This is going to be awesome, but I can't make myself do it.

So, I have a pretty irrational fear of water that isn't crystal clear. Despite this, I do enjoy swimming in the lake. However the entire time some tiny part of my brain is screaming in complete terror about what sorts of things might actually be in that water. The only reason I swim in Lake Travis is that I've been going there for years and I feel reasonably certain there are no giant evil water monsters.

This is one of the coolest roadshows the Alamo has ever done, and they are doing it again. They are showing Jaws on Lake Travis, and you're going to watch while floating in an inner tube on the water.

It is really one of the most bad ass things. But I will never be able to make myself swim again if I go. You know there's going to be some Drafthouse employee scooting around in the water to scare the hell out of people.

That is an awesome, awesome concept that I would never EVER participate in.

We used to do that in the swimming pool at my college; it was *awesome*. (But, yeah- I couldn't swim in the ocean for YEARS after seeing Jaws.)

That is a fantastic idea and would fuck me up for life, probably. :D

I am so terribly, terribly envious of this movie theatre. There is absolutely nothing like it here. 0_o
