Southern California Trek XI meet
Just checking interest here in the SoCal area for a meetup.
I'm in the San Fernando Valley. Already talked to Kynes and Wayne, who are both in LA right now, and they're up for a meet although no dates have been decided yet. Anyone else want to join in?
Also, I'm open to suggestions on theatres and showtimes.

Re: Southern California Trek XI meet
I'm in. I'd prefer May 9th, and I'd be willing to shell out big bucks to see it in imax (if it's offered in imax)
Hey, maybe we can get Kanastrous to hook us up with something special? Maybe?

I'm in West Los Angeles here. Depending on when we go, I might be down for it. I've met anyone on SDNET in person before.

I'm interested depending on how much I get to drink before the film, the 9th is an awfully tempting date.

Re: Southern California Trek XI meet
So what's the consensus? The 9th then? An early matinee? Early evening?
As for theaters...there's a bunch in North Orange County (Huntington Beach or the Block in Anaheim) that could be a good compromise in terms of distance.

Re: Southern California Trek XI meet
The AMC at the Block at Orange sounds good. I think a (late?) matinee would be better to avoid the late crowds, plus I'm guessing a bunch of us are kind of strapped anyway...

Re: Southern California Trek XI meet
I could probably make it on the evening of the ninth.
Edit: By evening, I mean any time after about 4:30PM

Google Maps says that it's about 32 miles from USC... Might I be able to get a ride from anyone close to me?

Showtimes at 2, 5, and 8. 5 would probably be best.

Re: Southern California Trek XI meet
Be careful with the later showings because you'll have to deal with traffic to and from the Angels game from about 5:00-6:00 (6:05 start time over there). It probably wouldn't make a huge difference but I figured i'd put it out there. If it's at the block I can go damn near anytime. I might even go to Dave and Busters or do some bowling at Luck Strike before and after so that I'm sufficiently beveraged.

Re: Southern California Trek XI meet
Do any of you think that if we get there at, say, 3:45 or 4 we'll have enough time to get a good place in line and good seats?

Re: Southern California Trek XI meet
Im getting there early regardless so I can perhaps visit Games Workshop and/or Alcatraz brewing Co.

On the bright side I can say that it's definitely worth seeing. But you probably already figured that.

I'd be up for it, but I'll only be in California around the end of May. If you lot see it by then, then I'll just have to see it with the SDN New Yorkers

Re: Southern California Trek XI meet
Guys,
By the way, here's the complete list of showtimes:
10:00am, 11:00am, 11:30am, Noon, 12:30pm, 1:00pm, 2:00pm, 2:30pm, 3:00pm, 3:30pm, 4:00pm, 5:00pm, 5:30pm, 6:00pm, 6:30pm, 7:00pm, 8:00pm, 8:30pm, 9:00pm, 9:30pm, 10:00pm, 11:00pm, 11:30pm, Midnight, 12:30am
Digital Presentation
7:30pm, 10:30pm
I think we should still try for the 5:00 but get there between 3 and 4 just in case. Again, I don't know the Block, so can anyone more familiar with the place suggest where we can meet?

Re: Southern California Trek XI meet
Well, I won't be able to make it now, unless I can get back to campus by 5PM. Which is probably no fun for the rest of you all.

Anyone want to do an earlier showtime, then? Or is 5 still the best time? Also, where do we want to meet, any restaurant or easy to find point of interest at the Block?

Re: Southern California Trek XI meet
Alcatraz Brewing CO is my personal favorite place to eat there and its really easy to find, but Dave and Busters might have a wider appeal. I dunno.

Re: Southern California Trek XI meet
Ha, not class, I've got an end of the year banquet I need to go to. Besides, it's finals week, no classes for the rest of the year (tuesday for me)!

Alcatraz Brewing sounds good. I cannot leave Irvine until at least 3:00 though.

Re: Southern California Trek XI meet
OK, so we'll get our tickets for the 5:00 showtime as soon as we get there (I'm going to try to arrive around 3:30 to make sure), wait up at Alcatraz and then we'll all head over to the theater?
