If we could just beat the theater's record for a midnight movie it would be wacky fun.

If you can use it, I'm willing to donate a Serenity DVD to the treasure chest. It's a previously viewed Hollywood Video copy, but it's complete with one of the alternate DVD covers created by "11th hour", so you might say it's a Special Edition used DVD. Shiny!

Yes. Because I must work Sunday, Friday night is better for me. So far, it looks like at least 4 of us.

Thinking about it.
I might talk my friend Kati into going with me.

I'm planning to come on Friday, and there will be two of us. Is there any possibility of a pre-party (in the theater or elsewhere) on Friday night as well? We're driving up early for dinner, but we don't know the city so it would be fun to have something planned for before the show.

hey malnourished and other friday attendees:
i'll let you know if we can do a pre-party friday at the cafe'... but for now sat. might be it...
however, there is a bar/pub (food as well then) right down the street called "The Grog" that could suffice well as a pre-serenity meeting place... it's right on lancaster ave, route 30, just down the street from the theater...
it's a nice little place... maybe a bit busy on fri. night but they have an upstairs that usually has some room.
unless folks are coming who are under 21...
anyway, if demand seems great enough, maybe we can swing a friday night cafe' party as well...
oh, and just to note, the theater is def. *outside* the city - a good 20 min. drive or train from center city philly... just to make that clear to folks...
you said you didn't "know the city well" so wasn't sure exactly what you meant... there are *plenty* of great restaurants i can recommend in the city if you're coming up early enough... and even a decent place or two in bryn mawr...

Gorramit!
I missed seeing this in theaters (cash flow problems). I'd LOVE to go. Am speaking to hubby and the 'rents about showing up on Saturday.
Here's a few thoughts:
1) KYW1060am does a Local events/announcements
2) Can e-mail all three network news programs about this, see if any show up as a local highlights thing. Heck, they did for Harry Potter and SW, why not Serenity?
3) Someone mentioned bringing "props"; instead of that, we could look into bringing "fruity oaty bars" and donating them to a local food bank. It'd also be a neat way of gaining a slice more media attention.
4) My fav: Preston and Steve's morning show. They're always out looking for weird stuff to make fun of, and before they were at WMMR, were VERY active in things going on around town. (Prob still are.) Could e-mail them with a heads-up and see if anyone shows.
I'd be willing to do something, just let me know. But I won't do it without permission of the theater. If nothing happens, nothing happens. If something does happen, it'd be worth doing!

Ben, please don't stress over planning another party for Friday. You're doing a lot already, and I shouldn't be greedy.

I've only been to Philly once as an adult, and that was just to go to the zoo. I would love any suggestions you have for restaurants in the city and/or near the theater. Also, how is Philly as far as driving and parking in the city? I live near DC now, so I won't be scared off if you say it's not easy.
