Any L.A. Dopers out there with kids who’d like 4 free VIP tickets ($88 value) to see Monsters, Inc. this Saturday (November 3rd) at the El Capitan Theater for the 11:50AM show? My boss bought them to take his son and now he can’t use them.
The VIP tickets include popcorn and soda. Seats are VIP Orchestra 1, Row A, seats 107 - 110.
Oh. I don’t have kids. But, I am like a large kid. Aren’t I? I want to see this movie. And, I like toys. And, I like to spin in circles. Is that kidlike enough?
Oh well. If no kid filled people claim them, put my name in the hat, Shayna
Pat, m’dear, first come, first served. If you want them, you may have them. Now we just have to figure out how to get them to you. You still have my email address, don’t you?
I think I still have your address, Shayna. I just emailed you.
If the address I have isn’t current, my address is listed in my profile, so please send me a message, thanks.
(My kid is too young for the movies, but I want to see Monsters Inc. anyway, and my parents are pretty close to Hollywood as it is. Never been to the El Capitan before, though.)
Just checking in to say how wonderfully humorous it is that the last person to post when I read this thread was someone named “Cheap Bastid”. Jeez, offer something free and all the cheap bastards come out of the woodwork.
FYI, everyone… I’ve exchanged emails with pricciar and I think he’s just checking with his roommate (?) to see if he’s agreeable to driving down here a O’Dawn Hundred from Santa Barbara to pick up the tickets tomorrow morning. If it’s a nay, then the tix are up for grabs.
Also, just so you know, we purchased the tickets online and used their “print” option, so there aren’t 4 individual tickets that I could split up 2 and 2. If for some reason Pat can’t use them and rjung and CheapBastid each would only want 2, you guys would have to arrange to meet outside the theater and go in as one party because there’s only 1 printout that says, “Admit 4.”
My roommate is up for the drive down to pick up the tickets.
We are both pretty excited to see the movie, plus I love love love El Capitan. It is a wonderful theatre.
Anyway, my roommate and I only take up two seats. So, if you other folks want to go, that is fine by me. I don’t mind meeting outside the theatre.
Maybe, it will even be a bit easier for me. Whoever else gets the tickets can go pick them up, so I just have the drive to Hollywood.
I am so very, very sorry, everybody. My boss just phoned me and GRILLED me about what I’d done with the tickets, because his son’s soccer game tomorrow has now been cancelled and he wants them back.
“Damn, I already gave them away,” didn’t work, as it was followed by, “Well, who did you give them to?”
“I gave them to some friends who are driving down from Santa Barabar to see the show.” “Where are they (the tickets) physically - I’ll go get them.”
“I have them in my possession, but I’ve already promised them to people,” was met with, “I’m really, really sorry. I’ll give them ten bucks to see another movie, but I’ve already told Adam (his son), and I want to use my tickets. If you still have them, I want to come get them.”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. I fucking HATE renegging on offering something to someone. And I hate it worse when someone else makes me look like an idiot for offering and then taking it back.
I’m really, really sorry about this. I hope you’ll forgive me.
