Too bad I don't live in America. It sounds like it would have been fun!

Randy, we're not aware of any other Texas events at this time. Like you, we wish there were more of them. It would be great to see The Muppet Movie on the big screen again.

I can't believe I missed this. I was so close to this, but college and not being able to drive is a drag
