Brent treated me to a nice birthday evening yesterday. Martinis at the lovely LJ's Martini Bar (can't wait to go back for Happy Hour) followed by the 7:25p showing of "The Da Vinci Code."
The film has been out for almost two months now so the crowds are starting to thin out a bit. I'd estimate that there were all of twelve people in the theatre when we walked in. Then, just before previews started, a guy walked in who, from a distance, looked very familiar. As he got closer we realized it was our buddy Steve. He joined us and we chatted and had a good time watching the movie (I'd give it 3 stars). Coincidence? Yes. Unusual? In a little city like San Francisco, not really.
Then, when we got home, we ran into our neighbor who was taking out his trash. We mentioned we had just seen "The Da Vinci Code" and he said he and his wife had just got back from the same movie at the same theatre.
Turns out they were sitting four rows in front of us.
I know I said this is a little city. But damn!
