Stardust: Saturday, August 11

[netmouse]

Jeff has suggested an evening outing to see Stardust on Saturday. It comes out on Friday but I have dance on Friday anyway. Who's up for it? Do you have a preference for theaters? What time would you want to go? Dinner first? Where?

I suggested a Livonia theater to the Stilyagi list because it seems more central to ALL of SE Michigan Fandom than Ann Arbor, but I don't know who might come from over that way, so let me know if you might come and if you have a location preference.

I might be in for that, and would *certainly* prefer the Livonia theatres. The trailer looks like they did a good job of capturing the fairy tale feel of the story, so I'm looking forward to it.

awesome! up for dinner too? any preference for restaurant?

[delosd.livejournal.com]

That be cool. Buca would be good, though you really need to hit that place with a cooperative group. The entrees are expensive, but feed about three people (seriously!) so sharing is mandatory.

There a "faux" Irish pub up the street which is not bad, as long as you don't expect actually authentic Irish food. (A sauce with raspberry on the bangers and mash. Shudder.) I forget the name, but could find it easily. Maybe I'll take a pass that way when I come home from work tomorrow (I work just down the road) and see what else is right there.

Save money, watch the skies!!

This made me chuckle for a moment, as Saturday is around the start of the annual Perseid meteor shower - which are, in quite a real sense, made of stardust...

Why, thank you...

I'd be interested. Preferably after 8:30 to see the movie, probably not in for dinner, but it all depends on where you go and when. ;)

Maybe carpooling for A^2 folks?

[netmouse.livejournal.com]

Carpooling? Sure. I have one space left in my car, if it's just you joining us.

[netmouse.livejournal.com]

unfortunately after the 7:10 the next showing is not until 10:10 and I don't want to stay up to midnight and then still have to drive home. So we're doing the 7:10. dinner before or after at Thai Kitchen.

May yellowmouser and I carpool with you? *bats eyelashes*

[netmouse.livejournal.com]

Of course!

I didn't suggest this, though I am excited about the movie. I'm the only Real (TM) Jeff, accept no others.

[jeffreyab.livejournal.com]

I have been Jeff since the dawn of manned space flight, how long have you been Jeff?

I can't answer this, I just found out HR depts stalk people over the internet. My name is Mudd, Harry Mudd. ;)

[dionysus1999.livejournal.com]

Longer. I was born in the summer of love.

[jeffreyab.livejournal.com]

Sorry manned space flight started in 1961 with Yuri Gagarin and the summer of love was 1967.

[logangrey.livejournal.com]

I'm definitely interested in this, probably dinner too. Keep me posted!
I'm in Ann Arbor, but willing to drive.

How about the 7:10 show?

For a restaurant how about the Thai place on Grand River?

[netmouse.livejournal.com]

Thai sounds interesting. Can you find out what time they open for dinner and if they take reservations? (and would we need one?)

Grand River is a ways away from the theater I had in mind, but that's okay with me.

For more info, they used to take reservations.

are you thinking dinner before or after the movie would be best? when can you get there?

[jeffreyab.livejournal.com]

I was planning on before.

I was planning to leave between 2 and 3 since that can be a quiet time.

Is 5 or 6 a better time?

[netmouse.livejournal.com]

I don't think 6 would give us enough time to eat and get to the theater. So we should gather at 5 or 5:30.

[jeffreyab.livejournal.com]

Let's say 5 to get everyone there by 5:30.

[netmouse.livejournal.com]

ok. can you make a post to the Stilyagi group (email and on lj) and Michiganfandom on yahoo and stilyagi on myspace?
I'm swamped right now.

[childe.livejournal.com]

I'm still definitely in. Should I head toward the restaurant then?

[netmouse.livejournal.com]
