It Might Get Loud is a documentary starring Jimmy Page, the Edge and Jack White, talking about the history of the electric guitar. It's also directed by Davis Guggenheim, who won an Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth. So, yeah, it sounds pretty cool.
It opens in just seven theaters nationwide tomorrow (it'll gradually roll out across the country in the next two months), but luckily, one is the Edwards University Town Center 6, across the street from UC Irvine. To mark this occasion, the theater's planned a number of events and contests tying in to the movie's release. Check 'em out after the jump, straight from their press release (which is to say, their words, not mine).
