Am I a supergeek if I show up alone at midnite?

EVERYONE in my family that I bought tickets for has bailed out on me for midnite tonight(mother, sister, daughter).
My husband is still willing to go but I know he is thinking it will be very late for him since he has to be at up for work by 5:30am.
So my question is, are there people that go alone to the midnite shows? I am the type of person who does not eat alone in public and I have only been to one movie in my life by myself.
Are people going to look at me like I am crazy wondering what kind of geek goes to this sort of thing alone?

 

I am going alone. I just finished my first year of college but most of my friends are not done finals yet. My mom has work early in the morning and my brother lives in New York while I live in Maryland. So I am going alone. Doesn't bother me that much.

 

I went alone to AOTC at midnight. I talked on my cell a lot though to pass the time.

 

I think it's ok. Remember there will be lots of people to talk to in line... just remember to tell them taht you're spoiler-free

Actually I hope there are some alone people at my theatre, I am going with my brother but because I got our tickets separately, we are in separate theatres, according to our tickets. I hope that there will be someone who is willing to switch with one of us- and my best bet will be someone going alone, because they won't be breaking up their party.

 

I was supposed to go w/ a whole bunch of people, but they bailed out for one reason or another, some going to another theater. But I bought my ticket and I am going. I will walk down the line to see, if any other of my friends are going. But the only thing that matters is I am going to see the movie.

 

I'm going by myself too. I was a victim of my own fandom. I bought tickets the second they went on sale. About two weeks later a bunch of kids from my church bought tickets for a midnight showing at a different theatre. I really don't mind goign by myself at all though.

 

Well the old lady has to work all day, and has a photography thingy this evening, so I'll be in line alone, maybe I can meet a new geeky chick!!

 

I'm going with my dad; I would have rather have gone with my girlfriend, but she couldn't make it.


Anyway, being a geek is a great thing!

 

I, too, am going alone. I went to see ATOC 5 out of 6 times alone. I just don't have anyone who I can take. Wife has to work in the morning (plus we have 2 kids), sister lives in another city, mom lives in another state, etc....

 

Well popped down to the theatre to see what was happening, and well about 10 people (15-17 years old) I think they are waiting for tix. I couldn't bare the pressure to get out of my vehicle, so I went got some coffee, I'll show up a little later.

 

i'd be going alone if i had to.

 

Ditto. Don't even think about missing the midnight 'cause people bailed on you.
Last time I waited for hours until my friend showed up and it was a blast. I talked to the people around me... we had a great time. It's part of the midnight experience.

 

I might have to go alone, its still up in the air right now

 

No one will notice when you are sitting down.
Guess it is okay.

nevermind I found someone to go with me

 

I went to the DC charity premiere alone, and that included a party before hand. It was OK. You'll feel like you're part of a family!

 

There's nothing wrong with going alone. Besides, you'll be surrounded by loads of other fans. I wish I was able to see the movie this week. Finals are a bigger villain than Vader.

 

Probably material for another thread like "what is the reaction of your relatives to your hardcore geekness?"

I bought two tickets about a month ago, one for me and one for my soon to be wife. I tell her and first thing she asks me... does it have a happy ending?

ok, I count to 10, and then to 20 just to be sure that I am not going to make any stupid things like break the engagement or similar. Two days later a friend of mine calls me saying that they just told him at the theater that they were sold out, so I am going with him to see it.

Answering to your question, lets say that I would go alone for sure and would feel great about it. In any case Famsen, if some day they release Episode VII and your husband and my wife don´t want to go, count me in!!
