As promised earlier today, here are the first two member profiles as we highlight some of those who have made Spout the great place it is over the course of 2008 (and even before that). As promised, each one of these members will receive a copy of Yule-A-Go-Go on DVD for them to snuggle up to in ways we don’t need to hear about.

Most Unusual Place You’ve Ever Watched a Movie: I’m not sure the most unusual place I’ve watched a movie, but one of the most unusual experiences I had watching a movie was when a couple of my friends and I went to see Happy, Texas when it first came out.  I personally wanted to see Bringing Out the Dead, but that movie was chosen and our fates were sealed.  Without going into too much detail I will say that when we first walked into the theater we were the only ones there.  And by the middle of the movie one of my friends was writhing around on the ground in just his underwear, covered in Mountain Dew, while angry old biker in leather was cussing him out.

I’m excessively honored to be chosen as a featured profile!  I LOVE SPOUT!!!

Most Unusual Place You’ve Ever Watched a Movie: The strangest place I’ve ever watched a movie has to be at the Glendale Drive-in. A friend and I used to know where the hole in the fence was. We would sneak in and find a family that was watching something we wanted to see and sit on the parking block next to thier car so we could just pretend that we were with them. Also, I watch about one movie a week on my laptop in a hotel room in Nogales, AZ (border town) which is just a strange place to find yourself in.

Merry Christmas!
