We’ve settled on a date, and it’s MONDAY, OCTOBER 25TH at the Clearview Cinemas in Red Bank (the same theater we had the Vulgathon at), and the screenings (one showing in each theater) will start at 9:00 PM. The showings will be a few minutes apart, as Kevin will be introducing them, so he’ll do one theater, the flick will start, then he’ll make his way over to the 2nd screen and intro that one- it shouldn’t be more than a 15 minute difference in starting times, however.

Now, on to price- as we’ve set a goal to raise $10,000 for the Diabetes charity, we had to hike our originally planned $20 or so ticket price to $30. Basically, by switching to a prefered nighttime showing rather than VERY early afternoon (like pre-Matinee), the rental price of the theater jumped as well, and we have to make up for it to reach our $10,000 goal. Don’t fret, however- we’re currently working on getting each and every attendee a special bit of View Askew swag to commemorate the event, something that will NOT otherwise be available through the Stash or anywhere else. We have a good idea of what it is we’re gonna give you folks, but have to do some final clearances to make sure we can before we announce. It’s a neat item, though, and ties in nicely with the screening, and will likely be autographed by Kevin and Mr. “Phat Buds” Mewes himself. And beyond that, it IS for a good cause, and you get to see the flick introduced by the guy who made it 2 1/2 weeks before it opens to the general public. Other possible festivities are being planned as well. Believe you me, it should be an awfully swell time. And if nothing else, this will give all the board folks who want to kill me the chance to do so.

Now, as for the logostics of buying a ticket, here’s the lowdown on that front:

On Monday (October 4th), at 12 Noon Eastern Standard Time (that’s 12 Noon here in NJ), our very own Kim will be posting on this here board- something to the effect that “DOGMA tickets on sale”- you get the picture. Said post will have a special return e-mail address- in order to secure A ticket (remember, due to the limited number of seats we’re only selling one ticket per fan- if you’ve got buddies who want to come with you they’ll have to buy their own ticket this way themselves), you must REPLY to the special e-mail address, with a valid e-mail addy of your own, as well as your name and board monikor. The first 430 folks who respond to Kim’s e-mail will be e-mailed back an order form on Tuesday or Wednesday, and said order form will have to be filled out and returned to us (via fax) with valid credit card number for payment by the end of the week. You will then be sent a confirmation, and all will be good in the world.

If, by chance, anybody among the 430 initial e-mailers do NOT fill out and return their order form with payment in a timely fassion, then however many seats become available will be offered to the corresponding folks from #431 on who responded to Kim’s initial post.

So there you have it- this post is being put up on Friday night to give everybody a fair shot at getting tickets, rather than just putting up the info out of the blue. Remember, watch the board around 12 Noon (that’s EASTERN STANDARD TIME!) on Monday for Kim’s post, and I hope to see you all (well, the first 430 respondees at least) at the screening.
