the discovery: part two |
|
|
this is actually what happened last friday.
1: We tried to see Strangers With Candy at the Grande again, but it failed us. Why do you do that Grande? I thought you'd be the place to go for these things? You've got that kickass entry way where my voice echos off the celing really loudly. We had to go to Carusel instead. That was your decision, Grande. YOUR DECISION.
We needed grub, we knew which way lead to the low-end housing/ no eatiers, so we went that way. We turned around and came back. We went the other way.
And it was amazing.
Tons of shit I didn't even know existed in North Carolina, let alone reletively close to where we live. I saw a fucking COMIC BOOK STORE. There's only one other in NC that i know of, back in Raleigh. All sorts of diners too, the 24 hour kind; ones i wish were within walking distance of where i live, not half a fucking hour down a country highway. But still, good to know they're there. There was a Krispy Kreme too, and that's all you need to know right there. And, AND, more than two(2) mom&pop computer stores and more than two(2) mom&pop looking GAME stoers. so FUCK EB Games. This place was a treasure trove of awesomeness. I have since designated it "The Strip" since it was all on one strech of highway. I really want to drive down it, well, ride in the car while somebody else is driving, while stoned. Me stoned, not the driver, cause there road goes crazy in one place and there's too much pretty neon lights all over the place and if i were driving stoned with that going on, I'd fucking die.
2.This was the best, i mean the BEST fucking part. I'm tired of using italic tags, so i'll just shout shit instad of emphasising it like i want to. The theater, the Carusel, had a fucking hidden room. For serious, it was like finding an Easter Egg. You know, like back when you played Wolfinstine 3D and you ran along everywall spamming the space bar until you found a secret? That's what this was like.
2.a.The Hidden Concession Stand.
Since Strangers with Candy is so, non popular, it was pushed into one of the cinema's back in the corner. Well, back in the corner was also pused a little mini concession stand. That alone I thougt was pretty cool, but then I glimpsed the cappacino machine. I was like, *double take* "a fucking cappacino machine?!? kick ass!" And, while I was getting one, even better, they sold beer. Oh man how long I've waited to find a movie theater that sold alcohol. Why don't they all, seriously? You sell beer at sporting events, why not the movies. People are always lound in them anyways, at least in all the ones we go to. Might as well be drunk to legitimize it. But now I have, and it is good.
2.b.The Hidden Cinema.
Okay, this is hard to express in words, how awesome the actual theater we sat in was, but, well, here's an idea of the cinaplex itself. It's kina old, around ten years I'd guess, and really tacky. When we saw Pirates there, the walkway to the seats was like a little tunnel of love, with big white Christmas tree lights arching up the walls and onto the arched celing.
But the little theater in the back corner? nothing short of Amazing. I walked down an averave, non Xmas-tree lighted hallway, got to the end, and just gazed in wide wonder at the joy I had found. It was like making friends with a Hollywood movie producer and getting a personal invite to his screening room. Because there were only 3 rows of seats, maybe 10 seats wide, and the screen was a quater the size of any other theater i've been it. It was personal, private and cozy and i got really excited about it. My friends got really excited about it.
Then a couple of emo chicks wondered in and ruined everything. Fucking emos. They just do that, don't they?
That's what happened last friday.
