For Colored Girls - Our Adventure

Sherry and I met up for a little shopping and dinner at the Century City Plaza. Around 11:00 p.m. we walked into the movie theater to validate our parking tickets.The ticket collector seemed a bit interested in Sherry as he stopped to talk to her. I think it was her smile! The next thing that I know we were being escorted to For Colored Girls movie that was starting in a few minutes! Talk about on the spur of the moment and unexpected.  

As for a movie review, we'll save that for later. We enjoyed the movie and was thankful to Mr. Ticket Collector for escorting us for a complimentary movie. Sherry and I left the movie theater and proceeded to leave the parking structure in our separate cars. We pulled up to the parking gate a little after each other and I gave the ticket to the attendant. The next words that I heard were, " that will be 21 dollars!" hmmm....yeah right! I had $5.00 on me that I borrowed from Sherry to pay for parking. I told him that's all I have, he accepted it. After the gate lifted, I pulled just a little ahead. Then I looked at my daughter and said, " let's see Sherry's reaction". The next thing we heard was this high pitched voice  that said, "What... 21 dollars, I never heard of that before!" Yeah, that was Sherry... she also paid $5.00 to exit!

We wanted to provide the telephone numbers and websites below, as a result from watching the movie. If you or anyone that you know need information about  HIV and Aids, domestic abuse, teen pregnancy, and sexual assault crimes these organizations are here to assist you.
