I was at both the original Faculty premiere at the Paramount and the 25 year anniversary. It was indeed a very cool time. I'm pretty sure Death Proof also features the front of Gueros and Magnolia Lake Austin (RIP). I remember seeing that at the Alamo S Lamar in its former incarnation in the shopping center when it still had the massive parking lot and single story 50s store fronts and they incorporated more of the Grindhouse (Death Proof / Terror Planet) related items into the theater. That was around 2007? The year that Austin really hit the inflection point that 15 years later turned Austin into not Austin anymore. I can't remember if Terror Planet had any local filming locations. Now I need to see Frailty and that Friday the 13th remake.

My handler was also there. A little sad Elijah couldn't make it, but his message was fun.

Yes. It was a nice message. I think he was at the premiere, but that was pre LOTR when he was decidedly less famous. (And pre scooters)
