The Paramount Theater

Because of the Troma party, Abdul arrives at the Paramount Theater a little late for Russell Crowe's movie "Texas".   

"I wonder if Russell Crowe is still here" thinks Abdul.  "We have a lot in common...we are both babe magnets."  Next

 
The movie has already started, and Abdul takes a seat in the balcony where he has a great view.   The movie documents Russell's band "Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts" and their performance in Austin.   Abdul's movie review: "I liked it!  They had a lot of fun, drank a lot of beer and said f**k a lot!"  Next
Russell Crowe's movie
 
After the movie, Russell Crowe came out, drank Shiner beer and answered questions from the audience.  He didn't notice the bear sneaking up behind him.  Next

"Ok, who let this bear up here???" said Russell.  But he was won over by Abdul's beer-drinking abilities.  Next

Abdul's big scoop from SXSW: "Russell Crowe is a nice guy!  He answered all the questions, let everyone take pictures and stayed until every autograph had been signed.  He looks like everybody else in Austin - jeans, rumpled shirt,  and a Shiner in his hand.  He and I are now best friends...as far as you know."
