Movie on the 19th!! (Shrek 3)

[flyingfox17]

Despite the title, I'll explain anyway. After conferring with a few members, we've discovered a few of us have off this Saturday. And a certain movie is premiering this Friday - and it's a comedy (animated comedy, no less), which is good, since most of us have short attention spans.

But since we can't really socialize too much during an actual movie - I'm hoping to make it a dinner and a movie meet. Or a lunch and movie meet, or breakfast, depending on when we can arrange to go. This way, we don't buy too much overpriced popcorn, get a decent meal out, and we get to actually talk to each other before the film starts!

Failing that, we could just have the movie. Or try for both and see who shows up early.

(Cross-posted to our LJ group)

Either way, it's the perfect short-notice excuse to get together! So reply! We need locations and times for this, people! I happen to know of the Movies 10 down near where the Shop-Rite and Mini-golf is (I forget the name of the area), and the theater at the mall - I forget where the other ones are. But I'm sure they're around.

So, we've got four days to discuss this - Which theater do we want? What time of day - and can we find a good place to eat nearby!? All valid questions, and ones that need resolved soon! And be sure to drag the furries you know into this - not everyone is still frequenting here. For that matter, drag them here in the first place if you can, but failing that, just see who else you can bring.

This is a shot toward getting together actual meets, after all. Or something like that.

(My vote [for now, anyway] is for the Christiana Mall - since it is right next to a food court, has a Ruby Tuesday's, and failing all else, it's a mall - we could wander)

Personal favorite for this type of deal is the movies 10, cuz it also has a neat little mexican food place real close near by (same shopping center). I like the food there alot, but if you don't like mexican i'm open for suggestions on that too~.

Mall also works! But I'm a bit skeptic about that place because some of my student teachers work there and it's CREEPY

As for time of day, I'm up for anything

the movies at the christiana mall closed yeaaars ago! where have you been? lol.

i agree that movies ten is a good bet--they're cheaper than the regal cinemas in the area, but still pretty nice. the movies at the newark shopping center is really cheap, but it's also REALLY small. i saw shrek 2 there when it was released and it was PACKED.

dinner and amovie sounds AWESOME. not sure if jess (my gf) can come or not yet, it depends on what showtime we choose. she works til six, i think.

has anyone been in touch with other members yet? i'm bad at names...starlightkitty, and dragonfox i think she was? lol. we need to compile a list of phone numbers somehow--but not on here, as it'd be way too public.

i hope this works out!

Show times Ya'll!

Shrek the Third
Rated PG, 1 hr 33 min
Showtimes: (11:30am), (11:50am), (12:10), (2:00), (2:20), (2:40), (4:30), (4:50), (5:10), 7:00, 7:20, 7:40, 9:30, 9:50, 10:10

This is what I think so far, as for what I know everyone has either off, or will be off work by 6. Depending on the travel time to get ready, the 7:40 than looks promising. We could do dinner anywhere from 6:30-7:00, so theres time to adjust if someone does need more time cushion from getting off at 6:00.

From that, we get in, eat, and 7:40 movie gives us enough time to enjoy the food, rather than scarfing. This is also taking into account that the food place is near by, La Tolteca, which is the same shopping district is keen, but not necessary. There is also the Crossroads, which is a bit back on kirkwood, (leaning for earlier dinner), and hell, there's a McDonalds too if you don't want to have to worry about tip.

the 7:40 sounds good to me. it would probably be a good idea to buy tickets before we even eat, too, since the movie is bound to be pretty popular. i don't think movies ten has a "buy tickets online" option, so we'd have to go in early to buy em. or, since i have off all day, i could run up early in the day and buy tickets for everyone. i'd need concrete answers on who's coming and who's not earlier, then.

I would love to go if I wasnt going to Drac's Ball on saturday x.x

They closed the Christiana Theater? Okay.. so the Movies 10, it is..

Checked with Ibiza (another De fur - Maned wolf, but not on the board yet) - And she's not going to make it. So still six, so far. And I think Dragonfox is bringing company as well, though I don't think it's a furry. Shouldn't change the nature of the outing any, though.

We need some fursuiters in this state, just to make outings more interesting. Though I suppose establishing outings first would be more important. Oh well, never too early for long term planning... or something like that.

Speaking of which, I do like the idea of buying tickets in advance - but if we're hoping to sit as a group, a sold-out theater would still be bad... we might want to move dinner earlier depending on this. Though it does depend on how long we expect to spend eating - and where.

So, at this rate, it seems that everyone who is coming will be everyone who missed the BBQ.



...Go figure.

Well it turns out i can go to the movies with ya'll, but i dont know if i can make the dinner yet or not. we'll find out tomarrow!

[reaux]

great!

from what i know, if looks like we'll be meeting up at the crossroads restaurant (on the intersection of rt 7 and kirkwood) at around 6 - 6:15. we'll eat there and then head over to the movies!

Sunshadow has just let me know that she won't be able to make the movies afterall, as she is going to a wedding
