We took the kids to see "The Incredibles" yesterday at the Riverside Theatre downtown. The previous night we watched all the various trailers and movie clips online, and were stoked for the real deal. When we got there, the 12:30 matinée was sold out, but we got tickets for the 2:00 showing. The parking garage next to the theatre was interesting. We'd been in there before several times before, but this time we were convinced that the tiny, yellow 1941 vintage car (I forget the make and model) on the fifth level by the elevators kept changing. (It didn't really, but each time we walked or drove by it, each of us noticed something different about it, something that we hadn't seen before.) We saw the Donnelly's walking around the garage several times as we drove around and around and around, up and down the various floors looking for any open spots to park. Anyway, the film was awesome, and we recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

The floor of the theater is another interesting phenomenon. It seems to attract items (not just food), but then hides them. During the course of the movie, Jared managed to loose three (3) binkies to the blackhole that is the floor. Search as we tried, we couldn't find a single one of them. Every time I picked up what I swear looked just like a binkie in the darkness, it was a candy wrapper, half-eaten hotdog, or a used napkin. Gross!
