The Coalition of Texans with Disabilities have always been huge supporters and fans of The Gene and Dave Show.  This year they’ve asked Gene and Dave to help host their Cinema Touching Disability film festival at The Alamo Draft House on Lamar.  Gene, unfortunately, is unavailable for this event, but Dave will be there fully charged and ready to roll.  Come one, come all to this awesome event.

Friday, October 5th, and Saturday, October 6th, in the evening, the fun will commence at Alamo Draft House South Lamar.  Below, is a summary of what things you will experience on each night.  Read through both nights, then buy a $10 voucher by clicking on the night(s) that you want to attend.  A voucher guarantees your seat and doubles as a $10 discount off your dinner bill (including adult beverages), which makes admission FREE.  How can you beat that???
