With my limited knowledge? Maybe Gray's Papaya on 7th

I'll try to scare up a few more restaurants in the Times Square area, but they'll probably be expensive as fuck unless you want to broaden the radius.

That's what I'm all for. times Square eating I've been there and done that but the prices are insane. We definately need to braoden the search radius.

Olive Garden in Times Square isn't that expensive. Then again, there's something to be said for the various theater diners around TS. All of them are good and not too overpriced.

So the general plan seems to be arrive Friday the 19th and see the movie/eat+do sighteeing/other stuff on Saturday the 20th?

If I can get off work on Friday the 19th (it's an 8-hour drive or so from Buffalo) and find a place to stay that isn't too pricey, I'd love to come.

EDIT: Took care of my irritating online grammar mistakes.

If the plan is come in 19...see movie on 20th(along with other things in between the two...most likely I'm catching a really early train). No sweat...just need to where stuff is going on persay.

Basically I leave 21st very early...so not to miss friend's birthday.

Don't know. I've got to talk it over with Rob and come up with something, that I'll post to the site. I was under the impression that Friday would be the dinner, meetup, etc, then Saturday would be the actual film watching. That way people who couldn't make it on Friday would still be able to horn in on the film watching. But whatever, we'll get some kind of consensus and post it on the site.

As long as the get-together on Fri. isn't too early (IE: before mid-afternoon, no doubt) I'll be able to make it with time to spare. That, though, is assuming I'll be able to get the day off. But I'm confidant I'll be able to.

Ok, I have a suggestion: can one person buy all the tickets and then be reimbursed, rather than make everyone stand in line (and face the risk of not getting the ticket)?

Have a very nice day.

Negative! That's just too much risk and hassel for one person to bear. We're going with a place that has on-line tickets. Rob and I will save your seat, but you have to get your own tickets in advance. I think this is the fairest for everyone involved.

How about a mass emailing/PMing to everyone involved with a link to the online vendor so we all buy tickets at roughly the same time, ensuring that don't get a sold-out show and thus left-out SD.netters?

Yeah, that is a distinct possibility. Most places sell tickets 30 days before the showing, so we're looking to get tickets on 11/19/03.

Have we figured out a time to see the movie on Saturday?~Jason

aronkerkhof · Post by **aronkerkhof** » 2003-10-08 03:37pm

No, because movie times haven't been released yet. In fact, since the running time hasn't been officially released, it would be impossible for theaters to schedule showing times right now. November 1 Rob and I will begin contact theaters to determine the exact showtime, but until then, what do you think, Rob? Mid afternoon? Closest to three o'clock we can get?

Soontir C'boath · Post by **Soontir C'boath** » 2003-10-08 03:41pm

Okay, it was a stupid question anyway. At the moment I thought I hadKaplan to worry about.....but we're doing this in Dec.

Seems good, maybe try for matinee prices.

CmdrWilkens · Post by **CmdrWilkens** » 2003-10-08 04:09pm

If its running time is clocking in around the 4hr predictions then we might be looking at at 3:30 - 4:00 show as the best possibility short of the typical 11-12 first showings.

aronkerkhof · Post by **aronkerkhof** » 2003-10-13 01:04am

I just updated the site.

http://www.galactec.com/neolith/content ... e=lotr-nyc

It has the latest plan information, including the revised dates, mention of the dinner, and a link to the HRC we're thinking of going to. That link has everything you'll possibly need to get your sorry carcass to that location.

As always, comments, suggestions, improvements welcome, and let me know if anything can be clarified. More info as we get it...

You can put me on the maybe list. I won't know for sure until my vacation day is approved.

Done.

Tickets are currently being sold at a few locations. Just a headsup. http://www.moviefone.com/showtimes/movi ... 9&x=18&y=7

What theater are we going to? It's time to decide, since the tickets are already on sale.

Have a very nice day.

We're leaning towards Loews E-walk, which is on E. 34th street. Sadly, it doesn't look like there are any times available yet.

Post by **Dalton** » 2003-11-30 07:31pm

OK folks, looks like movie showtimes are beginning to become available. Check out Lordoftherings.net on the top right. The ZIP code is 10036, but tickets for Loews E-Walk aren't avaliable yet...?

Soontir C'boath · Post by **Soontir C'boath** » 2003-11-30 11:09pm

I'm not sure but is this theatre near NYU?~Jason

CmdrWilkens · Post by **CmdrWilkens** » 2003-12-01 04:22pm

Fandango.com lists the following ROTK show times for the 20th:

9:00 am
1:30 pm
6:10 pm
10:50 pm

I'm betting that we're looking at the 1:30 then eh?
