I am so excited! Tonight I will be in Austin to attend The Birds Feast at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. For those who don’t know what the hell the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is, here are the details: “The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is Austin’s only independently owned and operated movie theater. We serve a full menu of dinner and drinks to your seat while you watch the movie. The theater is laid out like a traditional movie theater, except every other row of seats has been replaced with a long narrow table for your food and drinks. Those who have never been to the Alamo may worry about disruptions during the movie, but we have devised an ordering system that minimizes interaction during the film, allowing you to order, eat and enjoy the movie with minimal distraction. We have

waiters that serve you at your seat; orders before the movie begins are taken in the traditional way. Once the movie starts if you need anything at all, there is paper and pencils at the table, write down what you need on the paper, stand the paper up on the card holder attached to the table. This acts as a flag, your waiter will only come by if he sees the card, otherwise he will stay out of your way so you can enjoy the film.”

Here is the menu for my big scary birdy evening….

Get ready for Halloween with one of Alfred Hitchcock’s scariest fright-fests, THE BIRDS, and one of Master Chef John Bullington’s most creative menus. While you watch the community of Bodega Bay under siege by every type of bird imaginable, you’ll be eating every type of bird imaginable, deliciously prepared and with full wine courses.

On a trip to the store, Sammy fell in love with this bike and just had to have it!

Then Daddy won three stuffed animals from the claw game on the way out (never failed once)!

Sammy digs the blue one the best.

Here’s a short video from my camera (no sound):

I had an old skirt that didn’t fit and a skull shirt from the toddler section, so I made a new purse:

I’m making a purse for my sister-in-laws b-day (its a LATE gift!) but there’s lots of hand-sewing involved. I can’t wait to post its because its already lookin’ really cute.
