The Ziegfeld theatre has been showing old Bond movies the ... http://www.shawndo.com/2008/04/29/forgot-about-the-freezer It sounds familiar, but I didn't remember.  Shannon and Ryan have their birthdays within a week of each other.  They both turned 30 this year, and they organized a party down in Houston.  I took a week and visited Houston.
