Blast! I'm a mere 30 minutes from Elizabeth NJ and that week I will be in Tennessee. Some god doesn't want me to see an advance screening of Serenity.

Where in Tennessee will you be, zenkitty? I just bought my tickets online at the Memphis Malco Paradiso, and they're likely to still have some throughout the day if you'll be within driving distance in the western part of the state.

I didn't feel like it, because I'm a lazy slacker. And I have phone fear.

Me too. Misha had to prod me in IM "Just call them. They're open by now." And then, because she knows me way too well, about 10 minutes later "so what did they say?", and then I went and called.

(Phone lady was quite nice and sounded excited about the movie herself -- just had no idea when they'd have tickets to sell.)

eta: I have officially done nothing today. Luckily, the hyperfocus thing is actually productive on days when I'm focused on something other than hitting F5.

Thanks, Kathy A - let me know when you find out.

Miriam wants to go - do you think you might have two extra ticktets?

I've pretty much resigned myself to not seeing it till it's generally released.

Possibly--it's very likely that, the showing being late on a work night, Ellen (my co-worker) will bail completely, leaving me with two extra tickets. I've got an e-mail out to her, and will let you know as soon as she gets back to me.

Huh. There's a Pittsburgh screening. I didn't know! In a theater 15 minutes from my house. And tickets are available.

t feels guilty about getting tickets although have seen it already

Woo!

Reading this thread is making me kind of relieved that there isn't a showing within practical getting to distance of me.

Yeah!!! I got tickets! I gave up on waiting for Cincinnati. We even called the box office and talked to a manager. She was completely clueless and the other manager, who might have known something, wasn't available. So I'm driving a little further for the Columbus show. Now, I have to see if I can get any friends to go, since I doubt central Ohio is going to sell out quickly.

And I did get the

message once. I tried again immediately and got tickets with no problems (apparently).

Steph L., you could always try Columbus. But if you're debating going at all, it may not be worth that much driving to you. I'm in Dayton, so it's not quite so far.

ACK! The Portland link's working now! And I'd already decided I was going to wait till it was really out! ANd now I'm all indecisive....by the time I decide, it'll probably be sold out...mommy...

I am SO not surprised. Good lord.
