Rock on, Avalon!
This is the most exciting news I've heard all week. The lovely little Avalon Cinema, closed for several months now, will be reopening this week as a theater pub. Woohoo!
They won't be serving beer and wine until the cranky ol' Oregon Liquor Control Commission grants them a liquor license, but after that, oh yes, they will. Beer and wine, pizza, coffee, and I'll bet we can still get popcorn. Who knew life could be this good?
Avalon will be reopening on October 20th, showing the local documentary "Clear Cut: The Story of Philomath, Oregon," times yet to be announced. Director Peter Richardson will be at the theater talking about the movie, but really, you want to go just to show your support for our wonderful independent theater and to flip the bird to the giant cineplex, because they don't serve booze.

A college town with a theater that serves booze. Isn't that a disaster waiting to happen? Or are they going to stick with the low distribution indie films?

Indie films... it's definitely an older crowd. Plus, it's a college town where the boozing seems largely relegated to fraternity row and campus; it doesn't spill over into the rest of the town nearly as much.

Hey, I live in a college town where the boozing does spill (literally) all over town, and even so I'm thinking of suggesting this to our local art house.
And c'mon, if you're 19 and wearing those perky new boobs you got for high school graduation, wouldn't you rather take your fake ID someplace where there's dancing!
Anyway, good news for the Avalon, much success to 'em.
