Last night Mary Beth and I went to see
Sahara at the theater in Hickory Creek. Just like always, I missed the exit, so we had to go all around Robin Hood's barn to get to it. By the time you see the theater you've already passed the exit you should have taken, and MapQuest has never heard of the street this theater claims to be on, so I can't look up the exit ahead of time. Of course, I could write it down or make some effort to remember it or something, but where's the fun in that? We finally did get to the theater, and immediately noticed the man, woman, two small children, and TENT set up right in front of the doors. Yes, they're camping out for
Star Wars. I know this because I asked the lady at the snack bar. I would have asked the people in the tent, but I was afraid I'd instead end up asking them something like, "Have you had your brains replaced with rat droppings?" I knew people camped out for
Star Wars, but...in Hickory Creek, Texas? Also, people with small children? Isn't that something geeks who live in their parents' basements do? Is it even *necessary* to camp out for
Star Wars in Hickory Creek, Texas? I've been hung up on these camping
Star Wars people ever since.
