I lead an exciting life. :roll: This is what the result of a single guy, loose on a Friday night in Cedar Rapids, Iowa looks like.
Your opinions and comments are welcomed.....gulp!

Note: The Cinema is the only one I've seen anywhere which serves Beer, Margaritas, and Bloody Mary's at the "adult" section of the snack bar.... makes a bad movie somehow better. Gotta love a 'rita with your jujubees.... :thumbup:

Nice neons Rocco. If the Cinema which you speak of was around here I believe I would see quite a few more flicks!

Love them Rocco.

I didn't realize that the Chophouse was open again. Guess that means that I should head to downtown CR more often.

The beer and 'ritas defintely help a bad movie.

Nice photo opportunities, and sad to say that way too many of todays flicks require the boost of adult beverages in order to make them watchable. I can't decide if the writers and directors need to spend more or less time with a drink in their system to make the movies better. I'll have to do some research.

nice pics rocco....I think the reason most movie houses dont serve booze is that they would have to hire extra help to wake all the folks up at the end.
