The Indy Adventure

It's taken me a while to tell you about our Indy adventure on May 21st (well, May 22nd, but it was midnight). Chris purchased 10 tickets to the midnight show in Eden Prairie. A few of us got in line at 9:30. We did this so that a) we could secure a spot in line to get some good seats in the theatre and b) because we knew that the Starbuck's in Barnes and Noble would still be open so we could secure some strong coffee. Donovan was among the ticket holders. He and Chris had an enjoyable chat.

Amanda came as well. She and Katie purchased books at B & N rather than coffee. Katie purchased Grimm's Fairy Tales. I'm not sure what Amanda got.

Here we are, waiting for the movie to begin. Aaron and Lexi were there. Ben Pfau arrived just as the lights were dimming and fresh from a Twins game. Chris brought Dots. Lots of Dots. Gotta love the Dots.

And, about the movie. I wanted to like it, so I liked it. So, there.

It had all you could ever want in an Indy movie and then some.

It had bad guys that outnumbered the good guys, strange objects that people are looking for that give them power, monkeys, snakes, big ants, car chases near cliffs, fist fights, nuclear blasts, retro outfits and vehicles, space ships, "Indy" music, Marion Ravenwood, and much more.

Plus, I was with good company when I saw it. So, what's not to like.
