Perhaps, I just don’t get the idea behind it or how coupons work. I understand the manufacturers of goods issue out vouchers to vendors to get consumers to purchase their goods at their store outlets. Everybody wins. But why does the printed voucher have to be a part of this? Does someone at the end of the night actually mail all the vouchers back in to the manufacturer in order to receive the stores rebate check? Honestly? this day in age, they still have to have a printed copy of a receipt before we honor a transaction? When we can go a good long while without using cash for anything. School lunches are paid on an account that is funded over an Application on a website. Paychecks, taxes, rent, utility bills, purchasing a vehicle and streaming entertainment can all be done without one scrap of paper being used by the consumer.

However my local H-E-B grocery store still recommends that I rip off a yellow piece of paper from an aluminium ring and give it to the always friendly cashier before I can save 55 cents on my package of bacon. Why don’t you lower the price? Why not just offer the lower price automatically with an HEB app? Encouraging people that would save money if they signed up and used the app that automatically applied their coupons when they used their Application which could give display ads of deals, save time applying coupons, and free up a ton of man hours printing and stocking those yellow coupons. You could even provide analytics of how much overtime the customer was saving by shopping at HEB. You would even be able to apply receipts to accounts and save by not having to print receipts. Saving a ton of time and resources and progressing to the Future.

I had gotten invited to hangout with a quasi famous, atleast to me bassist that just happens to be in one of my most favorite bands this week, plans got crossed and perhaps another day we will hangout, now that i know he lives in Austin too. I had to pass on Blazer tag to check out the new Jordan Peele movie ‘Us.’ Everyone ive informed ill be seeing this immediately turned green with jealousy. Myself have been waiting to see this one as well. I like everything Ive seen peele do so far, it’s smart and funny. Reminds me of how Tommy Chong was a brillant actor, Chow from the hangover whose a fricken Doctor turned comedian.

The sequel to the sequel

I receved passes and have watched several times Split. Unbreakable had some memories but I only remember certian scenes.

The horror movie screeners usually have an apperance by The Austin Horror Society. Since their last management change attendance in the facebook group has declined in both attendance and enthusiasm. While in line getting our wristbands we were asked if we reserved passes through AHS. We declined and got our own passes through Slyfox.

While we are waiting for the screener to start some of the bigger production movies have extra swag bags when they showed it earlier today at the Alamo Draft house. I’m sure you have to actually be someone to get invited to a screener then. One day at a time. One day at a time. I posted the above on Instagram as a best hope in getting selected for a grab bag. They usually have a tshirt and some other goodies the are worth the post. Only a small handful of times I have over heard someone mentioning something about a movie shirt. In Austin, movies get filmed so conversation went “maybe he’s apart of the crew” does get mistaken. I would never claim credit for work I didn’t help create, however it is cool to be guilty by association on the occasion.

Ok so the contest happened and i didnt win. Whaa. But, my lovely wife did get picked, and got not 1 t-shirt in her size and in the design she wanted, but a 2nd tshirt as well, in the same perfect size. Yaaaaay!

Anyways, the movie was really good. I may need to watch a second time to fully understand the nuainces and nods that m. Night is capable with his ‘twiiists!’. I personally enjoyed seeing Bruce Willis again in his role as a hero. I always saw him as a bit of a father figure. And now seeing him very grey reminds me of time does not escape us. Ececept Bruce Willis will never stop being a bad ass. Like seriously though, every movie, he is the sterotype hero action, bad guy gunna lose that keeps surprizing you. Has anyone thought of him as a batman role?

There isnt a stinger, and may be a fourth eventhough everyone dies, but not their stories.. opps spoiler!
