Thursday at Lamar: THE BIRDS FEAST

If Alfred Hitchcock's THE BIRDS has one lesson to teach us, it is this: we are lucky. We're lucky that the birds in our world haven't decided to attack us, because there's no way we'd be able to fend them off. Avian flu? Please. It's kinda scary, but it will only kill MOST of the humans on the planet. Angry avians? They would be unstoppable. Sure, if you were stuck in a room with only one or two of them, you'd probably be able to survive. But birds are like zombies; they travel in flocks and they attack en masse. And even if we did somehow manage to kill them all off, then here in Austin we'd just be overrun by crickets. It's a lose/lose situation.

But again, we're lucky. We have dominion over the birds, and because they allow us that luxury, we are going to take FULL advantage of it on Thursday night. Chef John Bullington has put together an amazing all-avian feast that will let you taste a little bit of all of the fowl on screen and remind you that we live in a world where instead of being constantly pecked to death we are free to indulge in delicacies like the incredible Emuquaipartsantgoo, five different birds all stuffed inside the other and available for you to cut into and feast on. I can't wait.

Tickets to THE BIRDS All-Avian Feast are $60 and include admission to the movie, five courses of fowl, and each course served with a matching wine flight. Grab your tickets here, and we'll see you on Thursday!
