Just a quick note.
This afternoon I was sitting around when Kevin posted about the poster
giveaway. Now, immediately I hit myself for not going yesterday to see it
(saw the sneak last week). So, even though I planned on seeing it again
sometime later this week, I played phone tag and got someone to go with me,
and hoped I could possibly find a ticket stub from the previous day in the
theater. Well, all I saw in the theater was old popcorn and dirty cups.
Afterwards I even picked up a flipped-over stub in the parking lot I saw
lying on the ground, and actually tried to look cool when I realized it was
american outlaws and that I'd touched a dirty old piece of paper. And I
drove home, without another ticket, without a poster.
But riding in my car, I strangely didn't feel bad. The concept of the
poster seemed pretty distant. I'd forgotten about it for two hours, and
that felt good. Hell, I'd forgotten about everything. That was a good ride,
when I stopped at stoplights and enjoyed sitting still. When I accelerated
and liked the little bit of kick my car can give.
Thanks Kevin, for not accomplishing what I was expecting, but accomplishing
what was even better.
And for those questioning whether you'll get a poster, well, best of luck,
I know how you feel, Kevin will answer your questions soon. But in my book, I laughed my ass off twice, so who needs one ;).
