I figured, "What the hell", and let him sleep on the bench through three showings of the film much to the bewilderment of the other guests. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Now this was a bit odd for a college age male at an amusement park. But I really had no choice. I also slept through Steveie Ray Vaughn who was opening for Jeff Beck. My Ex kept say, wake up, everyone thinks your passed out drunk. And I hadn't had a drop to drink. The wierd thing was I was up and alert for Jeff Beck and then drove the 3 hours home after the show.

Not only did I make a bundle on it, but now I own a small amount so I don't care what it does.

Originally Posted By smedley I always think the theatre on main street (behind the photo shop I think?) where they play the cartoons is an excellent spot, especially as it's often very quiet in there, of course I am going back to 2007 when I was last there

Brother left a bottle at bobbelee9's, I saw it on the counter a few days ago! <<My financial 'advisor' is telling me $10, so we're all in the same 'hood>> We bought after 9/11 it hit about $13, so I'm still OK.
