Just got home from Virgin, got my movie poster (it's huge and glossy and sooo pretty) and a shiny pink wristband to come back later.

The people at the front of the line got there at 11 last night. I got there around 8:20 this morning and still got my stuff, so I'm happy.

Going back for the 4:00 signing. Woohoo!!!

hey liotte! so nice to meet you, I had no idea people got there at 11 last night....wow. I'll look out for you later! Btw, have you decided if you're bringing the poster back or not?

I don't know yet... It'll look great signed on my wall. But I want the CD signed too. Grrr, stupid 1 item per person limit!

I'm going to take my nap, hopefully the answer will come to me in a dream or something. :)

11 PM last night? People are literally crazy.

Yeah, God love their little souls.

liotte, I'd go with the poster. Think of it in terms of value. I am guessing it would be cheaper to get a cast signed CD on eBay or something like that than it would to get a poster.

A signed movie poster is a really nice piece of memorabilia.

yea now that I'm looking at it, the highlights cd cover is kinda teeny, not much room for autographs. I think I'm gonna go with the poster.

I might go down there now and see if they have any left.

Do you guys know if I get there at around 11:45 if they'll have any posters/wristbands left?

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 11/14/05 at 10:45am

they might not have posters but I'm pretty sure they'll have wristbands.

Hm...well I really wanted them to sign a poster, but I didn't think I'd be able to get down there. Any suggestions?

[Fantabulous428]

I got into the store at around 9:40 and they still had posters left, I just don't know how many. I think we were around #115ish and they supposedly had 200 posters. There were at least 50 people after us and I expect people kept joining the end of the line. Don't know if that helped...

I got there around 8am and also got my wristband and poster. Maybe I saw you, liotte, even though I didn't know it. :)

Since the CD doesn't actually come out until tomorrow, we actually all got giftcards for $16.25. I wonder if I can use the card for something else since I have the full 2-disc soundtrack or if we have to buy the highlights CD. Hmmmm...

I'll be bringing my poster to the signing so hopefully I will see you guys there!

I think the gift cards can be used towards anything. But it's kinda weird because they'll have to have at least 500 cds without the inserts in them.

So do you think that one could go there now and still get a wristband?

[Feathah]

Posted: 11/14/05 at 11:07am

As of 10:30 the posters were gone but they still have wristbands!

Woooooo hooooo! I came home to take a nap but I'm too excited to sleep. :)

I can't get there until at least 4:15. I can't decide if it's even worth it to try.

[liotte]

Posted: 11/14/05 at 11:15am

Em, call me and I'll let you know what it looks like.

I decided on the poster I think. But I'm bringing the CD and Rent book just in case :)

I wish I could make it, but unfortunately I am stuck here at work for the rest of the day! Have fun everybody and as a side note I would definitely get the poster signed over the CD - much more fun to display!

Posted: 11/14/05 at 11:24am

Was planning on it, liotte.

And if it's no good, I'm sneaking in, finding Adam, telling him he blows my happy little mind and going home.

Question: I have a poster on my wall. Can I bring that?

I hope I don't accidentally hit someone in the head with the poster when I get it signed. I can just see it now

*smack* as poster hits lovely cast members head. me: ummmm, sorry 'bout that. can you sign my poster?

I'm opting for the CD. My fiance and I are trying hard to turn our apartment into a place where the 30+ live instead of a dorm room. NOt much success though. My Rocky Horror poster signed by Terrence Mann is still hanging in our living room and my Tick Tick Boom poster still looks pretty in our kitchen - heh!

Gonna try and bring the OBC recording and see what happens. I have everyone but Taye and Jesse. I've lost hope trying to meet Fredi.

But am I *allowed* to bring a poster that I didn't get at the store? Like, if I take it off of my wall, roll it up and stick it in a tube, it's okay to bring? I'd love to have that signed.

[Fantabulous428]

is it the movie poster? I really don't think the people at virgin would know the difference if it looked reminiscent of the posters given out, and ofcourse, if you had the wristband to get in.
