Talk about spontaneity. Yesterday mum sent me a link to the Disney Parks Blog, where a private party of... ya know, let me just cut and paste some of the tastier morsels from the blog post:
Blah blah blah.... on October 28, 2010, for 3000 people at ElecTRONica... blah blah blah.. okay, highlights!
3,000 people will have free access to Disney California Adventure park at 4 p.m. and exclusive access to an after-hours ElecTRONica experience from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. on October 28. (The Park closes at 8 p.m. on October 28, and ElecTRONica normally runs on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays each week).
Opportunity to come decked out in your best TRON or TRON-inspired costume at this special event.
Signing opportunity with screenwriters for TRON: Legacy; Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz.
Opportunity to view select props and concept art from TRON: Legacy.
Commemorative Flynns Arcade coin made just for attendees of this meet-up.
SO. While this post had me convulsing into fits of "OMG OMG WANTS TO GO TO THERE", here's some more information on just what elecTRONica is, private party aside...
Enter ElecTRONica and emerge digitized. Journey under the Recognizer and get swept into The Grid, where a live D.J. spins techno and dance music. You can:
Check out TRON: Legacy 3D Sneak Peek.
Watch Sirens groove to the beats of Daft Punk and others, while digitally projected
Lightcycles zoom around you.
Face off with enemies and allies at Flynn's Arcade.
Try incandescent concoctions at the End of the Line bar.
Be amazed by an eclectic array of street performers, including laser and martial artists.
So all of that said, to sum up my situation in a nut shell... Jonathan and I have 7 days to get our costumes done. Is it possible? Yes. I think.
I also have 7 days to somehow obtain the tight bum I was hoping I'd magically acquire between now and the release of TRON in December. I'm pretty much back to Phase One of the South Beach Diet. But regardless of the mad costume rush, the super dieting and the worrying about every tiny detail under the sun, I miss Disney so very intensely, and this trip - party or no - has got me as giddy as a little kid. Anyhoo. I'm off to school now!
Worrying is a bad habit of mine.
