A whole day with out a post? Mein Scott, Wagnarock!! What has been keeping you busy for nearly 36 hours?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
If you all are aware of the Seattle Metro area you probably know about AMC's Pacific Place 11 theater. It's on 6th and Pike, one block after the Metro Tunnel exit. On the very top floor of this haute couture mall you will find the theater. It boasts 11 screens on two floors, two concession stands, and outdated arcade machines.
Each theater is outfitted with a LED display above the door that says exactly when each screen is going to start the movie.
Which makes it inanely easy to theater skip(read: pay for one movie, stay for three on The Man). This is a blog to help you maximize the experience.
This is what I like to call....
Got A Day Off?
1. Wake up early enough to get a serious breakfast. You'll need it to keep up the energy before theater nachos and popcorn start looking like extra annexes on the pyramid.
2. Arrive at Pac Place 11 before noon. Make sure you have stocked your carry-all with an extra t-shirt, a sack lunch, and Sour Patch Kids.
3. Get tickets to a movie that most likely has been out for a few weeks or absolutely the biggest blockbuster that is out. Action, drama, most likely PG-13. This will ensure placement you on the top floor for your movie(s). The moneymakers get put in the ginormous screens flanking the second floor.
3a. The top floor is imperative. Upstairs concession stand doesn't open up till, I'm guessing, 5pm on weekdays. Less eyes are no eyes at a minimum wage job.
4. After purchasing your ticket make sure you're aware of the movies playing on the first floor. Spend a buck on Time Crisis 4 or something. This will help you decide bottom floor movies later.
Note: The aforementioned extra shirt is for if you think people are getting suspicious of your all-day movie bonanza, prepare yourself to switch up your wardrobe a little bit. Archie is here to help you too.
Enjoy. Tips for theater skips. Stay tuned for the next Got A Day Off?entry, and hopefully don't get theatrical blueballs. Thanks Urbby-D!

I don't condone the use of "theatrical blueballs", however. The term was created by a Juggalo. Don't ask me how I know these things.
