When Menace came out, my mom got tickets. I sort of tricked her, I told her there was no way she could get them for opening day. So she did. 😄
Anyway, it was the midnight screening. It came out right around final time at my school in Wisconsin. I actually had a final that day, and another one the next morning. It is a two hour drive from my school to the theator we went to, and I was SICK AS A DOG!!!!!
But I took that final, took a nap, and drove out and got into line. It was showing on about 3 screens, so the line wrapped around the theator. It was CRAZY. Everyone was decked out in Star Wars gear. There were nerds speculation everthing Star Wars.
My mom and I sort of just sat back and watched, and laughed. One guy was going through the line offering money for tickets. He got to us, and offered us $250 dollars for me and my mother's tickets. I refused. I'm no sell-out, dammit.
I've become long winded. Go to Episode II, Julie. School will be there when you get back.
