Tonight was the mother fuckin BOMB!

So, today my friend bought us booze for poker night on saturday, which is awesome and he and one of my friends got me 3 forties....excellent. Also, yesterday me and Juan got tickets for the film festival. This was the showing of ::dun dun dun DUN:: Bubba-Hotep!!!! They're playin it a few times this weekend at the theater but we got tickets for the Friday Midnight showing. For those who don't know, Bubba Hotep is Bruce Campbells (Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Brisco County Junior, etc,) latest movie starring him as Elvis in an old age home. So anyways at around 9:45 i went up to my friends room and drank one of the forties, so that was nice, so around 11:15 we went to the theater. We met up with Shiner and Staves whom I had bought tickets for the day before. Shiner was high of course, and Staves was sooooo drunk. So we get into the theater and get seats so i figure im gonna go to the bathroom. On the way back from the restroom shiner and staves are headin out to smoke a cig, and they loudly complain to me about how Bruce Campbell isn't here yet, and this very attractive girl thats about to pass me turns and says "Bruce is here." and i like really? and she tells me that her dad picked him up from the airport today (turns out she is the daughter of the local author whos short story bubba-hotep is based on) so she takes me in and points him out, so i am awe-struck, and i dont even remember if i even said goodbye to her or anything, i just remember being at my seat and pointing him out to juan and bein so excited. So Greg and Staves get back and i point him out and they run up and shake his hand and stuff (i didnt wanna bother the man cause i knew i'd get to meet him at the signing tomorrow) and right after they got back they started the Q&A. So people were askin questions and stuff and he was being really sarcastic and then he's like "ok one last question" and he points to me. So i say "Exactly how big IS your chin?". I know it seemed like a good idea at the time lol. But he responds "It hasn't been measured, it CAN'T be measured". So I'm just happy the man answered me, and i thought it was funny. So then they started the movie... oh man. It was so worth the 7 dollars. It was hilarious. Pure Art. Bruce Campbell at his best. I'm seriously thinking about seeing it again tomorrow. But I digress. So the lights come on and everyone is talkin about how awesome the movie was. So we exit and i pass the girl in the hall that pointed Bruce out to me and she's smilin at me so i smiled back and was like "Thanks".... i know what you're thinkin.... "SMOOOOTH!!" I felt like a jackass, I shoulda talked to her. Anyways we get to the lobby and Joe Lansdale(writer of the short that inspired it and nacogdoches local) and Don Coscarelli(filmographer) are signing merchandise you can buy. So I bought a small poster with Bruce as Elvis and got them to sign it. When Lansdale was signing mine the girl that i keep mentiong tapped him on the shoulder and said "we're goin now, by dad" so thats how i know it was his daughter. But they were both nice and I'm glad i got their autographs. So tomorrow there's gonna be a panel discussion about the movie and Bruce will be at the comic book store signing autographs. Dilemma. I have anArmy of Darkness poster and a small bubba hotep poster....which do i get him to sign? Juan suggested the Army of Darkness poster and i kinda agree, so i'll prolly do that. I dunno it was just great times. I'm also debating seeing the movie again, cause man....I LOVED it. I'm out of stuff to ramble about. Whew, what a night. :D The End :D
