Ever see "Sleeper"?

&t=46s

At about the 1:45 mark, replace the name "Albert Shanker" with our current lunatic and it kind of gives you an idea as to what we're in for if we don't stand up NOW. I'm in Las Vegas...hope to see you this Saturday.
(And yes, A VW will ALWAYS start.)

Didn't we all? Woody Allen is one brilliant screen writer.
And that was one BIG chicken.

We would have been 9 and 10 at the time, and our mom was kind of using the movies as a babysitter. We'd go to the theater and then sit through all the showings.

Also, quite a bit of that movie was filmed in our home town of Boulder.

They also did a lot of the filming at NCAR, which was brand new at the time and very futuristic looking.

used is located in Genesee CO, which is just a short drive from Boulder, but there's another one that's actually in Boulder that's the one I remember seeing.

This article has lots of info and pictures.
