Are Video Home System tapes a good media format? Well, no: Their fidelity is suspect and they’re so prone to picture degradation. Has that stopped me from dropping my hard-earned cash on a VHS copy of Y2K horror Dracula 2000? Absolutely not! If you share my irrational love for those plastic rectangles, you’ll be pleased to hear about a three-way collab between nonprofit rental haus We Luv Video, venue/drinkery/restaurant Double Trouble, and Austin VHS Swap (self-explanatory). Hear: the dulcet tones of live music from Bae Price, Texacala Jones and the Night Mares, and Swan Gondrez. Touch: rare VHS finds, goofy vintage promo merch, and cold pints of beer. See: a screening of John Waters’ Cry-Baby, where a costume contest could net you and yours a free private theatre rental. – James Scott
