This weekend we are going to watch Serenity one last time. The Captain’s theater in Santa Ana is the only theater in the country to show Serenity continuously since opening day.

We are going to meet at Pat and Oscar’s beforehand for fun and food (thanks for the address Cathy). We’ll be there at 6 PM. P&O is very casual, and you won’t have to order food to show up and hang out (but the food is really good). We will most likely park at the theater and walk to the restaurant. We’ll leave the restaurant a little after 8 and walk back to the theater for the 9 PM showing. This is the only time it’s showing each day.

The restaurant and theater info has been added to the calendar, but both addresses are included below. Those who eat at the restaurant please leave a little room. It would be nice for each of us to buy something from the concession stand at the theater. They are holding the movie just for our group (thanks go to Dawn for this), and we can say thank you this way.

I was under the impression they were stopping showings of the BDM at that theater this thursday. I was planning on going tonight and thursday. I'd LOVE to go to any shindig available. Great plan, assuming I'm wrong (which is quite possible).

They were originally going to stop, but one of our group members called them and asked if they would extend it. They agreed since we told them at least 20 of us were planning to be there on the 4th.

Don't let that stop you from going during the week though. Every little bit will help say thank you to the theater and manager for playing the movie for so long.

If you haven't already, join our Yahoo group for info and updates on the shindig this week. And for all the upcoming shindigs in the future.

I joined, and I'll definately be there. I'm gonna try to go as often as possible. I only saw it once on the big screen, so I'm more than a little excited about going back after now having seen the whole series.

By the way, I joined there as "June." It's an old nickname still attatched to my yahoo account from some time ago, but it works.

This perplexes me, because we were told by someone down there on the Browncoats boards recently that he likely was going to extend it at least through Feb 9 anyway.

Meanwhile, be sure to get pictures and post them to

http://www.flickr.com/groups/cantstoptheserenity/

which is part of Can't Stop The Serenity, where I've been tracking continuing Serenity showings, and shortly will be announcing the specifics needed for people to go out and organize charity benefit screenings this year.

You're probably speaking with the same person who helped set up the whole shindig. I'm pretty sure it is playing until the 9th since they run movies from Friday-Thursday. We just picked the 4th for our last big viewing of the movie as a group.

Well, what I meant was the whole "we got him to extend it" thing smells a little off to me, since earlier reports from someone who talked to the theater said that an extension through the 9th was pretty much a given anyway.
