Xanga Memories - Movie Blackout

As a Christmas present, I lined up babysitting with my mom and dad (really had to twist their arms to get them to do it - sarcasm) and took Janelle out to her choice of movie and dinner. She chose "I Am Legend" (loves Will Smith) and Hacienda. We headed to Showplace 16 in South Bend. Upon arrival, we were met with a sign on the door letting us know they were without power.
We had to head over to Cinemark 14 in Mishawaka.

This little adventure reminded me of another little adventure I had at Showplace in December 2005, which brings us to todays XANGA MEMORY!

DECEMBER 8, 2005 Xanga Entry:

Weirdest thing happened today. As you may or may not know, I enjoy going to movies during the day on may day off (which is Thursday). Today I decided to go and see Rent. It was about halfway in, and I was sitting there thinking, "Man, I wasted my money on this one." I usually enjoy musicals, but I was just very unimpressed.

So, just as I'm thinking this, the power goes out in the theater. I'm sitting in a theater, pitch black, with two ladies about three rows in front of me. So I go out in the lobby to find out what's up. There was only about 40 customers in the entire building. They said that Electric company was working on the lines in front of the theater, and all the power was out. They gave me a free pass to come back anytime to any movie I choose. So, now I'm going to go to the Chronicles of Narnia for free!
