TK8776 jgarrettg Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Hey Guys, do any of you have any big events planned for the Fanboys opening night? Looks like I'm going to have to load up the party bus and head for San Francisco. Quote
slave1pilot Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 It's also playing here in L.A. Mann's & the Arclight SCG is gonna be trooping Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Might be headed to SF on Friday. Quote
Runnriottt Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 I might make the event in Chitown. Fingers crossed. Quote
TK8776 jgarrettg Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Posted February 3, 2009 Might be headed to SF on Friday. Any idea where in SF you're heading? I'm having trouble locating movie times and locations. Quote
TK8776 jgarrettg Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Posted February 4, 2009 Finally! I got the show time info. Reserved a hotel room for the weekend and bought my movie tickets. Road Trip! Quote
bobby fletcher Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 I personally Have zero interest in the movie let alone trooping for it. It makes star wars fans look like The highest level of losers.... <_< Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 Looks like I am not going to make it this weekend. Quote
TK-8687[TK] Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 i'm kinda pissed they haven't released it in any other cities and states! hopefully opening weekend will bring in a lot of money and they'll be able put it out in more theaters! to everyone that does see it, let us know how it is!

tkrestonva[TK] Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 We discussed trooping this on our Garrison board. Aside from the fact it's not playing nearby, there was an overriding concern regarding the potential for physical abuse by non-fanboys. Given the very high nerd-factor, we came to the conclusion that it just wasn't safe to troop this in costume, at least not without having some large, mean-looking, violence-prone, non-costumed handlers accompanying us. Anyone else have this concern, or are we being excessively paranoid? Quote
TK8776 jgarrettg Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Posted February 5, 2009 Have you guys run into this kind of trouble before? God forbid anybody messes with me while I'm trooping. Something might happen that gets me kicked out of the legion. Not in front of the kids though. Might have to drag them into an alley. Quote
TK8776 jgarrettg Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Posted February 9, 2009 Well we hit the road, rumbled with some Trekies and a couple of snow storms. Stormed the ranch and saw the movie. What a blast. I thought it was great fun. I absolutely loved the movie. Can't wait to see it again. We met up with some guys from the Golden Gate Garrison and the Rebel Legion that were trooping the movie. I'll post some pictures when I get home tonight. Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Can't wait to see the pics John! Glad you had a good time, I can't wait to see the movie. Quote
TK8776 jgarrettg Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Posted February 10, 2009 Here's those pics I promised. A couple of Guys from the Golden Gate Garrison. I attempted to introduce myself and asked them if they ever came by the FISD but all the questions made them nervous. They probably couldn't hear me very well under their helmets anyway. The next day we went over to the Letterman Digital Arts Center to hang out with Yoda. This is were Licensing, ILM and Lucas Arts live now. Then up to the Big Rock Ranch down the road from Sky Walker Ranch. Licensing used to live here. Not sure what's going on there now but I have seen pictures of Dave Filoni out in front of this facility. Maybe that's were he's working these days. We spent the morning hiking the hills behind Big Rock. Then went down to geek out around the front gate of Sky Walker Ranch. Overall it was a fun weekend and a funny movie. If you get a chance to go see it, I highly recommend it. You'll laugh your a$$ off. Quote
dougefresh Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 No photos of Kristen Belle in the slave Leia outfit? I think you totally mised the point of the movie, buddy. Quote
