So need one more reason why the Alamo Drafthouse is the greatest movie theater ever?

Sure, you have full, tasty meals. You can order alcohol and a better assortment of non-alcoholic drinks as well. Friendly, clean. Then there's the pre-previews where you can watch old video clips relating to the movie you're about to see. But there is another reason.

Friday afternoon, I made a trip the Alamo Drafthouse Village to see the latest Die Hard movie (AWESOME!!!!). At the ticket booth, they had a sign. "Today Is Baby Day" (or something like that). Every Tuesday and Friday afternoon, parents can bring their babies with them to watch movies Without worrying about whether they will disturb other movie watchers. If the baby cries, the baby cries!

To me, that's just a beautiful sign of respect and love for their customers. Mothers and fathers can enjoy a movie without fear of disturbing others because I Was Warned. Mind you, there were no babies that afternoon. And I think the explosions and my whoops might've been enough to wake any baby, BUT I LOVE ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE! Greatest movie theater ever!
