I didn't have much choice, being in the far north suburbs and all that. I mean, I suppose I could have researched an EL stop to park at and then figured out how to use the EL to get to the theatre, but really, it was easier to just plug the theatre address into Mapquest.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So, am I the only Chicago area buffista going to the Chicago preview?
I missed out as well.
I parked in the garage at the theatre for the Chicago screening and it cost me $26.
Reminds me of when I went to the Trilogy Tuesday for LotR at AMC River East--movie ticket cost me $30. Parking for the day cost me $29.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Are you close to a Metra station? Metra is the best (and usually the fastest) way to get to and from the suburbs. You'd probably need to take a bus or cab from the downtown station to the theater.

I am close to a Metra station. Last train home leaves Chicago at 12:35 and arrives here at 2am. Between trying to make from the theatre to the station in 30 minutes and getting home over half an hour later than I managed with my car (and this was after giving a friend who lives in the city a ride home) I think the train probably would have been more trouble than it's worth in this case. I don't know.

Oh yeah - if it's that late at night, driving would be faster.

I agree -- it's a 10 pm showing. I don't think you would want to count on making that last train.
Now, if it were earlier in the evening -- that's a different story.

This is why I just risk parking tickets on the sidestreets over by DePaul University in Chicago. I figure they can't be that much more expensive than parking costs are. (Though apparently a student took exception either to my parking space or happy face antenna cap and bent my radio antenna last time I was there...)

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Damn them and their three covers, though....
I'm considering buying all of them for collector's sake.
That's exactly my point--I'll do it, but my grad student budget will whimper about it. And I'll have to think of a better justification to myself for owning three copies of the same thing. it's a thing.

I may have to seize the cat.
Kiba. Write to him and tell him to mail you the damned DVD.
Hm. I could try that. I have never done it before. (If I'm going to start asking for presents, I really want the him-and-Kai demo of "I'll Never Tell." Which someone almost stole from the ME office for me, but then didn't.)
We ran F:IA and all we got was...well, we didn't even get a lousy t-shirt.

Lilty, I'm going to the second Boston showing, I'm sure we can get you back to your car if you were to park at some place like the Alewife T station (which is conveniently at the "end" of Route 2 in a "you can't miss it" place). The first time, the movie got out with sufficient time so that we only dawdled a bit and still had a comfortable amount of time to get to the T before it ran the last time. Plus then, we had time to talk excitedly about the movie on the T, so bonus.
