the famous diddy riese

i went to diddy riese today after dinner with some friends, and while we were there, a big tour bus pulls up and about 30 teens proceed to file out. i looked at the tour bus, and it had a sign on it that said something like, "east-west teen travel experience." for the next 30 minutes, the sidewalk in front of diddy riese was chaos as teens (from, i'm guessing, the east) experienced their west coast, $1.25 ice cream cookie sandwich. if i were their parents, i think i'd want my money back...but, to each his/her own.

also, a few weeks ago, i was dropping something off at campus and passed by the theater where they were setting up for the world premiere of superman returns. saw a lot of superman memorabilia that day. anyways, it was early, but what i noticed was that the line for diddy riese was longer than the line of fans waiting to see the premiere. i actually considered ditching work and seeing if i could get into the premiere...i think i thought about it for 10 seconds before opting for diddy riese instead. just wasn't dressed for it...if i had been wearing my superman shirt that day, i might have gone the other way.
