Thank you, come again.
As some of you may know, 7-Eleven is transforming some of it's stores into Kwik-E-Marts (from the Simpsons for the uneducated) to promote the new movie coming out later this month. KC was reading about it the other day and found that one of the dozen nationwide locations they have renovated is only but a mile from our home. We decided to check it out. Man, there were so many people taking pictures, getting squishees, buying boxes of Krusty-Os, taking free packing boxes, the O's were shipped in, and purchasing much more Simpson memorabilia. I even overheard a guy say that he was annoyed when they were driving all the way there, but now he was glad they did. That lead me to believe that he had driven quite the distance since there isn't another closer than New York or Florida. It was quite the scene. Security and everything. I'll present you with this slide show of our adventures. If there are any requests for any Simpson keepsakes, let me know and I'll make another trip. Lili, I already thought of you so don't worry. And course, on our way out, we were told my many Kwik-E-Mart employees, including the Indian cashier,"Thank you, come again."

Crazy! KC looks very happy to be there in the pics. Great slide show!
Awesome fun times. Great pictures.
Simpsons? Save me from the Simpsons. I don't suppose I would drive a block out of my way to go to a 7-11/quik-e-mart. But I'm glad you had a nice time. I can't think of anything you need to buy me for a souvenir. But it is quite a testament to the power of the media, good or bad, we shall see.
Oh man, I'm totally going up there. That sounds fun. And yes you would Dad. You'd go out of the way for one of your Simpson fan kids. You'd just name that little smirk that you do when you have to do.
I'm going to check that out.
I can't believe what lenghths people will go to--the visitors and the Simpsons people!
To be honest, I have never watched an episode of the Simpsons (except the one we watched in English in high school). And the little clips I have seen bug. Why is a cartoon about a crude rude family so popular? And please - are we really turning our convienice stores into a themed amusement park? No offence to you personally Em -- just they bug.
Tom and Tyra went, I still have to get down there before it goes back to being a regular 7-11. You got so many more and better pictures than Tom did though!
