I just chatted with the owner of a small private theater in Waukon, Iowa (zip 52172 for Googling) who would be willing to try to get Serenity from Universal for a 1-night showing if we can get enough people to come. No date as of yet, I'm assessing interest. This is a "pizza pub," an old theater where every second row of seats has been removed and replaced with tables, so that you can eat pizza and other goodies while you watch the show. Tickets are pretty cheap because they know you won't be able to resist the pizza.

Matt says he'd need to have 25 people just to break even on a special event screening. So my question is, would you really come? When would work for you, and when wouldn't? Tell how many people you'd bring if you came.

Here's a link to the theater's web page:

I wish I could, but I'm half a continent away.

Thirty years ago I was in Cedar Rapids. If only I still were!

I am in Iowa City right now, but not for much longer, I am going to be moving to Omaha in a month. If it could be on a weekend, I would try to make it though.

I can't confirm that Iowa exists, but I can verify that it existed circa 1973.

My employer is convinced it exists; we got hospitals there.

Sorry, but being in MI, you're just a tad too far.

[EDIT: out of curiosity I just did MapQuest...distance 536 miles, estimated time...9 hours 15 min. I'd fall asleep once I got there and miss the movie!

I'd go if I lived in Iowa not more than a couple hours away! But alas, I live in the lonestar state.

Griz--we live in Ames, but that'd be a three hour drive for us. There would have to be more of a draw than just the movie (horrible of me, I know). Have we though of doing one in a more central location in IA?

Shiny, I'm only an hour away, count me in. I will commit to three tickets, could be more; not sure if I can get two others to show, but if they don't I'll have plenty of elbow room. Let me know dates/times.

And for you non-believers, Iowa does really exist; we just don't spread it around too much. Honest, we do exist. Really. It might seem like the edge of the Black, but we like it that way.

It has a name, I call it Vera.

Okay, we're 40% of the way there. :) I was getting discouraged here until I thought of it that way!
