Disney Pixar's new movie "Cars"

Wow! I haven't been able to catch my breath here lately! We've been going non-stop for the past couple of weekends. Memorial Day weekend Austin and I got to go to the world premier of the Disney Pixar movie "Cars." It was at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. I've never been inside the speedway before but WOW! It is so huge! The Coca-Cola 600 was that same weekend, so when a race is happening, the speedway is transformed into a small city. I have never seen so many RVs in all my life. - And license plates from everywhere. So, anyway, we got to see several movie stars including Bonnie Hunt, ("Cheaper by the Dozen" mom) Owen Wilson, and Larry the Cable Guy- "Git R Done!!" When Larry the Cable Guy stepped on stage and said- "Git R Done" the crowd went wild! It was hilarious! He plays the voice of the pick-up truck "Mater" in the movie. We also got to watch a just for fun 12 lap race- of course the "Cars" car won! :) I can see how people like to go to races. Hearing the cars roar around the track is pretty cool. It made me think about how my Papaw would lay beside the radio on Sunday afternoons and listen to the races and end up falling asleep. So, I felt truly southern this Memorial Day weekend. We got to watch a stock car race and listen to country music! There was a country music band that played before the movie. The movie was shown on four 11 story screens. Pretty awesome! I wanted to take some pics inside the speedway, but no cameras were allowed. Well, I might even consider going to a race now, who knows? We didn't get home until 2 a.m. but we had a great time! Charlotte is such a fun city! Oh by the way, the movie was really good!
