Cowboys and Aliens Premiere

Yesterday I and my young daughter had a fabulous time at the
premiere for ‘ Cowboys and Aliens.’ During the time we were waiting word had
got out that we were stood where a mass collection of autograph hunters were
planning to push forward. Well I was not going to have any of that especially
with Sophia being present.

They had realised that the possibility of Harrison Ford
coming over to us was very lightly because of Sophia. They have got adjusted to
Sophia coming to the premieres now and know she can draw attend to herself very
easily. The plan autograph hunters apply is very clever. They wait at the back
and push forward with several photo’s to sign. Then work their way down the
crowds getting as many autographs as possible on photo’s of the stars. On
chatting to a few of them that are really nice and willing to talk about their
experiences. It was explained that the money made from this premiere for a
Harrison Ford autograph was no joke. Over in America the autographs are run by
gangs it is in league with the selling of drugs. I found this whole
conversation fascinating.

So to be smart I called a security guard over and I made him
aware of the conversation I had overheard. He went and spoke to the other
security and the head.  They put a plan
in place to protect Sophia from being crushed.  

After waiting for what seemed like forever in my daughters
words. We manage to collect the autographs of Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig and
Olivia Wilde. Not only that but they managed to have a little chat with Sophia
which made her day after such a long wait. The autograph hunters were kept in
line although the odd one tried his/her luck, but me and Sophia had a very
pleasant surprise. We were handed tickets to go see the premiere itself. The
security guards had taken a liking to Sophia and presented her with the
tickets. Of cause there was a little jealousy from the others in the crowd so
to keep our tickets safe I told the security guard to hold onto them.

Once the mass rush had moved away I signalled the security
guard who held our tickets. I quizzed which way should we walk to get to the
cinema screening. He opened the gate right in front of us and said ‘Oh no you
come this way.’ You could hear a mass sigh as me and Sophia walked through the
gate. People said congratulations and we passed right by Harrison Ford, Daniel
Craig and Olivia Wilde on the red carpet. Sophia was so excited and so was I
because all we intended on doing was getting a poster at the end, but we had
something better two premier tickets.

When we reached our seats a complimentary bag of popcorn and
a bottle of water was waiting. Sophia was in her element at just getting a bag
of popcorn. After a while The Director and assistants arrived on stage gave a
little speech and soon after the starring cast arrived on a small stage and
said there little bits about the movie.

The movie was really good even though I only saw twenty
minutes of it. Sophia decided the aliens were too scary. So we left after
twenty minutes, but when we reached home she was so excited. She burst into the
living room dashing up to her daddy telling him of that day’s events.  I guess it will remain in conversation for
some time after too.
