Dear Editor and people of Austin, I just visited your fine city as part of a Universal Pictures competition to attend a screening of Inglourious Basterds at the Alamo Ritz. For the record, I just want to say that I have never come across a more polite, friendly town than Austin, Texas. I also wanted to send a special thank you to Eric and Lucy, who helped us when we were wandering around lost, looking for the Broken Spoke. (We were about seven miles from it and were planning to walk there – instead, they drove us!) I have no idea what the rest of America is like, but Austin is weird (or better still, rare) in the best possible way.
