Simpsons Movie World Premier
Movie tag line: See our family. And feel better about yours.

On July 15th, we learned that Springfield, Vermont had won a national contest to host the world premier of the Simpsons Movie.   Here is a link to all the entries and their short videos proclaiming their Simpsons spirit:

We knew immediately that we must be there.  We entered a lottery for tickets and although we did not win, we were drawn to Springfield for the opening like Homer to donuts. 

We were not disappointed.  The town had really done it up right and Matt Groening and James L. Brooks were there.  Check out the slide show below:

 

 

 

Just for fun, a quick search on the word "hound" on this great Simpsons site (http://www.snpp.com/) revealed these references to the famous Mr. Burns phrase:
