More Info

On a Tuesday night, Jaeger, bouncing, and myself gathered outside the Boulder Theater near the Pearl Street mall in the rain, and awaited the opening of the doors. A large and unorderly crowd formed outside the theater, leading me to speculate a possible headline: Memento Riot of 2001 Hits Boulder Colorado.

The three of us got in, got a seat front and center. (In most theaters, being in the absolute front row is undersirable, but the Boulder Theater's distance from the screen makes it the best seat in the house.) The large and lively crowd filled the theater to near capacity. The film started late. All part of the experience.

Seeing this great piece of cinematic work a second time is nearly as mind blowing as the first, but in a different way. Many more of the details foreshadowing what is going to happen (or should I say what did happen) are noticable. Unfortunately, due to short term memory loss, I can't seem to remember what any of those details were right at this moment.

I think I'm going to have to go into another week-long recovery again. Goodnight, world. Will I remember any of this in the morning?
