JoCo and Watchmen

[filkertom]

March 6 is on a busy weekend.

First, there's MarsCon up in the Minneapolis area. Awesome con, with an incredible music lineup.

Second, there's Dorsai Thing, which I would love to get to this year.

Ain't goin' to either.

See, right here in town, Jonathan Coulton (along with Paul and Storm) is going to be at The Ark.

(It'll be the first time I've been to The Ark since the night of the accident.)

Who is interested in going? I mean, I'm not gonna buy tickets for you or anything, but it would be fun to have a bunch of us lay claim to several tables in front if possible. And, if you're going into town any time soon, Herb David has tickets with only a $2.00 service charge, rather than the usurious rates charged by TicketMaster. Ya gotta pay by cash or check, but hey.

And, the next day, Saturday, Anne and huskiebear and Tom U. and I are planning on seeing Watchmen at the Showcase Ann Arbor. Probably a noonish show, followed up by our traditional dissection of the movie along with copious food, most likely at the Red Robin or Steak & Shake across the way. Again, who's in?

Me for the JoCo/P&S show at least. I could probably be convinced to movie and dissect and food.

Oh right, I need to plan to see Watchmen on Monday night when I get home from MarsCon. I forgot that MarsCon was on opening weekend for that movie.

I have no extra days off, so I can't go to the cons... :-(

I'd love to take over the concert hall with everyone, but you're too far away.

However, they're playing here on February 20th, so I get to see them first. :-D

If Davroz doesn't go to MarsCon with the rest of us hooligans, he might be up for the JoCo thingie, I pointed it out to him and all.

Very tempting, been awhile since there were two things going on at the same time on the same weekend I wanted to go to.

Lets see here. Get to hang out with Tom Smith, see a killer movie and also get to see Jonathan Coulton in concert vs. my usual weekend plans.

Yeah I'm so there. :)

Wow, that's tempting. If I can make it, I will. It's just 4 or 5 hours :D

We'll miss you at Thing.

Or we may take better aim....
:)

You'll be missed at Thing.

Believe me, I am not happy about missing Thing. I also will not be at Anthro this year, because it's the same weekend as InConJunction. I'm strongly considering ConFluence.

I had to miss the last JC concert in our area due to a sciatica attack, but I hope to see this one! Thanks for the 'heads up' on it!

I started spitting nails when I saw the schedule. Obviously Dorsai Thing is a can't-miss for me. And just to add more to the fray, the 6th is also opening night for "Watchmen." Midnight Thursday showing, anyone?

I bought my JoCo ticket at the Union, for only a $1 markup instead of the $2 at Herb David or the $$$$ from TicketMonster.
