Private Function

My friend's, sister-in-law's, brother's, work (follow that?) rented out a theater at Jordan Commons for an early screening of Twilight. We got to go at 7:00 pm the night before it opened. The movie was good, not great. Just like the books. A fun story, but nothing earth-shattering. Plus, they showed a new trailer for Harry Potter 6 before which was awesome. Perhaps the best part of the night though, was watching the hormone-crazed, superfans who were gathering for the midnight showing.

Jordan Commons capitalized on this by throwing a "prom" in one of the hallways, complete with Edward look-a-like (even though he really didn't) food, and decor. It cost $45 dollars to get in. Yeah. Seriously. People (when I say people I mean teenage girls) paid that much for a fake prom in a hallway at a movie theater, on top of the price of their ticket. I mean I love when people go all out, but $45??? in a recession? To each their own. I can't really talk, I was 13 when Titanic came out and I paid to go see it in the theater maybe 7 times. Embarrassing, but like I said, I was 13. I snapped a pick of some of the tweens who went to the prom thing. The best part was how they walked around like they were in the movie or something.

Then we got to pose on the red carpet that they'd laid out for the movie, doing our best "i'm-better-than-you, faces" like the celebs. I still can't get over how much hype there has been for this movie. And I've seen my fair share of midnight showings.

All in all, the movie was good, it had a great soundtrack and the people in our theater were hilarious. That's the best part of a big blockbuster debut, how the crowd gets into it, clapping at the end, or in this case squealing with delight during Edward and Jacob's first scenes in the movie.It was a fantastic night, we even had time to watch the new episode of the Office that Megs had DVR'd. Toby's back! Oh and Here is the new Harry Potter Trailer that I mentioned above. Enjoy!

French Lick

This weekend, my work had it's annual retreat to French Lick, Indiana. It's claim to fame is that it is the birthplace of Larry Bird. Other than that, there's is not much goin on in French Lick except these two gorgeous hotels. They were built in the 1920's and have a major 'Great Gatsby' vibe. They are completely random and are in the middle of no where but it was cool. Here is a picture of me relaxing on a chaise lounge in this HUGE ballroom, it was amazing.


I had to take a picture of these two guys from my work. They just looked like they should be sipping brandy in their smoking jackets discussing business with Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan. Plus, the one on the left, Roy, actually gave me $100 to gamble in the casino. I tried to refuse, but he is loaded and wanted me to have fun, and he is just a nice guy. Needless to say I lost it all in blackjack and roulette but I did have a good time. It's much more fun to gamble with someone else's money.

Our Last Goonie Weekend!

Needless to say, the Goonie costumes were a smash. I was so proud of everyone's costumes, Logan even had a member's only jacket for Mouth (amazing) and Eric's costume was complete with yellow backpack, 007 belt buckle and boxing glove. Everyone did an awesome job! We even had a Sloth-on-a-Stick!


We started the evening off at the U's Halloween party at the Skybox at Gateway (kind of funny for me and Brody as it was a party for singles) but it was fun none the less. Then in true goonies style we went looking for One-Eyed Willie's rich stuff but got distracted by the window displays at Forever 21.


Then we we got hungry so we went to Freaky Dee's for a little sustinance where we people-watched for a good couple of hours. Let me just say that the Dee's on 7th is amazing any weekend night, but it's truly a must on Halloween.


Earlier that week we had carved pumpkins and had a blast as you can see. It was a little tricky because we could only use steak knives to carve....but we made do, and then some. Here are a couple pics. Enjoy!
