To update our availability, Saturday the 12th is not workable for us, but the other Saturdays are.

I should probably point out that the 27th is actually the day the Oscars are aired.

Look! Some bastard voted the "Keep your shorts to yourself" option.

What sort of killjoy would do that !

Results?

Looks like one of the Saturdays worked best for the majority of people. 19th or 26th. Any last requests?

Well, the 19th is going to be a Lucent Dossier event, so my personal vote is for the 26th. Oscar fever at a pitch that day, too!

26th it is!

I probably won't make it the night before the Oscars - because I'll be cleaning the house and preparing the house for the Oscar party (that's right - you're all invited).

I do have tix for the Branagh thing, so I'll probably be with you in spirit.

Saw the animated shorts yesterday.

Nothing spectacular in the group and it probably isn't a great sign that of the 7 shorts shown (2 bonus shorts are included to fill out time) my favorite was not one of the nominated ones.

If forced to choose I guess I'd go with "Madagascar: A Journal Diary" as while it has no story it does something interesting with the animation. I'd forgotten I'd already seen the Pixar short "Night and Day" and was surprised how little it did for me as I remember enjoying it the first time.

I'm not seeing the screenings listed on Laemmle's site. Is there info, ticket sales anywhere yet?

ETA: Hmmm, according to This page, they're on Friday the 25th at not at the Sunset Laemmle, not the 26th and 27th.....
