I was on cloud nine or maybe cloud 101 last week during and after the River Oaks Theatre screening of my 101 KLOL documentary "Runaway Radio" to a near sell-out of the 249-seat big screen room!
Much of my life, going back to 1994, when I saw the first run of Kevin Smith's 'Clerks' has been spent in this iconic Houston film theater.
Thanks to everyone who showed up to watch a film about a Houston institution inside a Houston institution! From what I understand, KLOL offered listeners a one-dollar and one-cent price deal to see the midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show back in the day.
VIPs attending the "Runaway Radio" screening and cast Q&A included Texas State Senator Carol Alvarado and former 104.1 KRBE morning show host Maria Todd.
What's cool is that "Runaway Radio" is one of the first films to play in the newly reopened classic theater since it opened the door in October.
Dayna Steele, Lanny Griffith, Brian Shannon from Stevens & Pruett, Grego, Pat Fant, Doug Harris, Dr. Betty Halpern, Jay Jones, and director Mike McGuff all took the stage, with Michael Garfield, the "High Tech Texan" as the host.
“My very first ‘date’ was Brett Closs’ 7th birthday party with my crush Dale Clark, and we all went to see Fantasia at the River Oaks Theatre,” Steele said.
FavoriteRadioShirts.com even gave away new 101 KLOL t-shirts!
