Saturday night was a blast! Actually, the day was pretty fun, too.
At noon, we toodled over to Michelle's and Nick (not Nik, but Nick) ran a Call of Cthulhu game that featured, essentially, zombies. Actually, a bit more like invasion of the body snatchers than true zombies, but what the heck.
Then that evening we (Marla, Nik, myself, Tall Matt, and Susan) went out to Pioneer Farm to settle in for a George Romero marathon.
The farm itself is only about ten minutes from our house, which was a blessing. The original venue was to be half hour drive or more.
By 6:30 we were sitting under out umbrellas avoiding the sun, while playing the classic version of "Give Me the Brain". George Romero was there signing stuff, and he kept signing stuff until midnight, at least! Lots of enthusiasm for the man, lots of people in a long line.
At about 9:30 (or maybe 10:00), George did some Q&A with the audience. That was fun. And then we watched some GODAWFUL '70s movie trailers.
Finally, we got Night of the Living Dead on the screen. Then The Crazies. Then Creepshow.
Nik and I left then, at about 3:00am, missing the Day of the Dead showing.
This was an outdoor event, part of the Alamo Drafthouse Roadshows. They have an enormous (30' high?) inflatable movie screen. Yup. Inflatable. Movie screen. It's cool!
The long and short of it, though, is that I'm a bit woozy today. Not exactly focused on work.
