Our Descent Upon the Exhibit! Calling all U.S. PNW Members!

[mikkowilson]

Membership purchased online takes 48 hours. I chose not to wait and risk a sellout; so I just purchased the tickets at full price. (Members get a discount on both of the TWO events at JBL that day).

As I mentioned above; JBL is 191 seats. That's not very big; and for a star headlined event like this; that's nothing.

Not sure If I'll get a membership for all the other fun stuff they are offering. I figured I'd ask the rest of the group here about that first.

Didn't I tell ya'all? (No, not really.)

Well, of course: Ticket purchased.

[mikkowilson]

Aaron, to both events, or just one?

I purchased my panel tickets yesterday .... didn't go with the membership option because I had no idea of all of the Saturday morning member's benefits that were offered. It sure sounds tempting though!

Just the Actors' Experience, although if I can work out the timing, I'll try to do both. I'll probably buy the Pandora ticket anyway and just hope I can figure things out.

I just purchased the Avatar: the Actor's Experience but decided not to do the membership. It would have been nice but I feel I would get more enjoyment with the actor's panel instead. I can WAIT for this one!! HELL YEAH!!!

What's the plan? I'm basically going to just buy my tickets now to both.

Ok, maybe I am a "Skxawng" here, just a question I purchased the actor's experience but do I also have to pay for the "actual exhibition" separately and where do I find the link for that? Or does the actor's experience include the exhibition as well? Irayo for any info on that.

[mikkowilson]

I'd guess the exhibition is different.

Kaltxi folks - Wow a flurry of activity here

I must admit I was a bit miffed when I found out we would not be able to get into the exhibition until 12:00, especially when we have all travelled so far to be there. Paying $50 for an extra 3 hours seems a bit excessive when we will probably not be visiting again. Having seen the morning activities for 'members' they do seem more family orientated.

But, hey ho. At least the panel discussions make up for that. I must say Irayo to CyanRachel who purchased my panel tickets at the same time as hers. Irayo ma tsmuke

Well, not long now until I take to my Ikran and start my adventure to you land. Just one day at work to go...talking of which I must dash!

Kiyevameeee.....

[mikkowilson]

Are there going to be any more e-mail news-letters?
I for one wouldn't mind some for of "last things" e-mail with latest details, and perhaps a general schedule of what's going on all in one place.

And it probably wouldn't hurt to get the word out to everyone about those panel discussions ASAP.

- Mikko

[James of terra]

who is going to both , or 1 or none of the panels???

[Aketuan]

Ok, wow a lot has happened here. I bought my tickets yesterday a while back. Here is the official report from Kristen at the SFM

"I am have some very exciting news for you – we are about to announce our opening day panels and I wanted to send the info your way first! Here they are!

Avatar: the Actors’ Experience
Join us for a star-studded insider look into the making of James Cameron’s Avatar with principal cast members Michelle Rodriguez (Trudy Chacon), Giovanni Ribisi (Parker Selfridge), CCH Pounder (Mo’at), and Laz Alonso (Tsu’tey). Hear from the actors themselves what it was like to act in a virtual world, utilizing new filmmaking technologies, and be a part of the highest-grossing movie of all time. Exhibition curator Brooks Peck will lead the intimate discussion with the actors and take questions from the audience.

$40 EMP members, $50 general admission for Avatar: The Actors’ Experience. Tickets available at Brownpapertickets.

3:00 PM
Pandora: The Creation of a New World
Dive into the vivid world of James Cameron’s Avatar. From alien landscapes and magnificent bioluminescent creatures, to the rich Na’vi culture and the groundbreaking technical advancements that made it all possible, this discussion will look at the many facets of creating Avatar and the process of translating decades of vision into big-screen blockbuster magic. Here to share their insights will be, Yuri Bartoli (Virtual Art Director), Terry Notary (Movement Choreographer), and Glenn Derry (Virtual Production Supervisor), moderated by exhibition curator Brooks Peck.


$15 EMP members, $20 general admission for Pandora: The Creation of a New World. Tickets available at Brownpapertickets.



I would like to encourage memberships of course, because they will lower the ticket cost for these events and as I mentioned before, get you into the exhibit earlier. There are only 180 seats in our theater, so it will be a pretty amazing experience! Please spread the word!



Best,
Kristen"


Anyway, I think all of us should buy the panel tickets ASAP and NOT buy membership seeing as most people think this is the way to go.

I will be sending out a newsletter tomorrow detailing the panels and all of the final info.
