I've never been to an ODDBALL FILMS movie night before, but this screening is pretty tempting. Their press release, stolen from Mission Loc@l:
The Obsession With Things That Go
Event: “Hot Wheels!” Guest curator Pete Gowdy and Oddball Films present an evening of rare 16mm films about things that go- cars, bikes, skateboards, soapbox cars and more. Featured films include Roller Skate Safely (1981), early 80s quads in action; Dust Eaters (1955), “dust eaters”, “grease monkeys” and the “birds” they race- wild souped-up jalopies!; Tough On Two Wheels (1955), awesome British bikes in action!; The Bike Parade (1938), vintage bicycle bonanza; Skateboarding to Safety, skateboarding in all its 1970s glory; Motor Mania (1950), mild-mannered Goofy goes berserk when he gets behind the wheel; Automania 2000 (1963), Oscar-nominated animation from the brilliant Halas & Batchelor Studio and much more!

This place is great. Bring your camera, you’ll enjoy shooting the film canisters that stretch to the ceiling, old projectors, etc. Don’t forget to bring some beer.
