A very late night of ‘Sex’
I suppose I should have expected a scene, but I wasn’t quite prepared for what I got when I attempted to see “Sex and the City” on opening night. Here’s what I spotted at my sold-out 12:30 a.m. Saturday screening at the AMC Loews 600 North Michigan: 1. Barely in the theater door, a young party dress-wearing girl with tear-streaked face announces that her friend got kicked out of the theater. (Too many cosmos at the pre-party perhaps?) 2. Up the escalators to the theater: Gaggles of girls in full hair and make-up are wearing high heels and their best new summer party dresses. Didn’t expect to see any tiaras—but I did. 3. I’m surprised at how diverse the crowd is. Sure, there are your young, stereotypical female SATC fans, but I also spotted large groups of guys and co-ed crews. 4. Time for my pre-screening bathroom break. Vomit on the toilets?! I had to check my ticket stub to make sure this wasn’t a frat house. 5. The crowd gets restless when the show doesn’t start on time. Gals in front of us start doing the wave. Seriously. Insert more cheering, hooting, hollering and chanting here. 6. When the lights finally go down it’s close to 1 a.m., and we go straight into the feature film—no previews. (Was the theater staff nervous about delaying the main event any longer?) 7. When Carrie Bradshaw introduces the characters in an opening monologue, most of the crowd shrieks and claps in support of Samantha, resident hussy. Young women applauding the promiscuous nature of a single woman pushing 50—moms everywhere must be proud. 8. It was a long night—I didn’t hit the sack until nearly 4 a.m.—but I was totally satisfied by “Sex.”

LEGOS for life!
There’s little else that sends into a spiral of regression than, say, the smell of Play-Doh or the sight of a colorful pile of LEGO blocks. If you can slip out of work tomorrow to run over to Embassy Suites Lakefront (511 N. Columbus Drive), you’ll find more than 75 (completely grown-up) contestants competing in a LEGO Build-Off, ongoing from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The lucky winner scores a full-time gig as a model builder for the company at their new LEGOLAND Discovery Centre, slated to open in late July in Schaumburg. There’s been a LEGO Store in Schaumburg’s Woodfield Mall for years, but this place will be a bonafide indoor theme park, with a cafe, store, exhibits from master builders and plenty of rides for rugrats–and will reside right across the street in the Streets of Woodfield complex. As for that model builder gig, we wanted to know what kind of salary comes along with playing with LEGOs all day, every day — but LDC attractions manager Mike Pastor tells us it’s to be determined, and commensurate with experience. Break out your LEGO resumes, people!
