Concerning OotP midnight screening
For

First and foremost, tickets have been bought for all of you plus Rian. The total per ticket is $9.75. $8.75 + $1.00 for movietickets.com fees. What I'll do is have five quarters on hand in case you guys want to pay with $10 bills. But yes, you can pay me when you see me on Tuesday. The theater, for reference, is the Creve Coeur 12 theater on Olive, near the intersection/overpass of Olive and Lindbergh.
Second, I know there was some interest about meeting up beforehand to watch GoF/eat dinner/etc. Here's my take:
I'll be out of the house (at the gym) until 2 PM. If people want to come over and watch GoF around then, that's fine with me. I personally wouldn't mind getting some dinner before the movie (maybe around 8 or so?). In walking distance of the theater there's California Pizza Kitchen, Stir Crazy, Sweet Tomatoes, St. Louis Bread Co., and a Schnuck's (yeah, if anyone wants to go drinking afterward and has an ID, this is a 24 hour Schnuck's that has booze. Just no drinking in the car, please), for those who don't live around there (and Oberweis/ice cream, but that isn't really dinner. xD). I'm personally up for CPK or Bread Co myself (but CPK has the better salads/food), but if people want to pay individually and don't want to bother with separate checks, then Bread Co or Sweet Tomatoes (A salad/pasta/pizza/self serve buffet) would be the better option. Or if not all of us want to go out to dinner, some of us can go and others can meet up at the theater. I've been to this particular theater for the SS and CoS releases and I can tell you, the lines will go out the door. So it'll be best to get in line at least somewhat early, maybe 10 or so at the latest. I know by 11:15 or so is when they start letting people in, and it'll be packed of course.
And I imagine for Hachi, Nana, Scotti, and I, we'll want to take pictures at some point. XD
Finally, you're welcome to stay over at my house for the night if you like. It'll probably be around 3 AM when we finally get out of the theater (including previews and all), so I know it'll be rather late to drive. I'll only be driving home post-theater, so I can't drop anyone off at home. Just please let me know if you plan on staying over and make sure to bring a pillow and a sleeping bag/blanket. If you need it, I do have a shower you can use downstairs with fresh towels and the like. Just bring your shampoo/soap/conditioner. :D
Likewise, if the weather's nice on Wednesday morning, I don't mind getting up for a morning/afternoon swim if people want to stay for that. The pool's open and all. But really, it just depends on your schedules (and the schedules of people giving you rides, too!).
Just let me know. :D Can't wait to see all of you on Tuesday!
PS -
satansangel0308 and
newtypeshadow, if you two are still interested in a DH release party/dinner/etc, please let me know? Since it's just the two of you I'll just make a filter on LJ or email you. I'm still planning on going to the Left Bank Books party (So if you want to go with me and want a book, make sure to reserve there!), but I have ideas for dinner beforehand and the like and want to make sure you two, if you're still interested, are okay with everything.
