By Popular Demand, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 4K Restoration – Nov. 27
On November 27 imagine it is 1971, and journalist Raoul Duke barrels toward Las Vegas—accompanied by a trunkful of contraband and his slightly unhinged Samoan attorney, Dr. Gonzo—to cover a motorcycle race. What should be a cut-and-dried journalistic assignment quickly descends into a feverish psychedelic odyssey. Director Terry Gilliam and an all-star cast, headlined by Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro, show no mercy in bringing Hunter S. Thompson’s excoriating dissection of the American way of life to the screen, creating a film both hilarious and savage.

Free Live Music with Electric Church in Segue – Nov. 27
Electric Church is a sizzling mix of swampy, electrified blues, soul and funk that will keep Sgue grooving on Nov. 27 beginning at 8 p.m. The band has a rare combination of two dynamic front men with Craig Morgan’s face melting guitar solos in the vein of John Mayer and Jimi Hendrix alongside Dave Tatlock’s B3 organ and gritty gospel/soul singing.
