Thanks for the offer... but if you're coming up from San Diego, I 
think I'm a bit too north for you - I remember driving down to La 
Jolla to visit my sister in college, and it took us 5+ hours to get 
down there... 

However, if anyone's coming from the north SJ valley (i.e., 
Sacramento, Modesto, Fresno, etc), I'll let *you* pick me up. ;)

By the way, I have a friend in the Bay area (near Stanford, 
actually), and she's interested in coming down for the movie... I 
*might* be able to get her to stop through Porterville first and 
pick me up... if I take over driving for her.  So.  There might be 
a way for me to get down to L.A. early enough for an early afternoon 
showing.

RE: tickets...  does the Bridge have a website?  we *might* be able 
to all order our tickets online... especially if they're affiliated 
with a "chain" company, like Mann or Cinemark.

(Does Cinemark even exist anymore?)

Otherwise, I like the idea of one person picking up a multitude of 
tickets (of course, they probably have a maximum).  My husband is 
going down to L.A. this weekend with my daughter (to watch a car 
race - which I'm not interested in, but I'd go anyway if it weren't 
for the fact that his racist, vain uncle is going to be there, and I 
feel like he's criticizing my weight every time I see him - I don't 
need that stress), and as today is payday (yay!), he can afford to 
pick up a bunch if they're selling them early.

Plus, he can scout out the location.  I've been to the Fox Valley 
Mall before... I should be able to direct Julie if she's the one who 
has to take me.

(whew, sorry for the long post)
