This past weekend was really great! Friday was pretty low key, so we did it up right on Saturday and Sunday.
We did something a little different on Saturday afternoon/evening. Our friend Zac found tickets to this thing called "Mystery Science Theater", so we went with him. One of my favorite things about Zac is that I am constantly surprised by things that he is interested in. One day he will want to learn to play the keyboard and the next he'll get a coo-coo clock tattooed on his arm. Mystery Science Theater is just another example of his lovable randomness.
The whole premise of this thing is pretty complex, but here's the jist: a guy and his two robot friends sit with you in a movie theatre and make funny comments during an old horror movie. Austin and I were a little skeptical about this whole thing, but it ended up being really funny! It was also a very cool experience because the movie theatre we went to was actually the place where Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested after he shot JFK. That's a big chunk of history right there!
After the show, we headed out for some food. We settled on a little bar on lower Greenville (that's a street in Dallas), and I had the pulled pork with sweet potato fries. Yum Yum!
Sunday was also full of adventure! We started the day off with lunch at a place called Union Bear. I had the chicken salad sandwich. Delish. It was a GORGEOUS day outside. We actually sat on the patio! In January! I loved it.
After lunch was all gobbled up, we went on a brewery tour! For whatever reason, it's becoming quite the trend in Dallas to open a brewery. We're definitley not complaining because these tours cost about $10-$15 each and they usually come with (at least) 3 free beers, a glass, and weekend entertainment.

I hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend!! It's already humpday, so we are steadily approaching another one :)
Mystery Science Theater 3000 was a tv show! They used to play it on Comedy Central. I would watch it very confusedly while my older brother cracked up. Once I got a little older I could see the humor and not just weirdness of it. How neat that they do a live version of it now! And in that theater! I'm obsessed with all things JFK right now, so I'm very jealous. Looks like a fantabulous weekend!*
ReplyDeleteOk, I guess I didn't explain that very well. They basically just showed us one of the old videos on the big movie screen, and one of the original cast members was there and gave a little presentation at the end. It would be awesome if they really did it live!
Deletethat was a great picture we took.
