Once again, it’s time for Arnold Day, the annual and wildly popular celebration of all things Schwarzenegger. But, this year they are celebrating a milestone - one decade of celebrating Arnold’s birthday with a 14 hour movie marathon, costumes, quotes, beer/food specials, sponsors, t-shirts, and of course - cake.
Arnold Day started out modestly 10 years ago with two friends, one 19-inch TV, one VCR and many beers at what the two friends still dub the greatest pizza and beer establishment in Orlando, “nay, the world” – Lazy Moon, in Orlando, Florida. As the two college juniors sat around eating slices and watching one Schwarzenegger flick after another, customers, friends and employees came by to stop, watch and toss around epic, Arnold one-liners. By the end of this day, to be remembered as Arnold Day I, seven films were watched and approximately 1,000 lines were quoted, re-quoted, and quoted again. It was a blast.
Speed forward to 2014. The two college-aged guys who started this are well out of school (thankfully) and fully engrained in their local communities with successful businesses and a thriving love for Arnold-based pop culture. Each year, on the weekend of Arnold’s birthday, a celebration is held. As anyone who grew up watching the cult hits made by this man knows, Arnold is a hero. Arnold Day supporters and the proprietors of Lazy Moon invite everyone to join them this year to celebrate a decade in the making of one of the baddest ass of bad ass parties.
