To celebrate the US premiere of Ron Mann's newest flick "Know Your Mushrooms", Mann and the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema have literally cooked up a tasty treat for audiences . 

Calling it "The Electric Kool-Aid Mushroom Test", the Alamo will serve up slices of pizza topped with freshly picked wild mushrooms. The cultish director of "Grass" is also handing out kool-aid while playing music by the Flaming Lips. 

Wait, what kind of mushrooms are those again? 

Details : "Know Your Mushrooms" screens Friday 13th, 930pm
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema 320 E 6th St. 

Experience the film, then walk (if you can) to the opening party!
