Yeah, it's the original US release poster. It has no date or rating on it.

the "coming to theaters in november one"? also, is it single sided? if so, thats the one given out today

[luvtheEmcee]

I think it's double sided, but I never really understood the deal with that. It's definitely very backwards on one side.

even if its double sided, they probably wouldn't notice. as long as you have it rolled up and open it up once you get into the store, you'll probably be fine.

OH. I just realized. If I fool them, I can DEFINITELY get in. That wasn't my intention; I was going to try to get in on honesty, but I just wanted to know if I was allowed to bring a poster that wasn't the one they gave out, or if they were restricting it.

wait, Em, I'm confused

I didn't mean I wanted to try to go with my poster and fool the people into thinking I got it this morning -- I don't want to use it as a guarantee to get in on dishonesty. I just want to know if you're only allowed to have specific things signed or if it's okay to bring something that isn't a poster from Virgin and isn't a CD. Sorry!

oh, got it. I think you're only supposed to have either the highlights cd or poster, if you have one, signed. are you going to get there in time for a wristband?

I have no idea. I'm going to find out from liotte what's going on when I get out of class.

I think people should take something they want signed that they will enjoy. Am I the only one that thinks that the idea of choosing based on what you might be able to get on EBAY is slightly offensive? If RENT or the performers is something near and dear to your heart - great - you'll have a wonderful memento. Going decidedly to make a buck off someone else's time and energy and goodwill doesn't sit well with me - never has. But that's just me.

Have fun everyone! Excited to hear about it!

Craig, I don't think anyone posting here about getting things signed had anything to do w/ wanting to sell things in Ebay, whether it is exactly what you said, it is near and dear to them, if anything it's about which would mean the most and look prettiest on their walls. Just my 2 cents.

I apologize. I misread "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. "

I would delete my original post, but I think it's still a good sentiment to leave on this thread.

[Fantabulous428]

I don't think anyone has intentions of selling whatever they get signed on ebay. someone mentioned ebay saying that it would be easier to get a signed CD from there, so they should get the poster signed. but, they also said a signed poster is a nice piece of memorobilia and of course will look very pretty on a wall.

[wickedrentq]

Posted: 11/14/05 at 12:40pm

Yes, I do think you misread that, I think the sentiment wasn't expressed in terms of selling on ebay, the poster was suggesting that if she wanted two things signed, one would be cheaper to get on Ebay, but either way it would be something she herself would have sentimental value for, that's all. But I appreciate admitting a misinterpretation, I wish more ppl on the board would so willing do that.

Oh. I KNOW I misread it. No question.

Time to go back!

[sports620]

Posted: 11/14/05 at 2:50pm

FYI - I just got back from getting a wristband and they do have a bunch left.


Do we really have to get there at 4?

[liotte]

Posted: 11/14/05 at 5:17pm

Just got home from the signing!

Everyone was so nice (Jesse was the only person not there), the place was packed, people were singing along to the CD that was playing, tons of pictures, ahhhh!!!!!!!

I'm so glad I went!!!

my mom was there, i'm waiting to hear how it was!

[DreamFlyer22]

Jesse was probably tied up with Law and Order, sadly.

Damn, I wish I lived close enough. :-P Albany IS technically driving distance... but not *practical* driving distance. Curses.

liotte I want to keep my wristband as a souvenir but it won't come off! I guess I'll have to cut it.

Did you get to talk to them for more than a few seconds, or was is a relatively fast moving line that you just walked through?

Can't wait for pictures! (hopefully they were taken and will be posted at some point?)

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 11/14/05 at 5:51pm

relatively fast moving. I have pictures that will be up soon
