May The Force Be With You

I met this really hot girl the other night after a friend’s really bad play (but you know you’ve go out  to support). We exchanged numbers and she only waited 30 mins to text me (which I still think is an easy way out of actual communication), but I would take it anyway. I had plenty to drink by the time this took place and I was fortunate the text message exchange went so well.

 She asked “where are you going?”
I responded “I am on a diplomatic mission to Alderran” (Star Wars Reference)

Inside my head I was thinking “no way she’s gonna get this reference, I am such a dork”

She quickly responded with “I’m pretty sure Alderran has been blown up, do you have an alternate plan?”

JACKPOT! She knew it all too well and I was surprised to get this from a really hot girl! (She’s a keeper)

So then I went on with a smooth call and invited her to The Star Wars in Concert at The Nokia Theater at L.A. Live! To my surprise she loved the idea and we met for drinks at The Cantina on Tattooine before the show.

It was an awesome event filled with  Stars Wars nerds young and old (self included).

I was overwhelmed with nostalgia and excitement. I am a huge JOHN Williams fan He is the conductor of the musical arrangements for all the Star Wars music (Jaws,E.T. Superman. Jurassic Park etc.). So I knew the quality of the music we were about to hear. I had no idea that the show would be narrated by none other than C3PO himself Anthony Daniels ( “I am C3PO human cyborg relations”).

During the show my new friend told me to stop making Chewbacca noises. My response was “this is the only concert where making Chewie noises is acceptable! Going to see Beethoven at The Bowl and making Chewie noises would not be looked at kindly but at Star Wars the Concert Bring it on!!! Errghhh wawweeeeeelglglglghghglklkl!

So after the amazing Star Wars Symphony Orchestra and Choir I used my Jedi Mind Trick powers and managed to get my own Princess Leia to handle my light saber in the midst of an intergalactic bed-sheet battle to disrupt the peace in her galaxy that was no longer far far away from my rebel forces.

How was your Wednesday night?
