My boyfriend won tickets from the radio to a sneak preview to The Matrix II. It will be at this new Alamo Draft House at the mall. It’s like a restaurant at the theater! Very cool. We’ve been once already, at the free matinee they gave away to promote their grand opening last Saturday. We ordered a bucket of beer, and watched Anger Management! They have waiters who come down and take your order for food and beverages. It’s a great concept. I’ve heard they have them in Austin already. Anybody else heard of this format? ---

Yes, theres one in Seattle called The Cinema Grill. Sounds like the exact same thing. BTW, I hate you 🙂 (for getting to see the Matrix a day early) ---

Shortly all the Matrix haters will probably come along to trash the movie. Screw 'em. The first one was great and I’m sure Re-loaded will kick ass as well. Let us know what you think! (Without spoiling, of course.) I still have been avoiding Time magazine just in case. 😉 ---

Sneak preview? Around here, there’s a regular showing at 10:00 PM, that they’re just selling ordinary tickets to. And no, I’m not going yet. If it’s good, then it’ll be just as good a few weeks from now, and if it’s bad, then I’ll have a chance to be warned.
