Generally speaking, people get in line for tickets a day or two ahead (assuming that, like last time, they sell them a week or two before), and then they tend to disperse. The longest I've seen a line start for seating is like 36 hours. It's a pretty laid back crowd. I haven't seen anyone get into a tizzy if there's one person holding a space for several dozen people (at least not when it's like a day away. We've never had the "50 people show up at the last minute" deal, yet). We typically work in shifts so no one person has to be there all the time, but people don't typically want to leave becasue it's too much fun. I think my group's going to try to turn it into something more like a tailgating event. Right now, my plan is to start the seating line at noon on the 17th, but things are pretty fluid, so we'll see how it all pans out.

Wait do you mean the actual bar on the corner or the 'makeshift' one from the AOTC line? Cuz I thought that it made the wait MUCH more fun! So who here knows when tix will go on sale at the Senator? I will be there in line as always with my guitar and djembe in hand! anyone know if there will be another drum circle? Serious fun you guys, CYA there! PM me if anyone wants to meet up there or has ANY info on the line for tix as well as the line for the movie.

Oh yeah, and does anybody know where the pics from the drum circle at the Senator are from the night that tix went on sale? When I showed up on opening night some dude was like "OH MY GOD! I SAW YOU ON THE INTERNET!" And I was like "whoa! not what I want someone to yell to me in the streets of Bmore" but anyway, apparently there are pics of me playing 2 djembes(drums) somewhere on this crazy internet thing. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

FYI folks.
Senator does not yet have RotS booked yet.
I received the following from the owner just yesterday:
=========================================
From : Thomas Kiefaber <tom@senator.com>
Sent : Monday, April 4, 2005 2:06 PM
Subject : Re: Star Wars or no?
As you may imagine, the information you are seeking is also something we also wish to know as soon as possible.
Currently the last Star Wars film in the series film is not available to the independently owned and operated Senator Theatre.
We expect to prevail as we have in past years in overcoming the industry obstacles and license the film for exhibition at The Senator Theatre.
As soon as that is definitively determined [one way or another] we will quickly make that information known, first to our e-mail listmembers and shortly thereafter to the general public as well. Please stay tuned in that regard, we are struggling to get this matter settled as soon as possible.
May the force be with us all.
Regards, Tom Kiefaber
========================
I've also used Crown's site to send an inquiry regarding DLP offering - no reply to that yet.
Indeed it may be too early, but my brother's overseas and needs the earliest 'heads-up' to make return arrangements.
Want to reminisce?
I still have photos from Ep II lines @ Senator

Eh, sadly, I have to catch Episode III in South Carolina for the premiere. I wish I could go, but my whole family is renting out a beach house for my cousin's graduation from med school. We should deffinately get some periodically timed seeings of Episode III though .

RE: Crown Theatre response

Well, at least there haven't been a definite "No" from either Crown nor Senator (like there has with Grauman's).
-------------------
Customer Service response:
Thank you for your inquiry. We do not have any information regarding Star Wars available at this time. Please continue to check our website as we will post the information there just as soon as it becomes available.
Sincerely,
Crown Theatres

Well, my sources in the Fighting 501st Legion: Vader's Fist, have told me that a Premier/Party is the weekend of the 28th at the Senator. It may be at that date due to the fact that the Senator is privatly owned and operated. I shall be in attendance. Info may be wrong, but it coming from the 501st is good enough for me.

I can't imagine Crown not getting the movie since they have digital projection. We probably won't get any official statement from them until a few weeks before the release.

Not to interupt in being new at this and all but Marylanders can find
Digital Projection at Lowes Rio 18 in Gaithersburg.
And at the new AFI Silver in Silver Spring.
My father an avid SW fan himself is a member of NATO, National Association of Theater Owners, and was informed that EPIII would be in Digital Projection at these two theaters, in addition to the theater in Annapolis. I hope that some of these are a bit more convienent for those who want to see the film with a Digital Projection.~R

Thank's for the news, oysteinsevag.
Also, I got this email today from the Senator listserve:
April 14, 2005
Dear “Star Wars” at The Senator Fans,
We are currently in the process of securing the rights to present the final film of the “Star Wars” series, “Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” at The Senator Theatre.
We are optimistic that The Senator will be one of the many theatres opening the film on its national release date of Wednesday, May 19th , but as an independent location in a mercurial industry, there is always an element of uncertainty until the deal is done.
As soon as we are able to make an official announcement regarding “Episode III”, we plan to first inform the members of our e-mail list before we disseminate the information to the general public. If the film is licensed for exhibition at The Senator, we plan to offer a 12:01am show as we have in the past.
May the force be with us.
Regards,
Tom Kiefaber
Just wanted to keep those planning to go to the Senator updated.
As TFN's reported, some theatres have already started selling tickets. Movietickets.com has started, but Fandango won't till some time around April 20th.
As that date draws closer, I'm going to start an Official Midnight Screening thread where we can organize the different screenings going on around the state.
With oysteinsevag's news, more of us will be able to see Ep3 digitally!
