Meet the man himself: George A. Romero

Cross-posted from True to Life.

Nashville doesn't usually get these types of events; however, our little indie theatre, the Belcourt, is showing an advanced screening of Diary of the Dead on March 21st. The real news is that George Romero will be in attendance for the film, and I'm hoping for a short interactive parley with fans. I suppose the main reason I'm posting this is for Clyde Squid, but who knows, splash damage is also a possibility. For those interested, the link for tickets.


As a side note, I went to the Ryman last night to see Wilco perform. They played an amazing set and have recently been playing songs from some of the older albums. Last time Tweedy was in town he encored with the Tupelo song 'Acuff-Rose' by coming out to the edge of the stage and playing it without amplification. Must have left an impression as this time we were treated to 'Someone Else's Song' performed in a similar fashion.
