a*list with tailz

Note: That is -not- at typographical error.
That's how the alien being spells its name.
For real!
All the other aficionados at the special screening would agree with me.
That's Tailz in my hand here.
Actually, it's just the critter's head, designed as a keychain reward for those who came to the "Sonic The Hedgehog 3: Fan Event" at the 3 PM showing in the Big-D room.
I was there early this time, having missed out on the Lego rewards at the Fan Event for "Wicked" a couple of weeks back. 
This time, AMC had plenty of the rewards, with four buckets of the character keychains, allowing patrons to choose which they wanted: Sonic, Tailz, Knuckles, or Shadow.
My first choice was Sonic, but Alicia let me swap him out for the foxy yellow guy with the ability to fly.
As it turns out, Tailz was a perfect fit for me!
He's the nerdy analytical member of the trio formed in the second movie, you see. 
I'm the nerdy analytical member of any trio I'm in, too!
Well, most of the time, but not always!
 
 
Speaking of trio, this upbeat movie, filled with puns and inside jokes, was the perfect one to complete my dance card this week.
"The Order" and "Homestead" were a bit scary, given today's political climate in the USA.
The first one was real and the other was not, but both dealt with homeland terrorists.
Neither are anything I would see again.
But this movie today?
That had everyone there cheering on the good guys?
With everyone laughing at all the silly parts with Dr. Robotnik?
Plus lots of applause as each character entered the story, especially for Stone?
And everyone staying in their seats until the very last credit had rolled so they could see what would be forthcoming in the next adventure?
This was absolutely delightful!
I just may see it again tomorrow!
Meanwhile, I have a new Christmas ornament gracing my tree, right next to Melanie's snowflake and Mama's gingerbread house.
Isn't that smiling yellow face so cheerful?
Right place, right time!
(smile!)

I'd planned to go to the Winter Chorale at SavArtsAcad at 7 PM, but when I stepped out of the house, I was shocked at how much the temperature had dropped.
Glad I didn't have the Post 36 meeting, either, as it was canceled.
So very glad to have had such blessedly warm weather all week!
