"Gasland" event/screening at Texas Theater

All the news lately about hydraulic fracturing makes us wish some comedy show would do a parody of The Beverly Hillbillies in modern times. Until Saturday Night Live thinks of it, imagine this opening theme song...

Come and listen to a story 'bout a guy named Jed
He didn't strike oil, but he found some gas instead
He sold his mineral rights and got a little money
And now his tap water's actin' kinda funny.

(Cut to Jed, setting tap water on fire):

Jed: "Weeellll doggy!"

But seriously, folks, the frackers are coming to Dallas. They've already applied for permits to drill near residential neighborhoods and the usual "pro-business" types are ready to welcome them with open arms. It's time to get educated and ask some questions before they start drilling near you!

WHAT: Screening of Gasland followed by Q & A with film director Josh Fox (by Skype), Robert Wilonsky of the Dallas Observer and local activists.

WHEN: Wednesday, June 29th, doors open at 7:00 with screening at 7:30.

WHERE: Texas Theater, 231 West Jefferson, Dallas
