Hey y’all! The film Strange Powers: Stephin Merritt & the Magnetic Fields is screening at the Alamo Ritz tonight and Wednesday. Tonight, Mon., Nov. 8, 7pm features a Q&A between our own Andy Campbell and director Kerthy Fix after the screening.

Seems logical that Andy is the “Q,” but we’ll leave Kerthy and her “A” to your imagination! The film is terrific – a lovely, personal glimpse into the lives of Stephin Merritt and his wonderful BFF and bandmate, Claudia Gonson. Come on downtown; we bet you might just run into a few more Gay Placers than you bargain for. And perhaps even a unicorn.
