So if anyone wants to get together Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, say something!  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

The only barbecue I got was the sauce at Chick-fil-A. Day one, Stop one, Grapevine Texas: We passed this one in Lewisville: We found this one looking for a theater in a mall in Hurst: In front of an old AMC-turned-Bally's Fitness in Irving. I don't know why they're parked two wide. Apparently, Scott found the drive-thru irresistible. Day Two, Arlington: There's a new AMC in a mall in Arlington. It's above an ice skating rink. It's also near the Hagen-Dazs.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-26-2003 09:26 PM                     Wait, there's more! Day Three: Chick-fil-A is closed on Sunday. Some Southern Baptist thing. We fasted today. Day Four: Abilene. Day Five: Odessa. Scott managed to get a theater manager to take him to Chick-fil-A. I was spared, as I was in Big Spring doing research. And I had the camera. However, there is a Chick-fil-A in the DFW airport, which we stopped at between flights. And after we ate, Scott decided that he wanted some for the three hour flight back to California. Scott says that Chick-fil-A is life-giving. My colon has another opinion. This can't be a healthy obsession. Oh, yeah. We also stopped at a few theaters. 125 to be exact. We took 807 photos. I'll be busy sorting for a while.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-26-2003 10:46 PM                        You gotta be kidding! With all the great food to try and local places to eat at in Texas, you guys ate nothing but chain-store food??? Unbelievable! Scott, you been countin' too many cups lately???  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-27-2003 02:08 AM                     Scott, did your mother ever tell you that you are going to turn into a chick-fil-a? I see an evil Pepsi tower in the last picture. At the locations I frequent, they are all Coke. What's up with that? An airport thing? Chick-fil-a and Pepsi?  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-27-2003 03:13 AM                     I'm pretty sure that I had a Mountain Dew at the one in Grapevine. Or maybe it was a Coke. I really don't remember. I really don't care.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 03-27-2003 08:25 AM                        Urgent Message to Adam and Scott I have Notified Cordell Walker Texas Ranger that you are in the State to take picture of fast food restaurants and theatres. He has informed me that he is only aware of a screening room in Rockwell Texas, that he is staking out. He said if you visit this site do not let the owner know that you know who he is. He is going to pretend that he is a bookie, I mean booker to get in to see a screening. He want to make sure that the blond guy from Colorado does not try to sneak into the screening. Remember while you are driving in Texas it's ok to doo 110 on the highways provided you have a loaded gun in the rack on your rear window.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-27-2003 01:19 PM                     Oh, we found the screening room alright. That occurred after I got to rub up against the server Cinematour is on. I enjoyed the complete collection of Cinemark policy trailers because I had never seen most of them before. Scott enjoyed them because ... um ... I guess it must have been all the Chick-fil-A. The gun rack explains Scott's speeding ticket from his last trip to Texas. We'll have to figure out a way to check that in our baggage on the next trip. You're coming with us on the next trip, right Bob? If we get pulled over while I'm driving a rental car that I'm not supposed to be driving, you can share your Maartini with the state trooper.  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-27-2003 01:53 PM                     Just don't make too much noise and wake me up over here.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-27-2003 07:09 PM                     Hey Joe, remember that reel? (I was almost murdered that night by Joe.) Scott I'll dig out my collections of other theater policies next time you are in town. There aren't too many people who appreciate old policies like you do.  |  IP: Logged
