We've always loved the Ford - great atmosphere, fun to picnic before with friends. Margaret Cho's performance was pretty good. The first half was particularly entertaining, although it started to feel a bit long toward the end.

Description

July 13 at 8:30pm -- The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas Sing-Along 
(USA, 1982, 114 mins) (In English)
Directed By: Colin Higgins  
Scr: Larry L. King, Peter Masterson & Colin Higgins

Get ready for “one small thrill” after another as Outfest travels to the Lone Star state for one unforgettable night with Miss Mona and the girls! Dolly Parton stars as the proprietor of the most tuneful house of ill repute in musical comedy history, but not even her especially close relationship with local sheriff (Burt Reynolds) can save her business when a nosy TV reporter (Dom DeLuise) starts kicking up a fuss. Featuring great songs like “I Will Always Love You” and “Hard Candy Christmas,” this beloved musical promises a wild night of hootin' and a-hollerin'.

July 14 at 8:30pm -- Documentary Centerpiece: Hit So Hard
(USA, 2011, 101 mins) (In English)
Directed ByP. David Ebersole  
Scr: P. David Ebersole & Todd Hughes  

Patty Schemel
, the hard hitting drummer of Courtney Love's seminal rock band Hole, is not only a master of the sticks, but a true survivor. After growing up as an outsider near Seattle she shot to stardom in the early 90's, engulfed by the music scene. She documented her life as a rock star - at band practice, on the road, backstage and in front of millions of people. She captured rare, precious moments behind the scenes with Hole and Kurt Cobain and the intense highs and lows of these dynamic relationships often shaped by drug abuse and an addiction that consumed her and almost killed her.

Director P. David Ebersole has masterfully woven Patty's videos with contemporary interviews of Patty, her bandmates (including Love, Melissa Auf der Maur and Eric Erlandson) and other important figures in Patty’s life to craft a story that is as beautiful and inspirational as it is a significant cultural record. 

July 16 at 8:30pm: Cho Dependent
(USA, 2011, 86 mins) (In English)
Directed By: Lorene Machado    

Miss Margaret Cho is back, and she has a few things she'd like to share with you. From her hilarious recounting of her backstage feud with the Palins during Dancing with the Stars to musical interludes featuring Cho's witty original songs, this new concert film from our favorite all-American girl will have you howling from beginning to end. (You'll also never look at the American Idol contestants the same way again, but you'll just have to hear Margaret explain that one.)
