Hi guys! I just got home, and the phone was ringing, and it was my Techie (he calls himself Copy Boy, I know not why), and he says, "What are you doing Tuesday night at eleven oclock?"
"Sleeping?"
"I'm down at the theatre. You wanna see the Phantom Menace? I'll buy you a ticket."
"Are you going?"
"Yes, stupid."
"What is it?"
"Star Wars? .....STAR WARS??? The PREQUEL??? (Expletive worse than 'stupid'.)"
"Okay."
"Don't get excited. I'll pick you up."
You know what is cool about our little burgh, you wouldn't expect? The theatre owner, is mysteriously connected to Hollywood, this is what I hear, as well as a plethora of Other Stuff. We get all these films when or before everybody else does, premiers, and yada. I know Phantom Menace is not a film, but we get real ones too.
I live here, and I am even cooler, because of this. I mean they're camping out up in Portland. I know that much.
This guy also happens to be our cross dressing Mayor, supported by the Sheriffs Association. I don't think that has anything to do with Hollywood, but he's also quoted in the N.Y. Times on matters as sulty as Y2K. What with my techie already being in The Times, I need to get in there, or fall painfully behind socially. Must put on thinking cap.
Oh. I remember one we I think premiered I really liked ~ The Re-print of Metropolis with the new soundtrack. Awesome. And another, lost in the woods ~ F Is For Fake, which was reel-y interesting. I forget the rest, but trust me, it's enough to make us, and me by extension, cool. Super cool; absolute zero.
Okay, gotta work a bit, and then I'll come back and respond to all my friends, who are also cool by extension.
As they say on the Foster Farms commercials (you guys get those? way) ~ "Is that freezer burn?"
"Curling iron accident." |
