This is a continuation from an earlier thread, but if you haven't responded to that one, we want to know what you think! (It's also cross posted on the U boards.)

Currently, there are no midnight shows scheduled that I have been able to find. However, I'm more than happy to orchestrate plans to try and get one set up somewhere if that's what people want. But, if they want to go opening night in any case, there's no point in stressing it.

The current theatre of choice is Harkins Bricktown because of it's central location in the state, and because it has the super big screen with the fancy speakers behind it for our wonderful special effects from Zoic and the new music.

Since we're Browncoats, we'll take this decision to the people.

So, Okies, what do you want?

I would love to see a midnight showing (so I can go back the next night lol) however why don't we take all our energy and make the opening night a huge sucess.

I'm liking the Bricktown idea. Opening night. I'm sure we can find a great place to hang out afterwards.

Wonder, if there's a big enough group if we get any media coverage? I got a friend who used to work at the WB.

Yeah? That'd be nifty. NPR announces community events, if we wanted to go to the trouble of writing up a press release we might be able to get it on their calendar of events and see about adding it to the Gazette too. I don't know Tulsa papers or anything, but those are both metro area outlets?

Okay, I had a brainstorm last night. Most people seem to be leaning towards opening night/afternoon. And this is good because we know it'll be showing. And, as WarKnight and ThatWeirdGirl have noted, opening nights tend to get more press. How about this?

Folks who want to go to an earlier afternoon showing can all get together (I'll probably be in this bunch) and meet at the theatre at the specified time. Then, after the BDM, we go to get a late lunch (the BBQ place, wherever's nearby that we pick in advance). That way, people who're going to come to the movie after work can meet up with us there and hang out before they go see it, and then go on into the theatre for the second round of movies. Who knows, some of you might want to go to both shows.

The way I see it, this gives us the get together time, but lets people who need earlier or later showtimes go to either one or both.

How's that sound?

Hiya everybody. We've had a suggestion on the U board to try and organize a state wide comic book shop promo day. If anybody else is interested, go ahead and hop over there for discussion on that thread.

Former Okie here. Just moved to Kansas. I've yet to meet any other Browncoats in person and would love to attend anything that was arranged afternoon or evening.

Do you want to come back down for something? Or are you looking for more Kansas folks to do something with up there?
