Kung Fu Panda & The Man Party

Tonight is Steve Wallace's "Man Party." By the name of the party you can guess that it is only for men and their mutual age sons, no women or babies are allowed. He was bummed out that the women seem to have all the nice parties so he planned this party totally from a man's point of view. There are no table cloths, in fact the only table is a ping pong table, no flowers and froo-froo decor. He simply hung a chain saw in a tree, gathered a box of cow chips to throw, found the biggest grill in town and fired it up. Each man brought their "Hunk-o-Meat" to grill and he baked potatoes provided ketchup, cake & ice-cream. Chuck took a ice chest full of root beer and it was party time.
I just got off the phone with Barbara, she stayed to help Steve at his request and they are sitting around laughing and telling stories. She says they are having a great time but doesn't really know what is going on out there as she is staying in the house.
Several of us ladies decided we should do something fun so a group of us converged on Emmett's Frontier Cinema and saw the only show in town, Kung Fu Panda. Jack Black does the voice of the Panda and they also use his facial expressions. He makes the movie absolutely hilarious. Other voices in the movie come from Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Lucy Lui & Jackie Chan. I rate this movie 5 stars as it is entertaining, fast moving, funny with some surpises. It is definitely a buy for your home collection. Below is a picture of the group after the movie.
One funny story that happened at the theater. As I went outside to see if anyone else was coming in and Roy, the theater owner had just come in and said, "Sorry I don't see any more of your group outside. There are just some kids." I opened the door and there was Carol and Mary! They were some of the younger of our group & Mary had her hair in french braids like a young girl might wear, I guess they looked a little teenagerish. I would have relished if a comment like that were directed towards me; rather, I obsessed over the old turtles neck in the movie. I thought it looked like mine with all the bags, wrinkles & sags in all the right places.

Here we all are after the movie, still having a great time. Thanks goes to Steve Wallace for his "Man Party" for a fun filled Friday evening.
