GAH.
Missouri sucks.
Thiefjehat, you say Chicago was ALREADY sold out? WOW. Just...WOW.
At least we know the Browncoats will show Universal that we care.

Yea Chicago is sold out. I've been doing some math in these past 10 minutes after I stopped fuming about missing my window and this is what I concluded.
My post was time stamped at 4:39. This translates to 9:39am Indianapolis time. (same as chicago time currently)
Haken started this thread at 21:25. This translates into 2:25am Indianapolis/Chicago Time. Another site indicates Joss made his inital announcement at 2-ish AM Indiana time.
Looking above on the tread I see that Oxyopia posted at 2:35(7:35am) that Chicago was open. At 4:14 (9:14am) we were informed that chicago had closed.
So the translation of all that data is this: At 2:00am the call went out that the advance viewing was available but most of us were sleeping since it's a work week. Then at 8:00am browncoats across Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin arrived at their places of employment to find in their e-mail boxes the message from Joss kindly forwarded by the offical Serenity Movie site. They(and I) stopped everything they(I) were doing and rushed to get tickets. In my case the door closed on me...RIGHT...as I was calling. What is even more frustrating to me is that I actually came to work early today but had an issue that took 90 minutes to resolve. I missed my chance in those 90 minutes.
It's frustrating but also bittersweet because I know that a full theater of browncoats will prove the worth of Firefly to Universal. Joss said himself in his post that he and others might secret themselves into the showings to watch the fanfare, though I doubt Chicago will garner attention. I would suspect California first then perhaps Boston. I just finished attending the Star Wars Convention here in Indianapolis this past weekend where about 1500 people dressed in all sorts of great great costumes. I wonder if anyone could create good looking firefly costumes for May the 5th? To see the rabid fanfare that Star Wars got last weekend placed on Firefly, now THAT would impress Universal. For those of you seeing the movie May the 5th in either California or Boston, now is your greatest chance to strike a personal victory for us all because the people of power will be seceretly watching.
For the rest of you reading this that got tickets as well, I'm with you in spirit. On Sept 30 I'll see you on the other side.
Do not fear me. Ours is a peaceful race, and we must live in harmony.

Nothing good ever comes to Cleveland. Its the damn Hellmouth (which is either under Browns Stadium or City Hall).
Shame though, theres no city in America thats more Browncoated then Cleveland. We're home of the Browns for God's sake.

well if Universal is monitoring this then they must be stunned, at least I am!
I can't believe that the tickets for an entire theater could have sold out completely in just a few hours (is it a very small venue?).
And I guess a meet up for dinner is out,
we'll all be lining up trying to jockey for a good seat! LOL
I am thrilled to be going with a packed house of true Browncoats!

Embers,
I would have loved to meetup with true fans in Chicago. My wife and I would have done it too!

Any chance they only sold a select amount of the tickets and more will go on sale the day of at the box office?
Ebay?
Scalpers?
Black Market Organ Steelers?

Thank goodness Boston sold out. Now I won't have to worry about ruining my marriage. Thursday night at 10pm - can't bring the kids they are too little for the movie, but too big to not know whats going on and sleep through it. No sitter will work that late on a Thurdsay. If I try and leave my wife with the kids and go see it myself my wife would likely prove that she can kill me with her brain - or a sharp object.
