Benefit Party: NO NO: A DOCKUMENTARY

Sat, 12 Jun, 2010 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM

40th ANNIVERSARY OF DOCK ELLIS’S LSD NO-HITTER On June 12th, 1970 major league baseball pitcher Dock Ellis threw a no-hitter for the Pittsburgh Pirates. After retiring from professional baseball, and until his death in 2008, Dock maintained he was high on LSD while pitching that day. Now an Austin documentary film, currently in production, will provide the back-story on Dock’s infamous no-hitter, the social context for his exploits, and a forum for his voice. The film, No No: A Dockumentary, uses Dock’s controversial and flamboyant career as a basis to examine America, baseball, civil rights and drug policy over the past 40 years. A celebration of the 40th anniversary of Dock Ellis’s infamous no-hitter will be held at The Highball in Austin from 6-10 PM Saturday June 12th. The event, sponsored by the Austin Film Society, benefits the Center for Independent Documentary, which is the non-profit fiscal sponsor of No No: A Dockumentary, The event will include the premiere of the film’s promotional trailer, and feature music by Le Freak (a side project of Afrofreque) and Flounders Without Eyes. The suggested donation is $15, and the first 50 people through the door get a free commemorative poster.
