Now, this is what one calls serendipitous timing: No sooner do I sit down with Richard Linklater to talk about his new hangout movie Everybody Wants Some!! than NOW sets up a screening of his old hangout movie, Dazed and Confused, as this month’s free flick at The Royal.

Nice, right? Okay, we might have planned it a little. But that teensy calculation shouldn’t keep you from enjoying the show, which I’ll be introducing at 7:30 pm to what’s expected to be a packed house.

Doors open at 6:30 pm, and tickets — as always — are first come first served. See you there? Awesome. Sorry about the weather.
