What did you bring with you to the Hitchhikers Guide movie

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

On the first viewing, i forgot my towel (left it in the car, but at least i knew where it was…)

the second viewing, i brought some HHGTTG-approved snacks with me…
a bottle of tea
some Swedish Candy Fish (So long and Thanks…)
and a Heath Toffee candy bar

this time, i’m tempted to smuggle in some Sushi, but it’s not really british per-se…

2

I went in my pajamas and bathrobe. I was applauded (although my wife was mortified :)).

3

I haven’t seen it yet, but thanks for the ideas.

I read the book in 1982. Shortly after that, I had some iron-on letters put onto a white towel:

DON’T
PANIC

I still have it, of course; and I know where it is.

Maybe I should bring it with me?

4

No towel, but I took OhFace with me.

5

Towel, displayed prominently. My friends and I seemed to be the only ones in the theatre who brought them, though…:frowning:

6

When I go to HHGTTG, hopefully next week, I will bring a towel and think of you all kindly. :wink:

Don’t panic!

7

Brought a white towel, with various bits dyed to look like Roosta’s, as detailed in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

Couldn’t pull off pink flowers, so I just made pink splotches.

8

I brought a towel, displayed prominently around my neck. A nice gentleman in the lobby - also with a towel - offered me a Babel fish (swedish candy fish) when he saw me with the towel :slight_smile:

9

I brought a towel with me when I saw it for the second time at midnight in Orlando. I suppose about a dozen other people had towels as well, and one guy was dressed in a bath robe.

10

Why do I get the feeling that this is going to go down as another Rocky Horror-type phenomenon?

11

I took my black bath towel with me. A friend of mine then demonstrated one of the reasons why it is so useful to have a towel with you wherever you go - the restroom has no paper towels, so after he washed his hands he used my towel.

I was the only person at the theater I went to that had a towel. I got many strange looks.

Sad, I tell you.

12

I haven’t had a change to see HHG yet (got finals and stuff to worry about). When I go, I will definitely bring a towel. Maybe I’ll also bring my mom’s TI-92 graphing calculator–it always looked like the Guide to me.

13

Dried fish. :smiley:

So long!! :stuck_out_tongue:

14

I brought my copy of the original paperback Hitchhikers Guide that I bought in York in 1979. I thought it deserved to be there. (Was it first released in England in paperback, or in hardcover? I can’t find hardcover listed on ABE Books.)

I wish I had thought of Swedish Fish.

15

I brought my girlfriend, she brought her daughter who came with her boyfriend.

Amusingly, her daughter had a dose of the cold and was wrapped up in a loose knit coat then forgot to change out of her slippers so she inadvertantly came appropriately dressed :slight_smile:

16

I didn’t bring anything.

However, I did go away with a copy of The Deeper Meaning of Liff I won in a trivia contest, two flat yellow foam Babelfish, and a ticket that they forgot to rip.

17

I just took Ardred, but there were only ten other people in the theater, so I definitely would’ve felt silly with a towel.

Two of the ten left about halfway through, apparently disgusted. I was disgusted by the guy sitting in the chair behind me and to the left who took his shoes off and put his feet on the back of the chair next to me.

18

:confused:
Is there somewhere that will explain what the hell all of you are talking about?

Towel? Swedish fish? Bathrobe? In a movie theater?

:smiley: [/*Hitchiker’s Guide * virgin]

I second this notion…:frowning:

Yes, I believe you can buy a Guide book…
