This was the first year in my life i didnt get dressed up for halloween. I was a little bummed as i LOVE costumes. Originally we were supposed to go to NOLA but there was some miscommunication with some friends and it didnt happen this year. Thats ok because i had a GREAT weekend!
We did not plan this AT ALL but it just so happened we had a "throw back" halloween weekend. Since i did a lot of firsts this weekend consider this my October Reviews.....
It started with a nice dinner and Shrek the Musical at the Hobby Center, which that isnt throwback but it was fun. Getting dolled up for that was i guess my Halloween! I hadn tbeen to the Hobby Center in years and i loved it. The show was precious. I just love Shrek!
The next day though we ate at a little diner nearby (very 1950's in there), took a long walk and then I made a cute cookie graveyard equipped with tombstones without names on it. lol afterwards we kept the 1950's thing goin and we drove way out and went to the Showboat Drive in Theater. For $5 a person you get to watch 2 movies. Since my boyfriend has a Honda Element we folded the front seats flat to the backseats and made a big bed, brought a ton of snacks, got some pillows and blankets and watched the double feature. SOOOO many people were there. Most left after the first show though. it was neat though. people were in beds of trucks, had lawn chairs..... and not to mention the weather was PERFECT for it. I could do that every weekend. you can talk and not worry about pissing off the people around you. it was like movie meets camping. I loved it!
On Halloween after some yummy breakfast tacos from a place nearby that i had wanted to check out, i had my first experience at the River Oaks Theater. The last movie of the "Girl with the Dragon tatoo" series was released in America this weekend. Its called " the girl who kicked the hornets nest" It was good. Definitely my least favorite of the trilogy, but it was good. just not the action and suspense like the others. I really enjoyed the 1950's old fashioned theater though. especially because it was clean and there were not any kids!!!!
Well that was the highlights of the weekend and the new places i checked out. i wont bore you with the tv shows we watched and tales of running errands. LOL
Concerning the Shrek musical, did you get the same sense that I did when the lovers quarreled there was a similar emotion in the scene as in Don Quixote when the good Don tried to blame is indiscretions on one of his house servants? I thought the mood of the lighting created a similar feel. Perhaps you can comment on it in tomorrow's post?
