FANBOYS - Rebel Legion / 501st Event (February 20th)

Lord Parsec ()

We have been asked (Along with the 501st) to be on hand for two screenings of the new movie FANBOYS!

Here is the trailer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBkA3R2Habo

What: FANBOYS Screenings
Where: Harkins Arizona Mills
When: Friday, February 20th, 2009
Time: 5PM-9PM

There will be two screenings if you'd like to see it. It is unlikely that Harkins will be letting us in for free to see it so buy tickets when they become available. The two screenings are at 6:05 and 8:25PM.

They are looking for "recognizable characters" for this event (in other words, probably movie characters. Avoid Expanded Universe if you can).

NOTE: Please remember as this is an official RL event only officially submitted members are permitted to participate!

If you are not a member but would still like to come out and support us, please do so. Very Happy

I want to see this movie but unfortunately I won't be able to attend. My manager has the schedule set out to the first week of March already so I have to know my stuff well in advance most of the time in order to request stuff off unfortunately.

Sorry guys! Sad

You mean the movie is actually coming out? For real? For really real this time? Shocked

I'll troop as an RFT, and I'm planning to see the later showing (9:00pm).

I have not heard from my contact yet which theatre we will be at. They said they'd know Tuesday so hopefully tomorrow. *Crosses fingers*

Very Happy

Don't forget! Movie recognizable!

CHANGE OF TIME...AGAIN!

I will post these changes in the original post as well. I got this email from Patrick at Allied Marketing. Please don't blame him for the time change, I have STRONG feeling this was Harkins fault.

Joel-

We have the two show times confirmed for FANBOYS at Arizona Mills 6:05 pm and 8:25 pm

Is there a chance that you can have the people arrive at Arizona Mills at 5:00 pm and be ready by 5:30 pm?

Then we’ll stay for the 6:05 pm showing, and be at the start of the 8:25 pm showing.

Please let me know.

Thanks Joel

I know this puts things VERY close to the end of the workday. If you need to come late I understand. Don't let it be a stressfull thing.

I'm still not sure...my Friday nights are generally already booked in advance, plus I work until 4:30. By the time I fight traffic I could conceivably be there by 5:30 - 5:45. I must ponder this further.

I got us some press on www.theforce.net for this event!

Okay, here's what I got from my contact today.

Here is some important information for the FANBOYS gathering tomorrow at Harkins Arizona Mills, I just want to make sure that this will clear up everything until tomorrow:

* Unfortunately, the Harkins Theaters website doesn’t have the film in the system yet, so ticket will have to be purchased at the theater box office.

* You will be informed where to change into costume when you arrive, the General Manager of the Harkins AZ Mills is looking for a suitable location for you to change into costume.

* I will bring a camera, so I will take photos for the studio, but we sent out a press release about the event tomorrow; I haven’t yet received any calls, but press have been known to just show up and take photos and do interviews. I informed them that you will be in full costume from 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm.

* Checking with Harkins, we’ll see if we can have the members of the Rebel Legion and 501st make a short announcement about the organizations to the patrons seeing FANBOYS to build awareness for the organizations and hopefully get new members.

I (Joel) will be checking the boards up until 4:30 tomorrow for any last minute... things (questions, comments, concerns, etc.).

This is gonna be fun!!! Very Happy
