Star Wars, opening night
You will never find a more wretched hive of nerds and geekery.
10:20 pm - an hour and 40 minutes before showtime. I've been here since about 9:30, sitting in these comfy theater seats and chatting with Matthew. It certainly is an experience. Mostly chatting about Star Wars related stuff although Heather keeps talking about old Brandeis folks.
11:40 pm - just about showtime. I knuckled under and bought soda and popcorn for $2. I hope my bladder doesn't regret it later. Of course, at least this shouldn't be the marathon that is the Lord of the Rings... Matthew and Heather are taking a pit stop, though. The geekiness just doesn't get any bigger than this, folks.
2:21 am - movie over. Never before seen a line at the mens bathroom without a line at the womens ;) pretty cool flick. Very moody. Girls, avoid moody boys - they might just be dark Sith lords...

As your dad demonstrates, geekiness taken to extremes can morph into coolness ... you are totally hip to the scene, Karl.
What did you think of the score? I hope John Williams didn't disappoint.

Hey Karl - I was just this very moment reading your blog and one of my staff just called saying she has 2 extra tickets to Star Wars for a show in 1/2 hour! Becca and I are going to join her!! Wow - I feel like I'm part of the "in" crowd!!! And I'm OUT of here :)
