Here's a sweet piece of American film history: a t-shirt from Al Jo's lounge in Preston, Idaho featuring the Schlitz malt liquor bull.
Where the hell is Preston Idaho?
via wikipedia:
Much of the 2004 film Napoleon Dynamite was shot in the city of Preston, including Preston High School. Several area landmarks can be seen throughout the film. Preston is the home of the film's creators, Jared and Jerusha Hess, Preston being where Jared went to high school.
For several years, the city held a "Napoleon Dynamite Festival" in the summer. There were many movie-themed events such as: Tetherball Tournament, Tater Tot Eating Contest, Moon Boot Dance, Impersonation, Look-A-Like Contest, Football Throwing Contest, and more.
In 2004 there was a single day event that drew about 300 people and raised $1,500 for the Preston School District. In 2005 an estimated 6,000 people attended the event, but that number dropped to an estimated 400 in 2006. The 2007 and 2008 event was held along with the 'That Famous Preston Night Rodeo' in Preston, but there are no future plans for the event.
Do the chickens have large talons?
