The craze, the hype, the place to be. I just never got it.
It's summer in South Carolina. I'm standing in a parking lot, with three kids and I'm
waiting in line.
It all started in New York, upstate, not the city. It was a family trip to Myrtle Beach
in South carolina. Grandma and grandpa are in the lead, my wife's sister, then my family
forming a caravan of three cars. Two days on the road and seven hundred miles at a sedate
and safe 60 miles per hour. Down the wide open highway, grandma leading the way.
Freedom! Afternoon of day two, we're at the condo. Full size fridge, stove, a balcony- and seperate rooms! With three kids along, ages 2,3, and 5, there was energy to spare for
beachly delights.
"The pool!", "the beach!", "the beach bar!". Gender and age shouted their priorities. Activity ensues, unpacking, the room wars, the pottie breaks. I breathe a sigh of relief.
"I want to go out to eat", says grandma. The bedlam subsides, half naked kids stand
with suits in hand, my brother-in-law and I have fading visions of bikini clad bar maids.
Grandpa is stone-faced, he knows the outcome.
So here we stand, waitng. It's summer, I'm in a parking lot in Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina. Waiting online for a goddamn Planet Hollywood "experience".
"It's the best, my friends told me about it, everyone goes when they're here", says
grandma. Yippee, seven hundred miles from home, three pissed off kids missing the beach,
two unhappy son-in-laws, a grumpy but quiet grandpa, and one happy grandma who bought into
the hype and craze that I just never got.

Not to mention it is (or was) owned by Arnold Alphabet, Bruce Willis and Sly Stallone.
So the menu consisted of muscles, ham, and slow speaking Italian vegetables.
