but they have those machines ( sort of like ATMS) where you can self ticket so I zip over there get the tickets and we three bustle over to the ticket taker she rips our tickets and directs us to auditorium 2 where we find a movie already in progress

a different movie than the one we just paid $12.50 a head to see

vixmom · « **Reply #91 on:** July 04, 2014, 01:41:54 PM »

so we zip back to the ticket taker who looks at our tickets which indeed state theatre 2 and she uses her walkie talkie to call a a manager

vixmom · « **Reply #92 on:** July 04, 2014, 01:42:19 PM »

who doesn't respond

vixmom · « **Reply #93 on:** July 04, 2014, 01:43:11 PM »

we walk up an down the hallways and check out all the signs movies in progress in all theatres none of them ours

vixmom · « **Reply #94 on:** July 04, 2014, 01:44:05 PM »

finally the ticket taker gets a manager to respond that she will meet us at the guest services counter

vixmom · « **Reply #95 on:** July 04, 2014, 01:44:33 PM »

the time is 11:37

ChasSmith · « **Reply #96 on:** July 04, 2014, 01:45:57 PM »

And???

vixmom · « **Reply #97 on:** July 04, 2014, 01:46:02 PM »

the manager finally shows and we explain that the show is scheduled to start at any moment and no one can find out which auditorium

vixmom · « **Reply #98 on:** July 04, 2014, 01:47:18 PM »

the manager explains about the difference between 11:40 am and the 11:40 PM listed on our ticket stubs

and refunds our money

vixmom · « **Reply #99 on:** July 04, 2014, 01:47:41 PM »

and we take the walk of shame out of the theatre

ChasSmith · « **Reply #100 on:** July 04, 2014, 01:49:01 PM »

Oh. My. God.

As a solace we decided to go to the IHOP where we blatantly disregarded the national holiday and ate eggs Benedict Arnold on English Muffins and drank tea rather than tossing it in the nearest harbor

Just relaxing and watching a motion picture - too damn long, but not without interest.

Great story, Vixmom. Sounds like something I'd do.

Decided to go through some CDs and found a Cybill Shepherd album I don't even remember buying. She sings "Begin the Beguine" on it. I'm scared.

Happy Independence Day!

We went into town and watched a little of the parade from inside of a restaurant. If Keith hadn't ordered iced tea we would have left once we saw the menu. They opened early and had a special breakfast, nothing that I wanted. We figured since it was 11:00, only half an hour before their normal time we could get the eggplant sandwich we usually order. Nope. Instead I had we had lousy Denver omelettes without the ham. Basically it was a very well done egg crepe filled with tons of cheese and a wee bit of veggies.

We walked around and went to the craft fair before coming home.

Jane · « **Reply #112 on:** July 04, 2014, 02:18:25 PM »

We are heading out to our deck to enjoy a beer, for Keith, and hummus & veggies. I'm not sure I'll eat anything right now. I had a peppermint stick ice cream cone in town to get rid of the taste of our brunch & I'm full. I might have some wine or scotch to compliment Keith's beer.

DR VIXMOM the same thing happened to Ricky & Lucy and Fred & Ethel when Lucy got tickets for THE MOST HAPPY FELLA.....and it turns out they were for the matinee and not the evening performance they were trying to attend.

I knew I had heard that story somewhere before.

Still, Vixmom tells a great story!

My son usually comes over on Fridays. It used to be for breakfast, then it turned into lunch. Last week he came at 4 p.m.

We had a really big expense hit us this week, so I decided that rather than spend $30 going for lunch, we'd just finish up the pork loin sandwiches. I boiled up the potatoes (since DR Sandra hadn't needed them for mashed potatoes after her wisdom tooth extraction and they need to be used) and made some potato salad. I found -- (don't read this part, John) -- a cake mix and tub of frosting, -- (OK - you can read again, John) -- and sent my DH to the store for corn on the cob and ice cream.

What's in a Denver omelet?

I really don't want to go to the partay, but I said I would and I guess I'll mosey on over there around four-fifteen, hang out for a little bit and make my exit. I'm not sure I want to eat there - the food is never what I enjoy and I just eat to eat, so I'd rather go have something light but fun elsewhere, I think, or if there's a market open I could just get something to cook.
