Last Cup: Road To World Series Of Beer Pong

As a beer geek, I've become a bit of a craft beer snob and haven't played a beer game since college. However, after witnessing a particularly animated floor beer pong game at local beer writer Lee Nichols's annual holiday beer tasting, I've become intrigued with the sport of competitive beer pong. Our friends at B-Side Entertainment are hosting two special screenings this week of the documentary Last Cup: Road to the World Series of Beer Pong,which chronicles four teams as they make their way to the second annual World Series of Beer Pong.

From the Alamo website:

"Outrageous but true, LAST CUP: ROAD TO THE WORLD SERIES OF BEER PONG chronicles America's wooziest subculture and follows participants as they compete to conquer the fun and frothy sport of competitive beer pong. Beer pong practitioners from across the US meet in Nevada for the second annual World Series of Beer Pong where the team with the sharpest accuracy (and highest tolerance) stands to walk away with $20,000. LAST CUP cuts through the drunken revelry and sets its cameras on four very different teams, culminating in a sobering, nail-biter of a conclusion."

Arrive early to participate in the beer pong tournament, live onstage. These screenings are well-timed, as the fifth annual World Series of Beer Pong will be held in Las Vegas January 1-5, 2010.

And I lied, or call it selective memory -- I'm an easy recruit into the annual South by Southwest versus Austin Chronicle Annual Flip-Cup Challenge.
