Hey Tremblayans,

It's a lovely Saturday in spring (and we're all inside talking to eachother here--LOL)...What more could be better? Well, here's the return to the topic of having a DVD Release Screening Party!!

I seem to remember that some Chicagoans were talking about this, and that we mentioned doing it the weekend of the 16th--which is Easter weekend. I and many others have the day off on Good Friday, making it a very good weekend for travel.

If others from NY can share the driving and gas expenses, I might be up for doing a road trip or possibly getting a plane ticket to go to Chicago. There's a lot of Brokies here in NYC, and then there's the Connecticut bunch too--Paul and David and others I think. Maybe David studly and Brandon and littleguitar Mandy (I think you're from the mid-west right?) could also make it. And maybe even Nicole from Toronto! Who knows, we could have a huge crowd!

So, I'm just thinkin outloud....what do y'all say??

I would absolutely LOVE to, and I'd like to submit my vote for Chicago, but ARG!! Not Easter weekend! I have that Friday off too and I was going to go home (far away!) that weekend! Any other time people could make it?

Well, I am going away the next weekend, the 21st..so the 8th and 9th would be the other obvious choice, but that is only in a week!

We could do it late April, I guess. And reschedule the NY Brunch.

April 8th would be about the earliest we could do it and get our DVDs in time. Course I have the advance copy of the DVD, but who knows how real it is.

OK, I need to stop being selfish. You're right, that would be a good weekend for people to travel. I can go home some other weekend. If people fly into O'Hare, I could probably pick them up, it's only like 20-30 minutes from my school.

Jenny,

Due to Horrible Demands at Work and Inflexible Deadlines, I can't plan on traveling in the next six weeks--my chain just doesn't reach that far.

I remain, though, totally excited by by the notion of a 'social opportunity' in the way of Brunch in the meanwhile--do see all my well-meaning (if possibly lame) suggestions on the NY Brunch thread!

 ;D

Jenny, I can't make any promises about Easter weekend, as I'll still be working and may have rehearsals.  So even if we do something in the city, I'll have to let you know.  Hope you can work something out!

i can't travel anywhere more than a couple hours away, but if it's in chicago, you can put me down on the list with courtney for people willing to play chauffeur.

yep, I'm about a 5 hour drive from chicago, can't make any promises (my brother is in town that weekend...) but I'd love to come! Keep me updated!
