Thursday morning, 12:01am. But while that's when they rolled the film
to show Star Wars Episode 3, you'd bet your bottom dollar you have to
arrive much earlier. Rachel, her chick sister and I arrived about four
hours early, and allowed Tubby the honor to join us when he rolled in
around 11pm -- leaving me with roughly three or four hours to pester patrons
of the theatre before the film began. Hurrah!
I met Jaime, Sean and Luke, who were happy to take a picture once
I bribed 'em with stickers.
I thought it was bloody nice of this bloke to share his spare mask
with me. Whaddya think?
When the doors were finally flung open, all notion of proper queuing
went out the window.
Once inside, we looked around and found a few who really got into
things, i.e. Princess Leia.
The folks behind us and their red eyes while holding me and some
of my bumper sticker giveaways.
And so it begins -- the reason we're all here -- the red exit sign
off to the right of the screen!
