Alex’s friend, Simon, spent the night here last Thursday so that I could drop them off at the theater to see “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” on opening day.
I kept emphasizing how long the lines were back in my day and tried to insist on dropping them off at the crack of dawn. They finally agreed to wake up in time to get there a measly 1 hour before showtime.
I made them a couple of hot breakfast sandwiches, threw them into an insulated container with a few bottles of water. That way, they’d have something to eat while standing in the 5 mile line full of Star Wars movie-goers.
As we drove up, we didn’t see a single soul around. “Is this the right theater?”, “Is it playing here?”. Then I thought the line must surely be inside the building and told them to rush inside. But wait! I need to take a picture of you guys first 🙂
When they called me to pick them up, they told me that there were zero people in line! So bizarre. I figured it might have been because other kids were still in school while there’s was out, therefore the “lines” would appear as folks got off of work and school. Regardless, I believe I’ve lost my credibility about opening days.
That same evening, we all went out to see a different movie, “Krampas” (horrible, I only did it for the love of my second born which I explain here) and came out of the movie theater to be greeted by this guy:
I love the magic of Star Wars.
