ajooja, the invite did not specifically mention dinner but I was grateful that when I got there, EVERYTHING was free - the servers made it clear we could order anything we wanted, including alcohol. We tried a few new things based on that new intel.

martymankins, as vendor bribes go, this was not only decent but also innovative. Granted, their solutions are probably > $100K on average so it would make sense for them to go all out on the marketing.

Raganator, it WAS a blast!

Avi, yeah, midnight is technically a zero hundred hours, not 2400 hours, so midnight last night is still today. But granted, you got a good 18 hour jump on me. go Avi! Perhaps I should have asked “opening weekend” vs “opening day” because that’s what I really meant.

Michelle, I can’t remember if I saw that movie opening weekend or not but I remember loving it, buying it, and seeing it several times.

sizzle, as I twittered last night, “indy jones movie was very good; shia labuffy the vampire slayer is one of the best actors in hollywood. but BEST part? hancock preview”

But there are movies where I take the whole office to go see on Friday morning. We're doing that for Indy tomorrow, and we did it for Forgetting Sarah Marshall and will be doing it for Batman, too.
