yolenHad a date with my sweetie fings last night. We had dinner at Maxwell's in Hoboken (omigod, the tiger shrimp stuffed w.crabmeat & drizzled in champagne sauce was effing DELICIOUS!). Then we hopped on the bus to Times Square to see Pan's Labyrinth, the 8pm show we were vainly trying to get there in time for was sold out anyway, so we got tickets for the 9:40pm show and wandered about Times Square for a bit. I have to say, I don't think I've ever seen Times Square as tourist-free (even factoring in that it was just after 8pm, when the majority of Broadway shows begin) as last night. Obviously, the best time to go is right after the holidays, the worst time of the year to hit the area. You'd think I would have figured that out before now :P. Fifty minutes before the start of the movie we handed in our tickets and saw our friend A. standing in line, ha! It was a nice surprise, we chatted for a bit, and then Fings and I were instructed to go to the end of the line...way down on the other side of the floor, it was crazy! Fortunately once we were allowed in the actual theatre, A. had already staked out some seats for us, cool.
The movie was AMAZING. Violent, sad, beautiful, and amazing. My hat goes off to Guillermo Del Toro for creating this amazing film.
It was a good night :).
