Austin Bike-In Theatre

Every Friday night at 8:30pm at Waterloo Cycles (corner of 29th and Guadalupe) from March through October, there's a free showing of short films of the Cinematexas film festival, classic television episodes, and feature movies.

Between the showings, contests are set up between members of the audience where they win gift certificates to local merchants. The contests involve the audience desperately vying for the gift certificates, struggling to win a piece of merchandise or service from one of the supporting stores.

Schedule is subject to change. For more information, contact Waterloo Cycles.

Here is a schedule for Spring 2002:
