I've had several people contact me about buying raffle tickets for the J & Company jeans customized by Kristen Bell that we are giving away next week at the Houston Premiere Party. The jeans arrived yesterday and, man... is she tiny! They are REALLY cute. (Good job Kristen!) The jeans also come with a certificate of authenticity from J & Company and a duffle bag from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED TO THE CLOUD_WATCHERS.

Thanks wyk!

Wyk,

Austin is adding a second screening of the VM premiere at another Alamo Drafthouse location. Here's the link. http://www.originalalamo.com/village/frames.asp

Ooh, I like.  I'll do that too.

I emailed Kristen inviting her to the LA party but no response yet.

Tiger, do you want to email her and ask or should I?

I'm not going to be at a computer during the chat Soda so if you want to do it, go for it.

Okay, this will be my final suggestion regarding the parties...

I am going to have a list at the party for people to sign-up for weekly email reminders about the show and to get info on any upcoming VM-related events in Houston. Then each week, I will send an email reminding everyone to watch and encourage them to forward the info to their friends on their email list. Word of mouth is still the best form of marketing.

I can start a mailing list and put you and whoever else has time in charge of the mailing list. It could be named "vmfandom@watchveronicamars.net" or something like that. There would be a subscribe and unsubscribe feature. You guys would pass out the link to the subcribe page at the parties, and people can sign up for the mailing list themselves. Then you guys would send out an email, and everyone on the list would get it.

I can do this during my lunch break, and post the link to the subscribe page.

Holy crap, is it October 3rd already? Just kidding. I am so stoked. I hope everyone has a great premiere tonight. Looking forward to seeing all your pictures.

wyk, why did you put those trivia links up? i'm having enough trouble keeping my mind on work as it is.

seriously, i wish i had seen that a week ago when i was pouring through my vm dvd's trying to come up with questions for the trivia game i created on power point. oh well... such is life.

thanks for all you do. you rock, dude (or dudette?)

Life is so unfair. The pictures from the Houston event are too dark to see anything. Did I mention I detest digital cameras? This is why.

Just because my pics sucked doesn't mean we can't do the collage. If you got any good pics from the premieres, email them to me.
