[sudoroom] Paramount and Ghostbusters

[Eddan Katz]

i admit that it was me, aestetix. I guess we talked to the same person. I still think we can plan to do something spontaneous, like announce an after party at 2135 Broadway during the credits, or something like that.

the other several bits of information I got were that when the box office opens at 6 that night, it's cash only. the tickets are available at the box office for $5 by credit too, and online for a little more than that ($3 ticket, $2 processing fee, and some other kind of fee maintenance fee).

I also found out that capacity at the Paramount is about 3,000 people (http://www.paramounttheatre.com/specs.html), so we should be fine.

for those enthusiastic about the ghostbusters theme, maybe we can meet tomorrow night at the Jack London Square waterfront. They're having one of their outdoor summer movie nights tomorrow - and it's free! They're showing Ghostbusters. (http://www.jacklondonsquare.com/eventDetail.php?Waterfront-Flicks---Ghostbusters-220) 
I kid you not.

HOWEVER, the lady said it would be ok if we got there a little early and worked something out with whoever was running the box office to have a row set aside, provided there was someone there making sure sudo room people know where to go, and once we're all in, nobody is excluded from a seat if they don't have space. Also, there are 14 seats in a row, so if people want to get presales, it would be good to have a definite number to work with.

She did also mention that for something like Ghostbusters they might have a line as early as 6 (doors open at 7) to get in, so if someone wants to come with me a little before 6 to make sure things are worked out, I would appreciate it. I figure worst case scenario, we get a row full of friends, and then maybe some new people who might want to join. This sounds like it could be lots of fun!
