    I'll see about an umbrella, I know I can bring two folding chairs, one extra if anyone needs one. I can also bring a wheelie cooler, and put some ice and drinks in it if anyone wants, that's no problem. If anyone wants to bring anything to be kept cold, it's no problem. See you there!

    Since I'll likely be coming alone... I won't be able to get there until somewhere between 7-8pm. I need a way to sneak in with you guys.

    RocketFett - I appreciate the offer to let me slide in with ya'll but not sure how feasible it will be beacause I'll have a few people along with me. I actually picked up tickets for 20 people. However only about 5 or so will show up with me around 6ish. Ive told the others to get there early if they want decent seats.

    Quick question, since we will be there with chairs and coolers and what not, will the management at AMC let us in to go to use the restrooms??

    Also I guess since I haven't been to any of the meetings yet, ya'll dont know my real name. My name is Ziad but most friends just call me Z. I guess another way ya'll will know me when I get there is cause I'll be dressed up in a jedi outfit.

    Hey Z, welcome to the board. I don't imagine that they'll be so mean not to allow us to use the bathrooms, at least I hope not! For those of you who have been there before, is there something we can use nearby in case there isn't? I wish there was a way we could get the theatre to rope off the front row for all of us, have a sort of reserved seating section. Maybe RocketFett could convince the manager that it's best to let us have a cordoned off section so we don't scare the less dedicated.[face_laugh] But who knows? For those of you who did this for AOTC, were there that many people there at 7? Either way though, I hope we'll all be traversing the line at one point or another to meet each other!

    Is anyone atually going to Plano to see the movie in DLP? I was but the friends that I was going to stay with up there all came down with the flu so they are probably not going to go :( They are still holding 4 tickets to the DLP showing at 12:01 at the Legacy. I'm still thinking about going it alone since the rest of my friends here already bought their tickets weeks ago and that particular showing is sold out so I can't go see it with them. I'll have to settle for seeing it on a smaller screen at 12:01 or seeing it later on on a bigger screen if I don't go up there to see it. This sucks :(

    Unfortunately Rocketfett won't be able to save a spot (he already checked with management). However, I won't get there till 7 PM or later, too, so those of us coming later could group together, if you wish. I'll be dressed as a sith with a vader replica saber and I'll have a Dark Lord of the JCC pin on my outfit.

    Hey there folks-

    Since I don't know a one of you (that I know of), I was thinking that people from this board could develop some sort of identification method for meeting up. There will be a lot of SW fans present, so anything to help identify ourselves to one another might be helpful.

    Nametags, a description of looks, clothing, costume, anything that at least one person at each event could use to hook newbies up with the rest of the group, will be appreciated.

    For example, I'm pretty sure I'll be the only stormtrooper with blue hair present. Come up and say "hi" if you see me. (I'll likely be at either the Woodlands or the Marq E, haven't decided yet)

    Anyhoo, that's how y'all can find me. How 'bout the rest of you?

    Cheers!

    Hey all, I'll be at AMC First Colony between 4-5pm im hoping. I probably wont be dressed at that point because it will most likely still be hot. What im planning is around 7 ill leave my friends in line, and go change at my cousins house, which is around the corner, and pick us up some food on the way back.

    Ill be dressed in normal brown jedi robe with light color jedi outfit. here is a pic if ya'll want to know what i look like. http://www.pbase.com/cbuhay/image/43438934
    and again the name is Z so just feel free to yell out my name if you see me.

    I pondered a lot, and in the end I got tickets for Dunvale, since that is where I went to the midnight showing for the previous two prequels and it just seemed right to see them all at the same place. Plus, since I live in Spring and work in the Heights, First Colony is just a long way out of the way... Anyway, I hope we all have fun and if anyone else does happen to go to Dunvale, see you there!

    I'll be at Edwards (I-10) wearing a T-Shirt and I'm debating on if I want to carry one of my saber props.

    Here's a picture of the shirt I'm going to wear:

    I'm going to be wearing the "Lake" dress from EpII, the one that's pastel from when Anakin and Padme first kiss. My hair will be up but it's blonde, and I should be getting there around 2:30-3. Can't wait to see you all!!

    I'm not going to the IMAX, going to see EP3 at one of the regular screens. I will found out what screen number when I pick up the tickets tommorow.

    I had originally planned on going in a jedi outfit, but plans fell through.

    I have been trying to locate more recent pictures of me, but think they all got lost in the dark void known as my room. In the mean time for those who don't know me, I do have a pic on my website taken from either the first or second FF meeting before we became official. It's of me and my best friend who is one of the people joining me for the midnight showing.

    Since my ticket is for the giant (Imax) screen I most likely won't stand in line until around 10:00 or 11:00 (to me there is no bad seat in that room), so I might go see if I can spot any others from this board in the other lines tonight.

    BTW, my name is Danny

    For those that are going to AMC Gulfpoint, get there early!! As of this morning 9 screens are already sold out and they added 4 more screens for a total of 16 (they only had 12 screens showing yesterday).

    I'll be getting there around 5:30 maybe earlier....don't want to be too far back. I sure hope they seperate the lines by theater, cause that's more theaters then Phantom or Clones and those midnight shows were packed, and getting in was nuts!

    OnlyOneCanKnowMe, that?s great. I?m sure the chair and the cooler will be used. Thanks for bring those. Glad your dress is ready. Someone should take pics. And I?m not dressing up, primarily because I get so hot this time of year, but I?m looking forward to seeing everyone who does. That was one of the most fun things the first two times seeing people with great costumes. :) I think anyone that?s too much less dedicated won?t be going to a midnight showing of the movie during the week. heh heh. Looking forward to seeing you this afternoon!

    Robnhud, glad you got your wife to come! Good! Soon as you get there, go ahead and try and join us wherever we?re at in line. Since most of us, eight or more, will be there before five, I don?t think a couple people getting there a little later will be a big deal. Unless someone throws a royal hissy fit, you can join us in line. If someone does throw a fit, it?s no matter. We WILL save your seats. A couple people coming a little later and getting in with their group further up in the line, isn?t going to change the seating arrangement. I don?t think it will be a problem, but like we told David, those of us who do get there first before anyone else, WILL hold good seats inside for those that are a little further back in the line. We?ll sit two to a seat if we have to and I don?t think anyone will try to physically move someone from a seat, plus it?s customary for people who are further up in line to things like this, to save seats for their friends who are a little behind them in line, so they can sit together. And if not, just let them try to move me. :) Like David said, the theater is going to try to keep people in line order by how they arrive in line, but even if no one coming later can join those of us early in line, we will save you seats inside so you can sit with us. Definitely. Just let us know when you get there so we know for sure how many seats to hold when we get in the theater and have a firm count. See you there! Allen, btw. I keep forgetting to close posts with my name. Sorry about that. See you there.

    Z of Sith, if they do it like the last two times, people waiting in line for the midnight showing will be able to use the rest rooms anytime they need. The people working at that AMC have been VERY nice the first two times and I don?t see any reason it would change this time. And that?s fine about the line, I just wanted to make sure. You or any of your four friends that get there really early can join us in the line, and then you can get seats close to us if you want. Shouldn?t be any problem I don?t think. :)

    DarthStryphe, can?t wait! :) The time is close. I think things will be easy when we?re there. I?m not worried about the line thing, since even if they keep people in line order when they arrive, those of us early and first in the auditorium will be able to save seats inside for those later in line. I?m not a bit worried about that. See you soon!

    TI1420, that?s a good idea. I don?t know if I have something that could double as a name tag though. Have to look. I?ll be in tan shorts and a white T-shirt though and we?ll be sitting in Texas flag camping chairs with a small green cooler. Shouldn?t be too many people fitting that criteria. :)

    Jedi Knight Jonus, that stinks! I?m really sorry. You might call around to the local ones around you, there may well be a stray ticket here or there. I?m sorry about that.

    Allen.

    Well...

    I do not know anyone in this forum as I just joined, but I will be one of the many waiting to see ROTS released in NW Houston at the AMC Willobrook location.

    From what I understand there are going to be 12 screens showing the film tonight. I really dont care which one I am in, just that I am able to enjoy the movie and experience the energy with my fellow SW fans!

    If anyone is going to attend tonight at the AMC Willobrook location and wants to touch base, feel free to email me at dost.begros@gmail.com and we can discuss identification and meeting location.

    For our First Colony attendees, Allen just called. So far, no line as such. They are moving the early arrivals inside. Also, Robnhud and Z, they said we might be able to join Allen up front after all.

    Lastly, they have hot dogs and popcorn for a dollar each, just for the occasion. Well, this is it! Have fun, everyone.
