In 1996, Wes Anderson made his directorial debut with the feature film Bottle Rocket. A large majority of the movie took place at the Windmill Inn in Hillsboro, Texas.
Due to the economic downturn the motel's business suffered, thus the Save The Bottle Rocket Motel event was born and became reality in July of 2011.

An estimated 250 fans took part in last year's festivities, which included a showing of the film (courtesy of Alamo Drafthouse), the attendance of none other than potential getaway driver himself, Robert Musgrave, and the sale of a limited edition Mondo poster.

On July 21st 2012 the magic will happen again, as the 2nd Annual Lovely Soiree.

If you love Bottle Rocket, Wes Anderson, or just film in general, please donate whatever you can to help keep this iconic location open to fans and travelers for years to come.

The attached video is an excellent summation of last year's events, put together by the wonderful guys at Kung Fu Jack Knife.
