SONUVABITCH!—You probably don't know the name Jack Rebney, but you do know about that guy on YouTube, selling Winnebagos and flipping the fuck out, unleashing a hilarious tirade of frustrated obscenities. The documentary Winnebago Man goes beyond YouTube to look at Rebney—the man, the myth, the foulmouthed legend. EH
Cinema 21, 616 NW 21st, see Movie Times for showtimes, $6-8
FEVERED—The placid, hooky rock of Austin's YellowFever sounds like girl-group classics, if the girls had combed out their beehives and picked up some cheap guitars at the pawnshop. The melodies peal out clearly and brightly, and the band is right in the pocket with every tune—we've already got the fever. NL
w/Orca Team; East End, 203 SE Grand, 9 pm
AND DON'T FORGET! Thurs, 6 pm, Landmark Saloon, Blogtown social hour, featuring special guest Denis C. Theriault. The Landmark will kindly be offering a $2.50 whiskey & ginger ale special for the occasion (yes, I just requested my favorite well drink, and y'all are gonna drink it and like it); also they've got "Tecate buckets for $10, Rolling Rock buckets for $8 (4 tall boys per bucket), and 24 oz Colt 45's are $3. During happy hour(4-7) the well drinks and draft beers are .50 off." It's gonna be fun, guys.
