If we’ve said it once, we’ve said a thousand times: there’s no such thing as a boring night home alone in Austin. This evening, for example, you can mingle with indie film peeps, view tantalizing sneak peeks of little-seen moving pictures, and dance/drink/socialize yourself silly at Cheer Up Charlies, courtesy of Cinema East.

Yeah, we know: you already have plans to hit Chaos in Tejas/attend that preview screening of Prometheus/get your Queerbomb outfit sorted this evening. Tough cookies. Austin indie-centric film series Cinema East is throwing itself a kickoff party at Cheer Up Charlies tonight and that’s why all your prior plans are now in total disarray.

Film, DJs, photobooths, booze, hipsters and hipstettes…why not make a night of it prior to yet another insanely packed weekend? We’ll see you there. (After we go scope the new Ridley Scott, that is.)
