even better the third time
last night went to one of the gems of atlanta, the fox theater, to see episode three. i enjoyed it even more on third viewing. partially b/c it's a great movie, partially b/c of the great atmosphere.
the fox is an amazing place--built like they don't make them anymore. two levels, real red carpet, lots of legroom, real balconies, and a ginormous screen.
as i approached the theater, dads were exlaining to their kids the connection between ROS and ANH. beautiful.
walking into the lobby i saw stars wars costumes everywhere. this is how it was meant to watched! unfortunately i came straight from work and forgot to bring my camera or my han solo replica jacket. shitballz. so no pics from last night. i searched flickr to no avail.
anyway, the fox had apparently hired a crew to wear replica costumes--we're talking the $500 deluxe vader costume--a couple vaders and a bunch of storm troopers patrolled the lobby and took pics with fans.
we caught the the last few songs of the organ sing-along and then the dj from 99x brought up the kids (and some adults) for the amateur costume contest. unsuprisingly, audience applause was loudest for the cute 5 year-old wearing a cape kit from party city. there were some more impressive outfits. props for the padme who showed some skin (end of ep. 2 outfit) and kissed the dj. there was a sixteen year-old future comic book store guy in a very authentic obi-wan outfit who was visibly miffed that he didn't garner more applause. he even did a lightsaber pirouette when he walked on stage. i think i heard him muttering something about it being the worst costume contest ever.
the movie was, of course, awesome.

bro are you serious...what the shit is this?
as much as i love reading in 'webdings' font (seriously, who was that jackass that included that as a standard OS font in the first place?), i really just can't get past the fact that it makes as much sense to me as alien genetic code.
however, i should add that i am dork enough to copy and paste the text to translate the post. essentially, sahil saw episode3 a third time, and was sad that he couldn't enter the costume contest. apparently he's been waiting months for the chance, and he blew it by showing up in a suit and tie. damn damn damn!
i've tried rewriting the post in verdana...it looks fine on my computer but i think it may still be getting messed up for everyone else :(
kenny it looks fine to me! must be that atlanta hashish got you seeing shit again.
(i see webdings too, and i of course copy pasted as well.)
why are we friends with this tool again?
