NEW MOON

Sarah got us tickets to the New Moon premier tonight by making over $100 in purchases at the Nordstroms BP. Thanks Sarah! ( : We didn't have to fight crowds or wait in the crazy long lines that were outside the theatre camped out waiting for their turn...we just had to wear special lanyards (and who doesn't love those) and it was like our key to the magic Twilight kingdom. I will say a few things about Twilight fans:
1. They are nuts.
2. The 3 girls seated to our left (who were clearly older than we were - one of which I'm certain was well into her 50's) were screaming and squealing throughout the show. At one point, they were laughing uncontrollably - more than likely because Jacob's abs were representin' in this movie. Wow. I will say he looked fabulous. Go Taylor Swift.
3. When we were leaving the theatre around 11:30ish, droves of people were camped out in
corrals overcome with enthusiasm for the banner to be released so they could dash for their spot in the theatre. I get the enthusiasm, I do (I was enthused, just ask Scot), but I didn't choose to pay extra for the extra large New Moon collectors cup...I'm not THAT enthused, nor would have been my bladder.
4. The last line of the movie brought out the hugest reaction from all in the theatre (well, with the exception of Sarah and I who spent the next 30 seconds mocking their reaction - come on, you've clearly read the books and know what's coming).

All in all, it was fabulous. We loved it. It was much better than Cats - I'm going to see it again and again. Okay, maybe not again and again, but it was worth quoting old school SNL. It's definitely worth seeing, unless of course you're Scot and then the 2 hours with Twilight fans would be more than he could take. (I do still give him credit for taking me to seen Twilight on our anniversary when it came out - way to take one for the team Scot).

Good job. Matt said he'd wait for the video. :)
