Hold Your Horses

DVDanger and Kickstart Your Weekend are taking a break

Not sure if you've heard, but there's a bit of a sizable event rolling into town this month.

We here on Team Screens (the few, the proud, etc.) are up to our collective eyeballs in South by Southwest scheduling and coverage, so we're putting a couple of our weekly columns on hiatus until after the storm has passed.

Richard Whittaker's DVDanger, in which our resident genre expert talks at length about recent releases from the horror and thriller fields, is slated to return Saturday, March 22. Furthermore, Kickstart Your Weekend, in which yours truly throws a little digital ink at a crowdfunding campaign for a local film, TV, or tech project, should be back online Friday, March 21.

We reserve the right to change our minds every eight minutes until those days arrive, but for now, that's the plan. Don't panic. Meanwhile, stay tuned to all our SXSW coverage at austinchronicle.com/sxsw or get microupdates from @ACScreens.
