Theater Lobby

 

Plan B was to invert the day.   My body tolerates a half day of Fair activity way better than a whole day.  We had originally planned on leaving the Fair mid-day and going to a movie in the afternoon.  A quick check showed the movie started showing at 11:30 a.m.  Early enough to see the movie first and still have time for the Fair.  This option sounded even better when Stan, Kathy's husband, texted from the bus terminal.  He'd decided to leave as soon as the Fair reopened.  He let her know that the line for the bus snaked out of the terminal area.  Kathy and I drove to my absolute favorite theater - it was built w/ a 'Neptune theme'.  Why anyone would do that in the Northwoods I'm not sure but you buy tickets at a station w/ a Medusa head looking down at you.  Inside you go past larger than life statues of Neptune and Amphitrite flanked by naiads.  We saw Alien: Romulus.  That time of day we had the place to ourselves so sat in the best viewing seats.  Was prepared to be scared witless but the movie didn't seem as frightening or on-the-edge-tense as the other's in the series.  Maybe 'cause I've seen it all before?   Didn't help that I couldn't buy the way the planet's rings were depicted - bothered me each time they were on camera.   After the movie finished, we were off to the bus terminal, jumped on a bus (which wasn't crowded at all in the afternoon), and at last were on our way to the fair.  So far Plan B was going very well.  To be continued ...
