Still Number 1 (Not me... the other thing)

For over a year I've been telling people that my absolute favorite ballroom dance competition had been the Holy Cross Ballroom Dance Competition. This past Saturday was the anniversary of the comp. And, upon return, without question, without a shadow of a doubt, the Holy Cross Ballroom Dance Competition is still my absolute favorite ballroom dance competition.
I love the venue, from its two story windows that over look the ballroom and provide natural light, to the balcony that provides spectators with an excellent view of the floor, to the people who run it. The Holy Cross Ballroom Dance Team is easily among the nicest and most welcoming group that hosts competitions that I've encountered.
And, I'll admit, it doesn't hurt that I traditionally do really well at the comp. 
This year, I placed in three of my six events: Bronze Foxtrot, Tango and Cha-Cha, and made it to semi-finals for Rhumba and Swing. And I looked good doing it too, if I might say so.
It was just really great to come back to my favorite comp and leave equally as happy as I did the year before.
In other news, here's some totally random events. Last night I was waking in Providence and I passed a book store with a book in the window titled, "The Way Of The Belly. What really amused me was that it got me thinking of the book I read back when I was a first year freshman titled, "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior."
Skip ahead to this morning when I'm looking up some info on IMDB.com and I see in the, "Now Playing" area that there is a movie titled, "Peaceful Warrior" which is based on the book I thought of the night before. Listed under its description is a link to get free tickets to the film.
Now, what type of Escapist Reality host would I be if I didn't provide my faithful readers with access to free movies. You can see the trailer and get free tickets to the film at: http://www.thepeacefulwarriormovie.com
The free tickets are only for opening weekend (March 30 - April 1) but are pretty simple to obtain.
It's an interesting marketing strategy. If you don't think people will pay to see the movie based on the trailer, try to get people to pay to see the movie based on word of mouth. After spending $20 bucks on two tickets for a movie last night, I applaud anyone getting me into a movie for free. And as such, as long as I actually do make it to the film this weekend, in compensation, I'll give them some added free press of an Escapist Reality review.
My little way to peacefully help fight for the under underdog.
