I’m happy to announce our first expansion outside of New York and Los Angeles: Austin. The Nines will be starting at the [Alamo Drafthouse](http://www.originalalamo.com/default.aspx?l=4) (South Lamar) on September 28th. There’s a Q&A in the works for that weekend with me and Ryan — most likely on the 28th — so be sure to check back for details.
Originally, we were going to open in Austin the same day as NY/LA, but the Venice Film Festival threw a wrench in that. The logistics of getting from LA to Austin to NYC to Venice proved insurmountable, and we didn’t want to open without a Q&A. September feels better, anyway. Classes would have just started on August 31st, and that first week of school is more about mini-fridges and freak-outs than trippy meta-movies.
I’m a frequent panelist at the Austin Film Festival, and Ryan just shot a movie there, so it’ll be good to go back and catch up with friends and colleagues. And the bats.
As [previously noted](http://johnaugust.com/archives/2007/the-nines-at-the-nuart), The Nines opens August 31st in New York and Los Angeles, with a special Q&A at the LA screening on August 31st at 7:30 pm, and an introduction at the 10 pm show. [Tickets](http://www.movietickets.com/house_detail.asp?house_id=464&rdate=8%2F31%2F2007) are [on sale](http://movies.aol.com/movie/the-nines/28598/showtimes?date=20070831) now.
