Midnight show of Harry Potter last night! Play by play:
9:00 PM- Dinner @ Cafe Adobe. Ate way too much salsa and could then only eat one fajita.
9:45 PM- Took a picture with authentically dressed Harry Potter fans.
10:10 PM- Walked over to theater. Ooohed and aahed at various costuming choices by others.
10:15 PM- Claimed our seats on the back row; theater already 65% full.
10:35 PM- Witnessed great feats of nerdom. Rinse and repeat.
10:40 PM- J bites his lip. It bleeds profusely.
10:43 PM- After brief trip to men's room, bleeding under control.
10:45 PM- J bites lip again. Blood.
10:46 PM- J bites lip again. My sympathy is running thin. I mock him.
11:00 PM- Began watching blooper videos on youtube with my friend's iPhone. Felt twinge of guilt for laughing at clip of man proposing to his girlfriend after popping out of a mascot costume at a professional basketball game. Surprisingly, she said "No."....
11:30 PM- Ladies room break- no breaks allowed once previews start, of course.
11:45 PM- Played trivia with actors dressed as characters from the movie. They handed out posters to enthusiastic fans with correct answers. I secretly got all the answers right in my head.
11:55 PM- Listened while a woman holding an owl (yes a real one) made bad Burger King jokes & discussed the wing span of said owl at length.
11:57 PM- Made an ignorant comment about owls carrying deer in their mouths. Was mocked for roughly 2 minutes. Laughed so hard I cried.
12:01 PM- People still talking about owls. Frantic fanatics get restless- begin chanting for movie to begin.
12:04 PM- PREVIEWS!!! Crowd erupts in applause.
12:25 PM- Crowd cheers, whistles, hollers, yelps in general merriment as the warner brothers logo appears on screen. IT'S HERE.
2:30 AM- Movie over...clapping...eyes so tired...walking to exit...a lot of people...slow...so tired...
2:40 AM- Arrive at car. Collapse into seat. Eye drops.
2:42 AM- Stuck behind dumbest man alive in car.
3:30 AM- At home, in bed. Zzz.
7:30 AM- Most...annoying...sound...ever. Wakey Wakey.
I don't feel sorry for you at all. p.s. was it a REAL owl for REAL!?!?!? I would have passed out being in an enclosed space like a theater with an owl in the room.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it was a REAL owl for REAL!
ReplyDeleteNow, that's commitment to seeing a movie...commitment I have never had. I still haven't seen the last two.
