Title: Transformers get together 7/06/07
Post by: TomtheFanboy on June 19, 2007, 04:54:31 pm
It worked out really well for Pirates, who wants to join us for the Transformers movie in a couple weeks? I'm sure we can take over at least ONE whole row this time!

We have a little more time to plan now, but I still think that a later showing on Friday Night will work the best for everyone involved. There's no convention meeting that weekend so you don't have to worry about missing that by sleeping in.  :wink:

Cedar Hills Crossing seemed to work for everyone. I think we should meet up there again. We can probably arrange more rides from the MAX line as well if need be.

That would be cool to go and see.  I was pretty excited when I heard they were making this movie.  It happened to be one of my favorite toys as child.

Well we need it to be after 8, so how about the 9:20 showing?
That work for everyone?

I'll hop on Fandango as soon as we have confirmation. If you can pay me back in cash at the theater I may be able to pick you up a ticket.

Oh right it doesn't have to be after 8 anymore because I probably can't go just fyi if you were doing it for me <3  And if I can I get out of work at 6 that day so I can do the same time as last time if we wanted to

OK so we have Jaz and Chris, Mustash, dakrum, and kylite confirmed so far. Anyone else going to make it out to Beaverton tis Friday to see the movie with us? I want confirmations before I buy tickets tonight.

I am going to be getting out of work around 4 that day but Vallie actually works later so I don't know how easily she'll be getting there. Once I know for sure when she gets out of work I'll re-post with the showtime. It will be either 8:30 or 9:20

Can't wait to find out when we shall be going.  I've never really done anything with you guys and so this will be my first time.  Now where will we be meeting at before heading to the movie?  Also if there is anybody who needs a ride from Salem that will be where I'm coming from.
Title: Transformers get together 7/06/07
Post by: TomtheFanboy on July 02, 2007, 10:51:26 pm
OK, so since nobody complained I am officially changing the time to 8:30pm.
We'll be meeting some time after 4 PM outside the theater or.... in the lobby of the theater. Someplace we can sit in line for our showing.

I get off work at 4 you see, but I live like less than a mile from the theater so it won't take me long to get there. (I love rides though!)

Vallie will be working in Tualatin in the Bridgeport village until 5. She can ride the bus because I'm buying he a cool bus pass with foil and sparkles, but getting a ride from someone would be really cool. Hint hint.
(btw, Bridgeport Village is right off of I-5, thus on the way from Salem)

The movie will probably start seating between 7:45 and 8:00. So I highly suggest you guys show up at 7:30 at the latest. I will not be buying Fandango tickets tonight because I don't actually have a printer at home. I'm going to have to do it at work in the morning. So guess what, you guys have a little more time.

I'm going to buy a ticket for myself and Vallie. I can probably afford two other tickets as long as y'all have cash on Friday night.

I could give Vallie a ride. I live like 2 blocks from Bridgeport, it's actually my freeway exit. What stores does she work at?


Rock.  The place I'll be working at is actually the Country Insurance office.  I'm temping as a receptionist there.  

Since it's somewhat difficult to find though, if you meet me in front of Wild Oats at 5pm, that would work out fine.  There's the big parking lot and everything right there.  


Jason, we're going to the Century 16 Cedar Hills Crossing.  Address is 3200 SW Hocken Avenue Beaverton, OR 97005.  Their Fandago site is here:  http://www.fandango.com/century16cedarhillscrossing_aatbx/theaterpage

Well printed my ticket.  I will be getting off work at 5pm so I should get there around 6pm.  As my first time getting together with you guys and sense Tom has always been kind enough to share Pocky I'll buy a bunch of popcorns for everybody if that is alright.
Title: Transformers get together 7/06/07
Post by: TomtheFanboy on July 04, 2007, 12:34:05 pm
OK, I will be buying a ticket for myself, Mustash, and Vallie. The rest of you will need to take care of it on your own.

I will be able to bring a little Pocky to share but nothing fancy. It keeps melting on the road. :(

Anybody else going to be there early?

For those of you busing it here's the best routes. The 62 bus runs right past the theater and runs between the Sunset Transit Center and Washington Square Mall, it connects up with the Millikan Way MAX stop as well. If you can get to one of those places then the 62 will drop you off just a parking lot away from the theater.

For those of you in Portland, I suggest taking the MAX to Millikan Way or taking the 20 to Beaverton. The 20 takes you down Cedar Hills Blvd, which is directly behind the shopping center that the theater is a part of (Cedar Hills Crossing). If you come from the 20 bus, then I suggest going into the mall by the MAC Store and Starbucks. and then walking through the mall to get to the theater on the other side.

Here's the website for the shopping center if you'd like more information on the area around the theater.

And wish I could go hang out with you guys, but gotta work Friday night.

Title: Transformers get together 7/06/07
Post by: TomtheFanboy on July 04, 2007, 09:46:47 pm
I'm not expecting lines to be that long. I just want to make sure we're there early enough if there are big lines. Even if there isn't a line we'll want to get in first to make sure we can get our row*. Nothing wrong with hanging out with your friends for a couple of hours!

Most fans will have seen it tonight. with a few more people watching it Thursday. However, a Friday Night is always going to be busy. I doubt they'll sell out of tickets but it's always good to "Be Prepared".

I am on Fandango right now buying tickets for Vallie, Mustash, Kendo Chris, Jaz, and myself.


*I know everybody has 3/4 back ingrained in their heads but since the development of stadium seating I believe that the row behind the first guardrail is the best one in the theaters where there are two sections.

Just to say it, Dak, if you're taking trimet to meet up with me and Mustash, it probably would be easier/faster for you to take the max to Sunset Transit Center, catch the 62, and just go straight to the theater.  The 62 runs like every 20 minutes or so, and drops off right in front of the theater.  

If you still want to meet up with me and Mustash though, meet up with us at the Tigard Transit Center at 5-ish.  You can get there via the 12 from Portland.

One more thing to look ofrward to seeing tonight.
The end result of Tom cutting his own hair.

It's not that bad but I think that if I had a decent mirror and a trimmer that wasn't held together with tape I could do a decent job. As it turns out I've just got a couple of spots where its uneven.

You know, not that it's that bad at all, but...  

One of the last times I witnessed a small child cutting their own hair, I remember one of their parents saying to them, "Well now you're just going to have to go to school like that."

I was so tempted to say that to him as he was leaving for work this morning, but I bit my tounge.  *L*  

Mostly also because he wanted me to help and I had no idea what I was doing and I was afraid of making it worse.

The most important thing for everyone to know is that Greyman actually looks like his avatar.



It was kind of funny waiting in line there for so long when nobody was there, but about a half hour before they started seating the line exploded and had about 50 people behind us!

Someone even called the manager because we were <b>saving seats</b>
It was really funny how childish people are and how they can't have a conversation with you over something like that. It was even funnier when the usher came over and completely buckled when I gave him a tiny drop of attitude.

Since when are you not allowed to save seats for people? WTF?

Yeah it was funny when they had the usher come and tell us that we couldn't save seats.  I have yet to figure what they were going to do.  We could at one point name every person that was going to sit in those seats.

Post by: TomtheFanboy on July 11, 2007, 07:44:06 am
Exactly. the sequel needs to be Constructicons versus Dinobots.

"Me Grimlock say movie continuity can kiss my titanium rump!"

Unfortunately it will probably involve Starscream returning with Astrotrain or something and Optimus Prime making the power matrix to contain the Allspark.

As long as they don't pull out Unicron right away aI'll be happy.

Strike that, as long as they don't do Unicron or BEAST WARS I'll be happy.

Nope, no shockwave.
Soundwave was always my favorite but since they were trying to make them all "to scale" they couldn't have a walkman get 30 feet tall.
