Episode III at Midnight?, Anyone else going tonight? Options

[CptTripps]

I'm POSITIVE I'm not the only geek going to see Episode III at Midnight....am I??

I got 8 tix for the 12:01am DLP showing. Told all my programmers today that we'd be working late...a couple got pissed...then I told them WHY. I also gave them tomorrow off for having to work so late. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

We DID tell the 'new guy' that we were all dressing up...and he was Chewbacca. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

So who else is going?

Royce, the line is the best part!

i'm pretty sure it'll be out on DVD by Christmas :-) ...

but i have to share my "line" story.

i went to see THE 'Star Wars' movie when it was "THE" Star Wars movie -- what we now call "Episode IV" (no one knew why then...) it opened on a Friday, there was a writeup in NewsWeek that showed a picture of Han Solo and Chewbacca and we thought it'd probably be pretty hokey but worth a shot. went for the Saturday midnight showing and the word was starting to get out. we figured the place would be deserted but there was a line around the theatre which we duly got at the end of.

an hour goes by, but the people at the front of the line had been there for almost two. eventually the line starts to move, and some of the people leaving the prior showing say stuff like "it's worth the wait" so there is hope... we get to the theatre proper and - there's nobody there!

went and got great seats smack in the middle of the theatre.

finally figured it out: half the people in front of us had passed the time drinking beer; the other half were passing joints up and down the line. the beer people split for the bathrooms, the grass people headed straight for the snack bar, and those of us who hadn't been working so hard to get a good buzz on got the good seats!
