Alamo’s Rolling Roadshow features cycling flick
Wanna slurp pasta, gnaw ribeyes and sip wine while watching one of the most celebrated bicycle films of all time?
The Alamo’s Rolling Roadshow brings 1948’s “Bicycle Thieves,” directed by Vittorio De Sica, to the lawn of Tim and Karrie League’s home at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 23. The Leagues are the owners of the Alamo Drafthouse.
The screening benefits the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Think of it as a post-event celebration of the BP MS150, the two-day charity bike ride from Austin to Houston that took place last weekend.
Better yet? Ride your bike there! The audience is sure to be stacked with proponents of two-wheeled transport.
The Alamo website describes the flick as a neo-realist classic about a poor man whose future is threatened by the simple act of a bicycle theft. (Yick. I know how it feels to have my bicycle stolen.)
Executive Chef Chris Kincaid will prepared an Italian feast featuring pasta puttanesca with seared scallops, salad, ribeye milanese with baby artichoke and sweet potato gnocchi, and grilled strawberries with ravioli di ricotta and zabaglione, all paired with appropriate wines.
Tickets are $75 each.
