Serenity premiere plans  
Before I forget, because my brain is a sieve after all, I thought I'd post here 'cause most of the folks I'm meeting up with to stalk the stars go to the premiere with either read this or know someone who does so...

Premiere starts at 9 in Edinburgh, some of the Glasgow peeps are working until 5 and since there's going to be seven weegies (or is it weegees?) heading over it makes sense if we do it all at once. (And since UIP completely disregarded the train times or anything when they made the plans for the screening, we're going to have to do the driving thing!) So the plan at the moment is that I meet [livejournal.com profile] engelsteorra at the library when she finishes work, we head down to the underground station (Hillhead Underground) and meet [livejournal.com profile] smileawhile, [livejournal.com profile] acrazywench and Glasgow Becks and Cath there (and possibly [livejournal.com profile] engelsteorra's brother?) and go get something to eat. Then we all pile into two cars - mine and [livejournal.com profile] engelsteorra's - and hope we've missed most of the rush hour traffic. [livejournal.com profile] engelsteorra might end up with me tailgating her the whole way to Edinburgh since she knows the road and I don't really...

We get to Edinburgh, hopefully around 7.30ish and meet [livejournal.com profile] rileysaplank, [livejournal.com profile] willowmina and the infamous Ben.

Does that sound like a plan to everyone?

Oh and [livejournal.com profile] smileawhile and [livejournal.com profile] engelsteorra - you do know the Tuesday Reel Life thing starts at 5pm, don't you?

Other randomness - Wonderfalls is currently rocking my socks! I got the dvds on Monday and watched four episodes back to back last night. Only three to go before it's all over... Why, oh why was this show ever cancelled?! And I got the okay to post late to [livejournal.com profile] whedon100 so I might be in an iconing frenzy tonight... of course the fact that I should really be cleaning my house since [livejournal.com profile] acrazywench'll be looking for a place to stay at least one of the nights is completely incidental. Becks, you like spiders, right? *g*

Heh! Emergency dental appointments are always a good one with me...

sounds like a plan... where to meet though is the question. We're arriving quarter to three-ish in Edinburgh, and I think we'll grab something to eat before meeting up (that okay with you, Andy?)
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on August 19th, 2005 05:43 am (UTC)
No idea. [livejournal.com profile] engelsteorra and I were planning on parking as close to the cinema as possible (hopefully in the carpark there) and I don't really know the area. [livejournal.com profile] rileysaplank's the local boy, maybe he can suggest somewhere?

(I'll try to make sure I'm signed into YIM at some point tonight btw)
[identity profile] rileysaplank.livejournal.com on August 19th, 2005 07:54 am (UTC)
From where your hotel is I think the best place to meet up is the cinema as it's only a mile from your hotel to the Cinema. Directions are here. (http://www.theaa.com/travelwatch/inc/planner_places_redirect.jsp) There's a restaurant beside the cinema, I think it's Spanish, or Mexican. If you don't fancy that I'm sure the reception desk at the hotel can help you out with places to eat in the local area.

I'm going to head in as soon as possible, get something to eat in there. And Sho remember the traffic in Edinburgh is going to be more than normal because of all the festivals going on. Hopefully you'll get in for 7:30 but I wouldn't be surprised if it's nearer 8 before you arive.

Okay, so that link just takes you to the main page. To get directions the Hotel's postcode is EH12 5JG and the Cinema's postcode is EH11 1AF.

Otherwise you can just follow this:


Start out at EH12 5JG,Coates A8
Haymarket Gyratory A8
Continue forward onto Morrison Link Morrison Link
Turn right onto West Approach Road West Approach Road
Arrive at EH11 1AF,Fountainbridge

Have fun!
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on August 19th, 2005 05:41 am (UTC)
Thanks! I'm so excited about this I'm annoying everyone about it - sorry!
[identity profile] engelsteorra.livejournal.com on August 19th, 2005 05:38 am (UTC)
Sounds good to me. So how many people am I booking a table for? (I get easily confused). And I'm fine with the Reel Life thing, I plan on taking the afternoon off, fingers crossed that's OK......

And re:Wondefalls, it truly is AWESOME. But then you already know that I agree with you there :o) .
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on August 19th, 2005 05:41 am (UTC)
If Paul's coming for food then it'll be seven I think. You, me, Denise, Cath, Paul and the two Becks.

Want me to mention to L about you taking Tuesday off?

And I wish I'd taken a half day so I could be watching the last three episiodes of Wonderfalls right now!

Grr.
Sooooo envious.
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on August 19th, 2005 06:00 am (UTC)
Re: Grr.
Awww... tell you what, if you wait by the fire escape I'll see if I can smuggle you in. 'Kay?

:)

Re: Grr.
Okay! I only need to get my passport, the money for an overseas flight and...

Hmmm... Don't think I'm going to make it. Damn.

Have fun at that premiere!

Screening actually starts at 9:30 Sho, unless you're planning on seeing another film from me.

And how pissed am I now, because of my managers cock up and me now taking Tuesday off, I could have gone to the Reel Life talk from Joss.

Going to be up in Edinburgh at both these things.
Can't wait, so excited.
Anyway, maybe I'll see some of you around there.
Will be a great couple of days
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on August 21st, 2005 02:04 am (UTC)
Are you going with others? We should definitely meet up!
[identity profile] bob-bobbing.livejournal.com on August 21st, 2005 05:54 am (UTC)
Working up in Edinburgh at the minute and then going along with a few people from work.
Definitely should meet up.
Think that we are going to be hanging around the cinema early so will probably see you around as we attempt to loiter and nt look suspicious :-)
What are you doing before the film?
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on August 21st, 2005 06:44 am (UTC)
Depending on what time we get there I'm thinking we'll also be hanging around loitering and trying not to look suspicious...

New plan pre-film. Pub across the road called the Fountain - we're meeting in there, along with a bunch of other UK Browncoats. [livejournal.com profile] willowmina's journal has the details on how to get there from the cinema.
[identity profile] bob-bobbing.livejournal.com on August 21st, 2005 01:21 pm (UTC)
Thanks, hopefully see you there.
