Charlotte, NC Serenity Screening June 23, 2006 by Stoweaway

Charlotte! So there

"You landed in my life Like a new and brighter light
That made all my past seem in shadow
I always used to believe That beauty was skin deep
But I need a new word to describe you
And the time that it took to take down the wall
Was the time that it took for me to fall
Hopelessly weak.

JTSkr - Looks like they are still in early planning stage in Atlanta. They have a meetup board you can check if you want to catch it while you're there. Of course now I can't find the link I had.

On our first official day of tickets sales we sold 12 tickets. Not too shabby but we've got plenty more.

Anyone from western NC gonna make the trip? Boone, Asheville, anybody?

OK, I had heard that this had been cancelled. If it's still happening, and I don't have a new job which requires me to move yet, i'll be there. Not sure if the wife will be or not as her schedule doesn't get posted until the week before.

And the best theatre for near by after party!!

I just went by the theater today to have my first look. It's not posh or anything but it's in a good location. The manager is sooooo unbelievably nice. And, if we can sell at least 200 tickets, they'll give us their biggest theater which is completely separated from the rest. That means we can do basically whatever we like outside in the hall. Otherwise we'll have to operate out of the main lobby and keep the whole thing low-key.
And I so desperately want to celebrate this auspicious occasion. I hope everyone is buying their tickets.

I also went by Sir Edmond Halley's Pub today. Excellent idea for an after-party there! That place was cool. And the manager was really nice. She said they would be glad to have us come over after the movie. I wasn't planning on sticking around but after seeing the pub, I think I might just have to.

that pub is one of my favourite places anyway. Haven't been there in a while though. glad you'll be joining us. It is an old theatre, but recently remodled. great place for us. I remember my eldest brother getting me out of school early to go stand in lines that wrapped around that theatre for movies like temple of doom and empire strikes back.

Well, I can't wait to go because somebody *coughJadehandcough* has been talking about how great Sir E's is for so very long now.

And it'll be even better when jammed packed full of browncoats!

SINGATE

I am gonna try like hell to make the trip all the way from Kannapolis. Sure it doens't sound like much but I tend to get a little cranky when I don't know exactly where I am going.

I did get directions from my trusty Google Earth so hopefully things will go smoothly.

Singate - I'm with you, I hate getting lost. When I went to the theater, I just stayed on I-77 to Woodlawn. Then I took Woodlawn over to Park Rd. You can either turn left on Park or go straight over Park to the next stoplight and turn left. The Park Road Shopping Center is right there on the corner. There may be shorter routes, but that was the easiest way to not get lost.
I'm glad you're going to join us. We'll see you there!

As of this morning, we've only sold 30 tickets. We've still got a ways to go. Anybody else out there still waiting to get one?
I saw a post that Atlanta raised $800 in 48 hours to pay for their venue. How cool is that?

Keep your eyes peeled next week for a mention in the Charlotte Observer. Lawrence Toppman, movie critic, loved the movie last year and is going to mention our event in his column sometime next week. We sure can't beat publicity like that.

Charlotte now has a ticket outlet for anyone who doesn't want to use Paypal. Tickets are available at:

The Record Exchange
4149 Park Rd, Charlotte, NC 28209
Phone: (704) 752-0100

Its in the Park Road Shopping Center (the same parking lot as the movie theater) at the corner of Woodlawn & Park Rd. Just like any ticket service, there's a service fee attached.
I sent the info to the Charlotte Observer and it's supposed to be included in our newspaper mention.

There should be another write-up for the Serenity shindig coming out on Monday. J.Scott Wilson is a writer for IBSYS. He wrote the review last year, "Serenity Now", that appeared on many, many news websites. And it just so happens that he lives here in Charlotte. So he's not only writing the piece, but he's also coming to the screening.
Since he's a fan, I asked if he would say a few words to our moviegoers and draw the names for the door prizes.
Just a word of warning, though. I made the mistake of referring to him as Mr. Wilson. He said if I ever called him that again he would feed me to a Reaver. He was kidding, of course -- I think.

TERRI

Hey, I see all these Browncoats from around Charlotte, and whatnot, and I was wondering if there is a group that gets together and watches eps or something. If not there should be. I'm in Charlotte, and I'd love to meet up with other Independents.

Hey Terri,
Welcome! It's nice to see a new recruit. Have you already introduced yourself on the new recruit thread? Many folks will be happy to welcome you and Followmal will want to give you your shiny, brown coat (its virtual, of course...). I'm hoping to be involved in the Charlotte filming, too, and am anxiously awaiting an update from Mcgyver as to when it will happen.

There is a meetup tonight (Thurs) at Carraba's Italian Grill on South Blvd. This is our first gathering of Charlotte Browcoats. It starts at 6p for cocktails, 6:30p for dinner.
If you're interested, you should notify the organizer so she can change our reservation. Send me a msg and I'll get you her e-mail.
Now, where did I put her e-mail address.........
