If you guys are worried about Saturday come tonight, Friday, if you can. My brother and I along with a few coworkers will be there and I'm hoping it'll be a good crowd.

Hope things went well last night!

I'm sitting here watching the skies, hoping that it won't toss us a blizzard.

My husband's freaking out that I'm gonna go out in the snow by myself just to hang out with you guys. I told him I'm not making any decisions until I see what it looks like outside come dinnertime.

So here's hoping it passes us by.

Oh, and NEXT weekend they're predicting 50 degree weather. OF COURSE!

hey folks:

last night's screening was awesome.

on of the best times i've had at the movies in years... and i was working!

didn't even get to see more than half!

official count was 105... probably had 110 in there with a few staff members, etc.

everyone obviously loved the movie, and a few first timers as well.

will say more in a later post - hopefully w/ some pictures.

just wanted to let folks know it should be a lot of fun if the come out tonight.

but do be careful.

the weather report i just saw says most of the accumluation will happen over night and sunday morning... but again, call it as you see it when it's time to leave your houses.

and take major roads. i posted above re: routes.

we'll be there with hot chocolate!

-ben

Gorramit. Now they're saying 8 - 13 inches, and right in the time frame of the movie. We're keeping the CarShare reservation just in hopes, but it's not looking good for us. My deepest apologies to brownsparrow, who was hitchin' a ride. I just got rid of my Jeep Wrangler in November, I would feel so much better driving a familiar 4-wheeler. Anyway, if we're not there, we'll send a check and come next time. :-( We also recommended it to browncoats who live less than a mile away from the theatre, who said they're coming and damn the torpedoes. So, hope that makes up for it if we're absent.

That was the best time I've had at the movies since... ever.

Before the show we met about 8 Browncoats at the Grog. Later, Ben acted as MC for a trivia contest complete with prizes. Projection, print quality, and sound were great.

I have 2 tickets in hand for tonight and, although I can't promise, will try to make it.

Ben - thanks again for making this happen. My wife and I had a great time, and it was nice meeting you and the other browncoats at the Grog beforehand (I just wish I could hear - I can never hear anything in loud bars!) ... unfortunately we won't make the saturday show - can't get rid of the kids 2 nights in a row!

My 13 year old brought the Serenity DVD to his friends house last night for their sleepover to convert a new browncoat. The next time you do this, maybe we'll bring him, too...

Tell me again where you got your Blue Sun shirt?

Good luck with the Saturday night showing, hopefully the heavy stuff will hold off until 4 am or so, to give people time to get home.
