I Got "Carried" Away ...

Last night, my best friend and I joined the thousands of women across America that went to the opening night of "Sex and the City".



We had gone for dinner at The Outback first, each having 3 Sydney Cosmos, then went to the movie theater. The 8 o'clock showing was sold out, so we purchased our tickets for the 10:35 one. (Whomever decided it was a good idea to show the mother of all chick-flicks on only one screen is a total dumbass) We killed a couple of hours at Barnes & Noble, then ventured back to the theater. Despite being almost 30 minutes early, there were no parking spots, and when we finally got inside, the lobby was packed with ladies in pumps and cocktail dresses. We waited in there for about 15 or 20 minutes before they opened the doors and let people in.
About 90% of the seats were full when we got in, so we ended up on the 6th row on the end. It wasn't terrible, but not the optimal viewing area. If you want to see the movie, a few words of warning: it lasts about 2 and a half hours and if you are at all uncomfortable watching graphic sexual scenes with 150 other women, you might wanna wait for the dvd. And men... there is enough of the aforementioned sex to make this a viable option for date night.
I won't give anything away by giving details of the storyline, but I will say that I loved this movie so much that I am going again next weekend!!
