Kaltxi ma aysumke si aysmukan,

It is now getting very close to Avatar finally leaving the Cinemas until Avatar 2 comes out. To mark this occasion who would be interested in a mass 'meet-up' at the IMAX cinema in Birmingham (UK).

Today I have been on the phone to the IMAX Operations Manager about having a meet up. She said Avatar will be showing for one of the last times on 5th November at 20:30.

I also mentioned that fact that we had undertaken an Avatar Communities Film Project that had resulted in 20 of us from 9 countries making our forum film, 'Our Only Home'. I then took it a stage further and asked if there was a possibility of showing our film before the start of Avatar...

Now you might think the answer would be a straight 'NO'! But it was not and she mentioned that she could see if they could put our film on at 20:15 before the start of Avatar!

Yes, that's right. Our Avatar Communities Film being shown on the same IMAX screen as Avatar - for one night only!

However, before we all get carried away and fall off our chairs, she still needs to get back to me and will hopefully confirm it this time next week. I also said I would get back to her to let her know roughly how many would be interested in attending the 'meet-up'.

We have been commuicating through this wonderful forum for many months now, and many of us have become friends. This would be a wonderful opportunity for us to finally meet face to face and share the film that brought us all together in the first place, before it is gone for good.

If there is enough interested, I will send more details through in due course.

So who would be interested in finally meeting up? This is no commitment, just a request for who would be interested in a meet-up to watch Avatar together on 5th November, with the possibility of a 'world premiere' of 'Our Only Home'.

I await your interest...

Oel ngati kameie...soon,

Alan
