Ok, so this is the one GC will be at?

Yes and yes.
:)

I can't wait!

Well. Another mandatory trip down there was just added to my schedule for this weekend (meaning three, and potentially four consecutive weekends down there). Maybe I'll be able to attend after all.

I'll have to see how the full schedule shakes out.

Only if you strain it through a tennis racket and serve the meatballs.

Oh GC, Shut up and Deal

Bring blankets, drinks and picnic dinner for this special screening below (and above) the stars.

So early! We're coming-- I hope. We have a work deadline on Monday and I'm hoping we'll be mostly done by Saturday night.

Yeah, I hate the early time schedule. Drat that cursed orbit of ours! Frelling planet!


But, ok, I'll be there. Maybe this movie deserves another chance, because I am decidedly meh about it - yet it has acclaim a'plenty.

It is looking like I will be free if I have the energy to drive back up from San Diego for the evening.

oh, please do try and come, Alex. It would be such a pleasure to see you outside a Disneyland or M.A. scenario for once.

Bah! No chance of making this one, we'll be tied up at Knott's Berry Farm for, joy of joys, my company picnic. Not that there aren't worse things than free Mrs. Knott's chicken and free park entrance, but would much rather be hanging with the out of towners.
