If I'm going to try it, can some give me queuing details. Realistically when do I need to get there? If tickets need to be purchased ASAP could someone buy one for me? I'll pay you back even if I don't make it.

Tickets are purchased as you go thru the cemetery gates; there are no advance sales. So, you simply need to be there by 6:30. Our group will be somewhere in the spiral line that forms on the lawn in front of the cemetery entrance ... usually on one of the outer spiral arms, putting our entry nearer to 6:30 than not.

Parking is somewhat of a hassle if you arrive close to entry time, but if you're cutting it that close, you can brave the crazy left-hand turn lane and just park - for free! - inside the cemetery.


As for driving directions, I'll have to leave that to someone else.

We'll be there about 5ish (or shortly thereafter). Call my cell when you arrive. Alex, I'd love to see you! You have my cell still? Do I need to give you another surprise phone call?

The way we get there is to come North on the 5 (from the 710) and get off on Melrose. Take Melrose West past Paramount Studios and turn Right on Gower which is on the West border of Paramount. Go North on Gower and about 1/2 way to Santa Monica (light) start looking for street parking. After parking, walk North on Gower, turn Right (East) on Santa Monica the cemetery is about 1/2 block from Gower on the Right hand side. We sit in line on the grass in front until the gates open.

Bring $10 cash, a LOW chair, a bottle of wine and some food (or I usually have enough to share) and a blanket if you have one. Sherpas are optional.

After they open the gates, we walk to the spot at the rear of the cemetery, lay out our blankets and have a lovely picnic before the show.

We're winding down the cemetery season, so if you haven't been yet this year, this would be a good time to go.

I'll be there. I can't wait. Everyone bring spaghetti and tennis rackets.
:)

I'm in, I've been wanting to go all season and finally it falls on a weekend when I don't have the Munchkin.

:cheers: How did the cemetery season go by so fleetingly this year? My, my.



Yes, let's all go this Saturday!

So if the movie doesn't start until 8:00, how close to that do you think I can show up and still get in. Is there a point where I know if I can't make it that I should just not bother?

Lisa, I don't think I have your current cell, but you can just PM it to me.

I am so bummed right now. :(

why???? can't go???

Now it's garbage.
 

Yes, Jack Lemmon was in two movies (at least) with character-defining scenes involving pasta.
