The day we've all been waiting for finally came yesterday with not only
a giant pair of scissors, but a huge sword as well. Tim League, creator
of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, was on hand to cut the ceremonial
ribbon, as well as send our theater off on a good luck note by sabering
the top of a Champagne bottle off with a trusty sabre, a tradition in
which victorious cavalries would saber the top of a bottle after battle,
because as Napoleon would say "In victory one deserves it; in defeat
one needs it". Three bottles were sabered during the ceremony and all
three were executed without exploding, so we're already off to a great
start! Following the ceremony, Tim League led local members of the press
on a tour of our historic building before sitting down to watch a
special screening of
Jurassic Park.
