Midnight Tips

For all of you mega fans out there who are venturingout on July 14th to see a movie on July 15th, here are a few tips form a Midnight showing veteran....

1. Buy tickets in advance. That way, you're garanteed a spot in the theater...
2. While in line waiting to get into the theater, drink a caffinated drink. That way, when you do get into the theater and are waiting for the movie to start, you will have plenty of energy
3. When the movie starts, drink another cafinated drink of two to get you through the movie.
4. Arrive to your movie theater no later that 10:30, that way you will be in a good spot in line and will get a good seat. Most theaters open around 10:30 or 11:00 depending on the volume of people they will have to seat.
5. Bring things to entertain yourself (cards, video games, an iPod, a book) so you won't get bored.
6. Make sure you will be comfortable. If you are wearing a costume, make sure that you will be able to sit and still be comfortable. You may even want to bring a blanket and pillow if you so desire.
7. Pick seats wisely. Some theaters may give out t-shirts to people and it is mostly to people closest to the "ground floor" where you walk in.
8. Make sure to have muncies on hand or money to buy popcorn or sweets from the "trolley" (concession stand)
9. Be ready to see some crazy fans. Ususally the biggest fans go to midnight showings so be ready to get loud, crazy and have some fun!
10. Take a nap before you leave. You will thank yourself later when it is 3/4 AM and you are just leaving the theater.

So have fun everyone! I hope that you enjoy the show! Remember, it is a very long and fun night so go in with an open mind and be ready to have lots of fun!
