A long time ago, in a decade far, far away.....

Wow. It was 30 years ago this past week that George Lucas' Star Wars was first released. 30 years. I saw it the first night it opened in New Orleans (Lakeside Cinema, at the Lakeside Mall in Metairie.) I had just graduated high school and was sans a girlfriend, so me and some buddies went. We saw the ad in the paper and thought, "hmm, that looks interesting". I don't know why, but I saved the ticket stub from that night. Still have it. (OK, I do know why - deep down I'm a sentimental nerd. Sue me.)
