When Geeks Gather

My daughter and I went to the Pitch Perfect Sing-a-Long at the Loft, and it was awesome. No it was aca-awesome.

 
Going to the movies is fun, not only because of the big screen, but also because of the energy in the room. Everyone experiencing similar feelings at the same time—it ties you together for a brief moment.

 
Now amplify that by bringing us together for a movie we love and have watched several times AND remove the need to be quiet. Cheering when each new character comes on the screen. Saying our favorite lines out loud. And singing as loud as we can to the songs while dancing in our seats. We were a hoard of aca-awesome.

 
We were given props. Some to use, like the toy microphone. Some to throw into the air, fake money and party poppers. I don’t go to a lot of movies, but I do try and make every sing-a-long. The next one is Frozen 🙂

 
Do you have a local indie theater that holds sing-a-longs and other fun events?

    I loved this movie! And I’m a big fan of sing-a-longs. I get that from my dad. I had to hold his hand to keep him from dancing in the aisles when we went to see a live production of Fiddler on the Roof!

    The Loft is the best! One of these days I’m going to make it to the Grease sing-a-long.

    I still fondly remember going to Rocky Horror Picture Show every Saturday night at midnight! My best friend and I dressed up. I dressed up as Columbia.

    Oh, that would be so awesome. We don’t have anything like that here, and with my mobility issues, I couldn’t go anyway, but I can imagine the energy. Wow.

    The props and the like remind me a lot of when theaters do The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Do they still do those? LOL

    I’d love to see the Frozen one. Love that movie.
