Riff Trax and Quality Me Time

Being the big Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan that I am, I decided to buy the tickets to the broadcasted live performance they are doing. So Yesterday I bought tickets set for 8:00 pm around 6:00. I obviously had some time before the performance so I did some wandering around in the shops and what not on Market St. in crowded San Francisco. I decided to Treat myself to a video game. Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare , not remembering the fuck all attitude video games take to sequels because I wanted the more recent Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. So I went to the Movie in a timely fashion only to have it conk out 30 minutes into it. No one from the theater came in to tell us what went wrong, though we knew they knew there was a problem because the projectionist covered the lens blocking the digital cable prompt.

So we sat there (pictured above) for about 15 minutes. before someone came in to tell us it was a snow day and we could all go home. I got my rainy day ticket, no convenience charge, and threw away the bulbils receipt to the video game because hay what can go wrong with a video game? Its video! I go home put in the video disk but no video install happened. I call up the store to ask them what to do and they tell me I have seven days to return or exchange the item.. as long as I had the reseat that I left on the top floor of a mall movie theater trash can.

So, I ran from Pine and Leavenworth all the way to Powel and Market, up 4 flights and across the mall, and start digging amounts the torn up angry tickets of the Riff Trax audience. Go to the store (that luckily close at 10 because I'm leaving the country tomorrow) Exchanged it for the game I wanted in the first place.

What did you do yesterday?
