A Gnome By Any Other Name - Giveaway

Tonight I was fortunate enough to have a night off the whole Mama thing and go to the movies with Aunty Penny and Lani & Boo from Me & Boo and see Gnomeo & Juliet!

A classic love story re-told Gnome style. I have not laughed so much in ages! It was so adorable, I loved every minute of it (even the beginning bit of ads because it gave me time to adjust to the 3D glasses).

My favourite character was Featherstone (the flamingo), followed closely by Nannette (the frog) - I've always tended to like supporting actors over the big stars, and these guys cracked me up.

There were plenty of jokes for adults (as evidenced by Aunty Penny cacking herself the entire time) and was exciting enough for kids (as evidenced by Boo sitting through the entire thing and shushing Aunty Penny hehe). There's even a wicked soundtrack by Elton John that will have you grooving along in your seat.

When the movie finished my little posse even clapped because we enjoyed it so much.

On our way out to the toilet (cos that's what you do after a movie) we had a moment that just proves everyone in this tiny little city knows each other. It was like six degrees of Kevin Bacon in blog form. There was a chick standing in the foyer, looking like she was waiting for someone... she looked really familiar... but I wasn't sure...

There was that moment when you do the 'should I, shouldn't I' dance in your head. If you say hello and it's not them, well it's pretty embarrassing. But I figured I'd already embarrassed myself so much earlier in the day that this, in comparison, would be like water off a duck's back. So I asked...

"Um, are you Jody? From BM-I Don't Care?"

She didn't even have to answer, I could tell from the look on her face. I'm pretty sure her thoughts at that moment were "Who the eff are you, woman?" but it came out as "Ahh, yes?".

I knew it! I'd only seen a proper photo of her earlier that day (avatar pics don't count!) because she's doing a guest post for me soon. 

It was followed by introductions, laughs, photos and a lot of mutterings of "what are the odds?" Three Perth bloggers, in the same cinema.

Anyway, where was I?

Ah yes, the awesome movie. But more importantly, the giveaway! I have TWO in season double passes to give away.
