“Listen to me, you stupid bint. This gem is everything I came back to Sunnydale for, which has witnessed some truly spectacular kickings of my ass. Now, when I have the gem, they’ll all die, don’t worry. But until then, stay inside. And by the way, I would be insanely happy if I heard bugger all about sodding France.” – Buffy the Vampire Slayer

We went to the Twilight DVD release party at Hot Topic last night. Unfortunately the “party” totally sucked and we didn’t even get our DVD. I know a lot of people there were pissed to because like us we assumed we could drop in anytime between 10-1 and pick up the DVD, but you couldn’t actually buy it until 12:01 AM. I wasn’t really shocked by that but they really had us confused because they had signs saying if you don’t want the party just your DVD to stand in line A, and if you want the “party” then line B. Well we got in A hoping to get in and out as quick as possible (even though only so many people are allowed in because of the smaller store) but they just meant come in and shop and then go wait out in the rest of the closed off mall to let the next group in. And I didn’t really expect a grand party at all I know it’s just a marketing word, I expected people in shirts and things and chatting, but there wasn’t much talk going on so much as serious quiet waiting! Too intense for their own good!

What made us upset was we really wanted to go the movies before hand but figured we wouldn’t and just go to the DVD release and go watch it. If we had known that we could have ate dinner, caught a film and gone and it would have been all perfect. I’m sorry but waiting around for a DVD for two + hours was crazy! There was nothing to do but wait, I know at some stores they played scenes and features and did trivia but ours was basically a line and you got to shop at Hot Topic; what you could do on any day basically. It’s not like it was the theatrical release or something, it was just the DVD and all. (And I’ve already watched rips, heh!) But not even this was the actual problem really, like I said we would have made other plans instead of just waiting (getting the movie 3 minutes before someone else didn’t really interest since it would have been too late tow watch, we just thought it would be fun to come home and watch it that night, especially if you could get it early like right around 10:15 PM when we got there). But what made us mad and resulted in us just leaving early (although we only had 45 mins left to wait) was the cashier was extremely rude and thought we were fussing at here when in reality we saw it was just a misunderstanding and while we were disappointed we weren’t taking it out on her at all, but she got super defensive right away and was very rude so we just said forget it. We were sleepy and wouldn’t have even been able to watch it I mean. Thankfully I didn’t pre-order mine so I suppose I have nothing to complain about haha, I’m merely just ranting for Summer. I want the Target 3-Disc but there is no since in buying it before I go and all since I won’t have time to watch it.
