North Carolina lost a great one today.

North Carolina lost a great one today.
When Leo and I went to see Titanic, we were kind of bored with the story so about an hour in we started pounding on our armrests, whispering "Sink the boat!"
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Today I learned that Tommy Tutone was a band and not a silly stage name for an individual artist. I am SHOOK.

I have recognized that little fills me with rage as much as a professional who, in 2025, still does not know how Zoom works.

Man, you gotta love a company whose automated phone tree sends you to the wrong department when you tell it what you need help with, then sends you back to the automated phone tree when well-meaning customer service folks in that dept. attempt to transfer you to the right place.

Krispy Kreme trucks have several signs on them that say "No cash on board, just fresh donuts," which does not make it any less likely that I will try to rob the truck and may, in fact, increase the likelihood
