Yeah I saw that news item earlier today... I think a short "Simpsons" run is in order!

It's only happening during July, so we better move fast...

Oh yeah! Someone posted pictures from a Kwik-E-Mart in California.

Love the Jasper trapped in the freezer decal! Can't wait for the movie!

The U.S. locations where a 7-Eleven store was transformed into a "Simpsons" Kwik-E-Mart are New York City; Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; Denver, Colorado; Burbank, California; Los Angeles, California; Henderson, Nevada; Orlando, Florida; Mountain View, California; Seattle, Washington; and Bladensburg, Maryland.

Whoops, look like I got beat to it!

How many people are planning on going to Bengies? And can't we go that Sat? I actually DON'T have to work!

My brother/sis in law/neices will be in town starting that weekend, but they will probably be all asleep

It's in a bad part of town. But the parking lot will hold at least 20 MINIs. Signs say, "20min parking all others will be executed" lol

4199 Kenilworth Avenue
Bladensburg, MD 20710

I'm game for any of those days.

What if we go see the Kwik-E-Mart and then motor to see the movie? Such as on 7/29/07. Hopefully they will still have Simpson stuff that day. When we went on Tuesday they were selling through Simpson stuff like it was going out of style.

We are still interested. Someone take the lead, set it up and decide when to go. I'm not going to make all the decisions for events! Plus I just had minor surgery, so I don't count.. vicodin...
