Bigfanboy.com started in late 2004, and over the years has developed a loyal readership and fan base – we are officially the longest-running movie news and review website in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. This December marks the 11th Anniversary of the site (can you believe it’s been over a decade?!), and we’re going to celebrate in style. On December 6th, you are cordially invited to join us at the Angelika Dallas Theater in the cocktail lounge for a special holiday party.
No ticket required, though again this year we are asking everyone who wants to attend to bring a toy for Toys For Tots. With Christmas just around the corner, we want to give a little to those less fortunate, so bring a toy as your ticket to the party. All attendees will have access to awesome one-sheet movie posters and swag (including t-shirts, caps, and more) from hot current films and upcoming releases – and there’s plenty for everyone! We’ll also have tickets available for door prizes, including signed items, DVDs, and more. During the evening we’ll be making some exciting announcements, and saying thanks to those who helped make these past eleven years so very great. This is going to be a fun and relaxed evening for everyone, and to make it extra special, there’s gonna be free cupcakes (while they last)! Please join us at the Angelika Theatre in Dallas at 7:30 pm Central Time – Sunday, Dec 6th. Join the Facebook event page HERE to let us know you’re coming. Hope to see you there!
