Sounds like a fun meeting. I took my 12 year old to the midnight showing here last night and loved it.
One of my all time favorite scenes is the one in Jaws when Robert Shaw crushes the (steel) beer can in his hand and Richard Dreyfus (sp?) crushes his paper cup in retaliation.
No kidding! I don't do anything that I am trying to hide, so I don't mind the surveillance. Theoretically, and ideologically, I understand the deep flaws in a panopticon system of disciplinary control, but as an everyday practice it does not harm me personally. Except in ways that I have internalized to the point of naturalizing. EEK! Anyway - nerd tangent.
I enjoy discussing my ink as well! I don't want to be touched, unless asked, but talking about them is fun. I've received mostly positive feedback, so that helps. I'm sure the other guy was stoked on the exchange as well!
