If you are not a Twilight fan then you'll want to stop reading this post right now. And it's also like the longest blog post in history. Sorry.
Anywhoo... another radio win... this time for advanced screening Twilight tickets! Trent's boss actually won the tickets but couldn't go. Lucky us got to see Eclipse on Monday night!
At the theaters I answered some Twilight trivia and won a pen!
But 2 months back I made plans with my BFF Jobeth to camp out and go to the midnight showing. Even though I'd seen the movie already that didn't mean I was missing out on the Twihard mania with Jo! We arrived at 3:30 and were like the 20th people back. It was hot and we were unprepared (thinking we'd be inside) so Trent had to bring us lawn chairs, an umbrella, water bottles, and shorts.
I also brought our portable DVD player to watch Twilight and New Moon in line :)
Jo stocked us up on magazines, pop, and candy!
1 hour down... it's 4:30
2 hours down... it's now 5:30
3rd hour down picture got deleted I think? But now we've survived 4 hours and it's 7:30
Afton's arrival!
5 hours later and the sun is finally set. 8:30
In the fifth hour is when a dad next to us gave his spot to his birthday daughter and her 10 screaming/annoying/singing 13 year olds. They seriously sang "If you're happy and you know it" at the top of their lungs. This is why teachers need the summers off... annoying children!
Soooo then all the news crews that had been there all day brought lifesize cut-outs of Edward and Jacob. We may or may not have been on Fox 4 news. I may or may not of screamed like the 13 year olds while bobbing Jacob up and down in the air. I'd like to think that what happens at AMC 30 stays at AMC 30.
Ashley arrived and we completed our wolfpack for the evening. Yes me and Jobeth are wearing Twilight T-shirts. However, before you roll your eyes and say "Really? How old are we Kala?" they are both Jobeth's and were gifts that she received. We HAD to wear them!
Hour 6... it's 9:30!
Total madness! And we're in the front!!! The line seriously wrapped all the way down the front of the building, around the side, and around the back almost to the dumpsters. I know this because the hubby came back up and did a drive-by to check out all us crazies.
Protestors even came out, what?! These kids were anti-Twilight, pro-Harry Potter. I say why can't you be both? I am!
Hour 7... 10:30... still outside. Seriously? We have the biggest/best theater and out of the 17 theaters that were doing midnight showings 0urs was the last to be let in. Of freakin' course.
YES!!!! We made it inside to the comforts of our comfy leather chairs :)
8th hour, 11:30... the movie finally came on around 12:15 and was just as good the second time around. I'm willing to go see it a third time for anyone who hasn't gone yet... and Jo's in too :) Now I know most people think Jo and I are certifiably insane for doing this and camping out all day. But we're all about having "life-experiences" ;) and we can now take this one off our bucket list. And hey, we're both teachers, what else do we have to do on summer break?
