2 for the price of 1


I live in Willow Grove, and there is pretty much nothing ever to do. It is always a debate as to what to do, without having to drive a half hour and use ten dollars in gas. We usually wind up going to the movies, because that is pretty much the only night-life Willow Grove possesses. I strategically pick Tuesday to go to the movies because that is when Regal Warrington Crossing Theater has their free popcorn night when you present your Regal club card. Those evil con-artists get you on the drinks though. That is okay though because I get my girlfriend to bring her grandmom purse and fill it with drinks and munchies. I loove when the movie hits a silent moment, and I open my can of soda and the sound of the can opening echoes throughout the theater. I just chuckle to myself everytime.

Before I go to the movies I check online for their showtimes. I like going around 7:00pm after I eat dinner. I pick a movie and see how long it runs for and add 15 minutes for previews. Since the cost to see a movie was raised to $10 for adult, I see two movies for the price of one. So I scroll down the page and find another attracting movie that begins when my first movie ends. If the showtimes don't cooperate, I pick better showtimes so that it works.
The hard part is whenyour first movie lets out. You have to search for what theater your next movie is in, without looking suspicious. So what you do is send the gf to the bathroom and walk around whistling looking for your next movie. Even after you do that you can't go into the movie. You see, minimum people go to the movies at 9pm on a tuesday night. So if no one buys tickets to that showtime, they wont play the movie. So if you take a seat in that theater with no ticket, and you are the only ones, and when the cleaning crew comes in, you're screwed and you better have your Nike's on. To prevent this, I usually schedule the later movie to be a more popular one that people are more likely to go to. I wait outside the second movie until someone else goes in. That way I know someone bought tickets to the show and I'm in the clear. Unless they are pulling the same stunt I am. Then you sit back, relax and crack another soda open just as the movie begins to play.

Willy G


I'd figure I'd kick this blog off about what I will be blogging about. I used to live in Philly, but recently moved to Willow Grove. That's how I came up with the name for this blog. The kid part comes from work, where they call me "The Kid." I decided to make this blog because I have always wanted to write a blog about something. I thought the concept of blogging was ineteresting. What realllly motivated me to start this blog up, was when I read in the paper that people could make money from advertising on their blogs using google adsense. I researched it, it looked easy so I'm gonna give it a try. I figure if I can make money by writing about junk I like to write about, than that's awesome. But back to the blog. I know the Philadelphia area pretty well and decided to blog about what's in and what's out in this town. I'm gonna blog about anything, restaurants, places to visit, shops in town, attractions, movies, current events, local news, anything. I may relate to personal experiences at times, things i see on the street, things that piss me off, things that make me laugh, drinking binges, you name it. I have a partner in crime(BillyBill) who started his blog the same time I did. You can check out his blog linked on my site. HE'S THE MAN.
