What with Austin’s largest annual festival going on and all, ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel decided it’d be good fun to visit Austin and put some heat on a local business, which is awful nice of him. He couldn’t have picked a better spot with Vulcan Video.
What’s better, he brought a friend: Hometown favorite Matthew McConaughey, who engaged in some self-effacing schtick poking fun at his popular-but-easily-parodied Lincoln ads.

Four Words: Free Parking Near Congress
Go rent a video and you probably won’t get towed while you chow down on something tasty around the corner. That’s a good deal when you think about it.
Driving From Far Away To Get A VHS Tape Is Cool
Matt drives 1.6 hours from Round Rock just to get his rental. What’s your excuse?
Where We’re Going This Weekend
It’s the only logical choice.
