Don't EVER go out on September 11th!!
Sep. 12th, 2009 04:10 amA friend and I decided to go to the movies and see 9 yesterday morning. Just as the movie was starting, an alarm and a bunch of flashing lights went of and a voice on the speakers said, "EVACUATE THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY" over and over. I got a little scared once I remembered what the date was (the theater is in a big, popular mall that would make a good potential target). But, thankfully, once we got to the lobby, it became clear that it was probably a false alarm. I guess some stupid kid pulled the fire alarm or used the emergency exit by mistake or something.
Unfortunately, the theater was unable to provide us with refunds or even free passes for next time! So both me and my date spent $9 on a movie we didn't even get to see. We were pretty pissed about not being able to get refunds or free passes; but I suppose we should just be grateful that nothing bad happened.
Anyway, I've learned my lesson. No more going out on September 11th unless its for a necessary reason like work. Its just not worth the risk.
