Thanks for the note, I just checked on it and they appear to be working again. I know our exhibits team has been working really hard to maintain everything.

Just to let everyone else know, I'm going to pass the details you guys give along to the people who handle things like scheduling. I think it sounds fun though.

Irayo TerriB for forwarding the request through. Hope all comes good.

Yes, a very big Irayo to you, TerriB, for maintaining contact with us here at ToS and trying to help us out with our potential fan meet-up at the LSC!

And Alan --
I agree with you...I too think the last weekend of the exhibit (May 18 - 19) would, at this point, be the best time to have a mini-meet at the LSC, for all the reasons you mentioned. So perhaps we should tell TerriB about those dates?

[Fiyerwall]

I would also like to thank TerriB! I think that we're a very lucky group to have so many 'official' people connect with us, whether they work at museums or helped make Avatar. I think it's touched more people than we know.

I already did. Hehehe Hopefullly we will hear soon if they are able to do this for us. Although I noted that the new Star Trek movie comes out on 17th May, so they may not be able to do it then, but you never know. Fingers crossed, though.

Yeah, you said it right there ma Fiyerwall!

I actually wouldn't worry about Star Trek. If were were to show it (we haven't confirmed our summer movies yet) it would probably be in our IMAX Dome and not our 3D theater (which is the format we have for Avatar).

Again though, I would say your best best is to figure out who all will definitely go, email our sales staff (who are extremely helpful) at sales@lsc.org, and tell them that you're coming as a group (which would give you the cheaper group-rate). I believe that is also what you would need to do to arrange the movie showing but, as I said before, Anne Marie would be the one who would know for sure on that. Let me know if/when you guys email them so I can give her a heads-up.

Many thanks for getting back. It seems a bit like a 'chiclen and egg' thing! The reason being that us fans need to know if/when the LSC is going to show Avatar 3D so we can make our travel arrangements, especially as some of us are coming from overseas, like me.

On the other hand I guess the LSC need to have an idea of how many people would be coming to a meet up to see 'how worth it is' to put it on again for the fans and general public.

I've just had a quick look through this thread and various correspondence and it appears there are 'potentially' 11 who have shown an interest. There maybe more out there if it was to be confirmed that Avatar was going to be shown.

But even if you could not show Avatar due to the apparent low numbers, it would still be good to know that as we can decide if we still want to do a meet up anyway. It's just the uncertainty at the moment that is preventing people from committing. Unfortunately as time ticks away things get more expensive for us to organise flights, hotels and transport etc.

Having said all that, it would be cool to show Avatar 3D on the last Saturday anyway to give the exhibition one last send off and entice people to have a last chance look at the exhibition. Hey, it's a thought!

Once again many thanks for your time if helping us out here. It is much appreciated. Hope to hear from you soon

No worries ma CyanRachel . Just really want to see if we can make this meet up happen. We really could do with a response from the museum this week. The sooner the better, so we can start making plans.

I will be there that weekend for sure so I hope I get to see the 3D showing.

[Alan]

Kaltxì folks,

I've had a reply that I have posted in CyanRachel's New Jersey meet up thread (http://www.tree-of-souls.com/meetups...r_exhibit.html) here:

http://www.tree-of-souls.com/178661-post29.html

Think we might be close to deciding about a meet up date all being well

Alan

[Crickett]

Just a heads up for anyone who will be in the neighborhood, they are showing Avatar again between March 23rd and March 31st.

Kaltxì everyone! I thought you might like to know that it was just confirmed that we will be showing Avatar 3D for the last weekend of the Exhibition (May 18 & 19).

OH-WOW! This is the news we've all been waiting for. A massive IRAYO for forwarding the news through.

I'm hoping to post some meet up info for hotel and travel in a day or two. So stay tuned!
