Holly and I went to the Drafthouse South Lamar last night, which is connected to Mondo Tees, to see Paranormal Activity. I'll talk more about that movie over at NILBLOG. We got there super duper early because this movie sold out like 6 showings instantly and has some major buzz, so getting there early makes sure we get a good seating spot. It also means I have time to wander over to Mondo Tees to have a little looksie.
In my last post on Mondo Tees I talked about how much cool shit they have. In person, they have even more! Unfortunate for me, the Antichrist poster I loved so much was super sold out. I did chat it up a bit with the guy working there (I can't remember his name, I'm terrible with names), but he was a super cool guy. He showed me a copy of that Antichrist poster (not for sale) but so I could see all the little details I couldn't in the online version. But then he took it away. Later, talking to Holly about it, I had to force myself to feel myself to feel better by telling her "What if I paid the money to buy and frame the movie, see, the movie, and it sucks ass?" (God I hope not).
But I did see the variant Troll 2 poster I wanted, and was talking to the guy about it. I showed him my last blog post about Mondo Tees, and after laughing about "I Love You, I Hate You", he did let me know that the copy of the Troll poster that he had out was the last one left. He said it normally is 50 bucks, but he would sell it to me for 30. I checked my cash, and barely was under the amount, so out came my debit card. So yes, I now have the last Troll 2 variant (although it is still listed for sale on the site for some reason). But yeah, I spent about 33 bucks on my card, not cash. The only reason I even had my card is because you need it to show the Alamo people when you buy your tickets online.
DAMN YOU MONDO TEES!!!
But check this shit out. He also showed me this bad-ass poster all the Fantastic Fest attendees got for free. But then you put on 3D glasses and the badass-ness of the poster triples! Yeah, an awesome giant monster poster in 3-D! And he threw one of those in for free! Thank you, man.last one. That was like a fuck fifty. Two tolls on the trip to the Alamo and back. That was 1.50, with the remaining fifty cents going to the Graceland bucket. Then another ten-ish for food and drink during the movies, Come on, it was past midnight when the movie started and I'm freakin 35! I can't do these midnight movies so much anymore. Hell, I almost fell asleep during one of the most freaky moments of the movie, and the only reason my eyes shot open was the gasps/yelps/freaked out cries of the crowd. But then I'm sure eating those fat nachos didn't help with my sleepiness.
Amount spent: I'm not even going to bother counting right now.
And since it's sunday, GO GIANTS!!!
