Yup. Though not all people are paying extra for this. We'd post where we're sitting, but it's a to-be-determined thing, as we only got general admission tix.

Nifty-- glad to see you're coming. I haven't managed to meet you before.

If you think you'd rather join us afterward, we can plan a meeting spot. Actually, we need to do that anyway since we'll be scattered about the theatre.

=( It looks like I won't be able to make it. If anything changes I'll call. Have fun everyone!

Hey, if you're going to the 7 o'clock show, afterwards, Rose and I are gonna walk about a block and a half or so to our favorite tattoo parlor/art gallery - they've got an excellent lil display of Tiki artwork currently showing, and some really trippy other stuff.

I'll probably be pretty easy to spot, look for a "Revenge of the Mummy" jacket (big gold scarab beetle on the front), we'll be in the orchestra section for the movie.

Also, I think we're all thinking of hanging out afterward. Are we doing dinner? Tom, who works frequently in the area, suggests that after the movie, the best bets for seating and decent food are Mel's Diner and an Italian restaurant (what was the name again?) that has been there since the 40s. Both should be able to seat us comfortably.

There's also the Erotic Museum, though I'm not sure what we'd eat there...

[Not Afraid]

Miceli's. Good stuff! It's right around the corner from the Egyptian. Mel's is good too. I also like Cafe des Artistes that is on a side street closer to Sunset.

Bought my ticket today, just in case anyone hasn't gotten theirs yet, you better hurry, there's only 700 left.
See you tomorrow, toot!

(anyone want to meet earlier to walk around the Hollywood & Highland complex?)

[CoasterMatt]

We're gonna Metro from Universal, then walk, it's no big thang

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

I'm up for whatever. There's also Bob's in Burbank and a cool pizza joint about 2 blocks down. Maybe we can all meet at the boxoffice after the show but isn't there a walk thru?

[Gn2Dlnd]

There is a walk-thru after the movie. We'll all find each other there, although, for a thousand seat theater, the place is fairly intimate. I'm sure we'll all know where each other is sitting. I think it's probably a better idea to take advantage of the Hollywood & Highland complex across the street, rather than try to give directions to a restaurant in the valley. There's also a Hamburger Hamlet next door, and a Coffee Bean on the corner. Who knows, maybe the new soda fountain will be open! The options in the immediate neighborhood are vast. And preferable to reparking the car. They're scheduling showings about three hours apart, so count on not actually leaving the theater and walk-thru until around 9:30, and figure out if you need to have dinner before then. It looks like there's a few of us who'll be in the neighborhood early, I'll leave my business card at the box office with my phone number, so's you can find us.


BTW,

See you at the movies!

[Kevy Baby]

Isn't there a McDonalds nearby?


Don't forget the movie memorabilia stuff after the movie. I know I will want to hit that!
