I was really hoping that they would be showing it for the duration of the exhibition to allow an opportunity for a mini meet up....

Is there a particular day being organised for a meet up at the Exhibition? We could end up with Avatar fans turning up on different days and missing each other.

If there was a particular day all those thinking of going could meet that would be great, especially if Avatar 3D was showing that day too.

Aw, they should have made that info available sooner.

[ahoragi]

I emailed them saying that we were notified late and wondering if they could show it during the last week of the exhibition to allow us, fans, to gather a meet-up, to see the movie. Let's hope they can do it.

[Fiyerwall]

I hope so as well. I'd love to have a mini meet-up and if we can work this out, I'm definitely going native.

[Alan]

Oh, wow, this is sooo coool! I feel a bit of a meet up coming on!

Yeah, its a shame they didn't let us know sooner about them showing Avatar 3D as it takes a bit of time to gather the clan.

Great stuff to contact them ahoragi! Lets hope they seriously consider doing another showing. I guess there are two directions we could take: Just organise a meet up on the last weekend (18th-19th May) and hope they show Avatar, or wait until we get confirmation if the museum are going to show Avatar first. Duno?

Would it be worth continuing this discussion regarding a possible meet up at the exhibition on the thread linked below, which CyanRachel started last week, regarding a Meet Up at the museum?

That's where I've been looking lately. Perhaps we should keep all the information in one spot just to keep things simple and to prevent somebody from missing something.

Terri, I know it is probably far too late for suggestions such as this, but you have a motion simulator at the Liberty Science Center and IMO, that seems like the perfect thing for simulated Ikran flights if possible.

Sorry about the short notice on the movie but it took awhile to confirm it.

That's a neat idea though, as you said, it's kind of short notice. I'll pass along that thought anyway.

By the way, I'm also totally in love with the digital concept-art table from the exhibition. I'm a complete sucker for anything augmented reality.

I hope you have better luck getting into the Expedition Pandora show. However, after today (Tuesday, February 19), it's only going to show on weekends. I still recommend it though. It's full of all sorts of neat little Easter Eggs.

I have yet to receive a reply to my email.

Highs and lows:

Highs:
1. The touchscreen that allows you to see digital paintings of various Avatar related things. Best part of the exhibit right there IMO.
2. Seeing Avatar in a movie theater. Always a positive and always appreciated. The shallow stairs are also certainly appreciated by someone like prematurely arthritic me. I'm sure the one kid who was on crutches probably appreciated them too.
3. The documentary style video presentations.
4. The props, especially Neytiri's bow & arrow. That arrow is as long as I am tall (at least) and I'm 6'.

Lows:
1. I got there at 2 P.M. and the tickets for the four o'clock showing of whatever that was on the first floor (Tour of Pandora? I don't know.) were already gone. I'll probably try again on Wednesday.
2. The red screen scene. I didn't try it, but I was watching some kids do this and the final product looked terrible.

Admittedly, the final product isn't great; the software was doing all kinds of crazy things in Seattle. It is nice to have a basic version of the software to play around with though.

I received a reply today

Chris,

I apologize for the delayed response, its been a busy week and I missed your email! Is there a particular date that you had in mind to arrange this showing for? Although we currently only have Avatar 3D on our schedule for this week, we do have the option to arrange other dates (if available). For your informaiton, it is showing in our J.D. Williams 3D theater, which has a maximum capacity of 279. Hope to hear from you soon!


Best Regards,

Anne M. Ryan
Associate Director of the Box Office

So I guess it's a matter of coming up with a specific date and I'll notify her?

Cool! Just so happens I also sent a PM to TerriB on the same subject! Great news that they would be willing to see if they can show Avatar again.

Well I don't know what anyone else thinks but I would say the last weekend of the exhibition would be a really good time, i.e. 18th and 19th May.

This would give the maximum amount of time for things to be planned like hotels, transport etc, and allow people to make arrangmenets to join in the mini-meet. It will also hopefully be a little warmer for anyone wanting to do cosplay too.

Well, that is what I would suggest. The other thing is that it would also enable me to come across the pond too and say Kaltxi to ma eylan.

By the way, a heads up for Terri. As of yesterday, the headphones on, I think it was "the Sounds of Avatar", each of the headphones has only one working ear.
