Thank you amyth. We shall have grand times! Also I really don't fancy the idea of coming back from Charlotte by myself that late at night, cuz sleepy. Being a teacher is good at times like these, with the summer off.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It makes me want to do the math. How many people does a smallish movie theatre seat? 300? So 35 cities x300 seats= 10,500. Not a whole lot of people, all things considered.
Yeah, but those 10,500 people are devoted enough to be hitting refresh every minute or so. So there must be a lot more not-quite-as-devoted fans, plus some more just-as-devoted,-just-not-as-lucky fans....

It wasn't in a small theater for the last Boston show - it was in one of the big two. No idea what the capacity is though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
amyth, hon, I'm gonna have to pass, in spite of my most valiant attempts to persuade myself otherwise. I'm already missing some work that week, and there's just no way I can get back at 4 am and still function. Wah.

Crushing sadness! Seriously. But I understand. I had a meeting with my boss earlier in the week where I essentially said, "I know you're taking the 24th off, and so is J., but if I get tickets to this thing, I'm taking the 24th off and I'm taking smonster with me." Considering this will leave no one in the office except for our temp who starts on Monday, she was surprisingly cool about it. Thank dog for the temp!

In Boston, it was six hundred something. Might not be in one of the big theaters this time, though.

Same theater, Jon.
D'oh. Same cineplex; not necessarily same theater. I get what you're saying.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Matt, thank you, but I'll be at least four hours from Memphis (30 minutes east of Nashville, to be precise) and engaged in some family business that sadly will not involve cement shoes, so I couldn't guarantee I could get to Memphis that day. Alas. I resign myself to waiting.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Were there empty seats at any previous screenings anywhere but SF? I remember glaring resentfully at a score or more in May and muttering darkly about the discussion here the night before about scalpers.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
