We who bring you Fun For A Hamilton tell you to email us things we miss, and today, someone actually did. And we're glad, because in all our perusal of Houston's arts scene, we'd somehow missed this one. Thanks are due to fellow blogger Greg.

The Orange Show is one of Houston's strangest and most endearing art institutions. A folk-art/achitecture environment created from 1956-1979 by the late Jefferson Davis McKissack, a Houston postal worker, the place is a homage to our fave humble, round, un-rhymeable fruit. It's also a significant piece of art and Houston history, and the crowd they get at events is a fun, eclectic one indeed: think Art Car parade meets Montrose denizens meets all of Houston's other quirks.

This Saturday, they'll host Drive-In Movie Night featuring Roger Corman's Death Race 2000, the 1975 cult favorite starring Sylvester Stallone and David Carradine. The price is $10 a carload, and there'll be a prize for the biggest carload of people. The first ten art cars, if you're lucky enough to drive one of those, get in free.

What: The Orange Show's Drive-In Movie Night
Where: The Orange Show, 2402 Munger St.
When: This Saturday, 8-11 pm.
