Ok, I know its been a long time, but let me tell you, this entry will be worth it.
So last Thursday night, Me, Becca Keys, Ali Crocker, and Becca Rucker went to the Alamo Drafthouse downtown to attend the Saved by the Bell reunion, where we watched four episodes of SBTB and participated in the costume contest.
Ok, So when we read the description about this event it said that there was going to be an early '90s costume contest (that we were going to totally ROCK) and along with your ticket, you also got an "Early 90's Survival Kit" which included, slap bracelets, koosh balls, friendship bracelets, and the famous "Jessie's Keep Awake Caffiene Pills". SWEET, right?
So our plan was to dress up TOTALLY decked out, this is Austin so of course our competition was going to be good. Forget that it had been in the mere teens temperature-wise the night before. I then embark on finding the best freaking costume by rummaging through none other than my mom's closet for her early 90's clothes, and let me just say...
BANK!!!
My outfit was: black cropped leggings, a red mini skirt, and I am not kidding you, the most HIDEOUS black sweater embellished with some seriously huge jewels adn crazy bright colored shapes. Not only did this sweater go down past my butt, but it definitely had shoulderpads. I know. It was incredible.
Becca Keys wore black leggings with a black and white striped mini skirt and on top, wow, another Mrs. Garcia classic, this awful (ly awesome) shirt with shoulderpads and colored in purple, aqua, red, and of course gold. the buttons did a big zig zag across her chest to add effect. hot.
Ali wore black shiny leggings, a jean jacket, and these great black and white striped enormous hoops. she was by far the least dressed up
Then Becca Rucker wore blue shiny leggins, a jean skirt, and another Mrs. Garcia piece that was again, gold, purple, reds, and blues, with shoulder pads. I guess this was just a popular look back then or something. However, when i was DYING laughing at the horrendousness that was my moms clothes she got all offended and said something like "UGH! those clothes were VERY popular in the day and VERY expensive!" well in my opinion, what a waste of money, but they still rule.
So then, the one thing that NO ONE had the balls to wear, GOLD (yes gold), PLEATED (yes pleated), GAUCHO (yes gaucho), FLOOR LENGTH (yes, floor length), PANTS. i mean, really? were those cool? oh they were. Man, were they.
We arrived to alamo drafthouse early so we could get a good seat etc. there were only a few people in front of us when we got there and they werent dressed up but we are like, whatever, you guys are lame...just because its cold doesnt mean that you have to do something crazy, like KEEP WARM! come on. So we get in and seated and this is a huge theatre, probably about 150 people and oh yes, my friend, oh yes,
WE ARE THE ONLY FOUR PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE PLACE DRESSED UP.
we. rule.
Everyone loved us and we ROCKED the costume contest by getting up on stage and dancing to early 90s music (we definitely did "the sprain" lisa style) i mean, what a great experience. drinking beer watching saved by the bell dressed LIKE saved by the bell?! amazing.
what episodes did they show? you are wondering? well, ill tell you.
First we watched "Snow White and the Seven Dorks" where Jessi is snow white and zach is the prince and they have to kiss, and then start thinking that they might like eachother. not only was there that drama but they RAPPED the play. So cheesy and amazing.
Second we watched the "Drinking and Driving" episode where they go to a toga party and zach decides to drive after having like, half a beer, and wrecks lisa's mom's mercedes. Overall it was a really good lesson of not how to act so lame at a party and not to drink and drive. unless you have a friend named tori who knows a crap-load about cars and can help you fix your mistakes (who doesnt, right?) Id also like to note that when they got busted, lisa was wearing a sweater almost EXACTLY like the one I wore to the show.
Third, OF COURSE we watched the "Im So Excited" episode where Jessi takes the caffiene pills. what a classic. Not only is that the episode where they do the cheesiest dance videos in their thonged leotards, but when Jessi was saying the part "not enough time, theres NEVER. ENOUGH. TIME." and the famous "Im so excited! Im so excited! im.....so......SCARED!!!" the ENTIRE audience was singing along and it was so freakin awesome.
Last we watched the "School Song" episode where they all work to give the senior class a new school song as a gift and zach tries to sabatoge everyone elses. but of course they all work together to write a great song and sing it together.
Ahhh.....what a night.
Oh, did I mention I rule? |
