## Resource

Tim League, mastermind behind Alamo Drafthouse, is launching Metro Private Cinema — a luxe, intimate movie experience where you and your crew get chef-prepared meals, comfy seating, and a massive screen in a private screening room. Inspired by pandemic-era longing for connection, the concept debuted in League’s Baker School screening room, where guests were emotional just to be together again. Unlike typical theaters, Metro offers a multi-course dining experience, pre-movie cocktail lounges, and even letterpress printing from vintage movie ads. Guests can start the movie whenever they’re ready after dinner, order drinks mid-film, and enjoy a fully curated, social movie night designed for unforgettable moments. The first Austin location opens next year in the historic Baker School. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
