Join fandomers at IMAX for POA on June 5!

[heiditandy]

As the release date for Prisoner of Azkaban approaches, Harry Potter
fans all over the world are making plans to get together to see the
film.

And since there's a huge number of Harry Potter fans in and around
the New York area, a few of us (including Heidi & Melissa from TLC
and people from HPfGU HPANA, FictionAlley, SugarQuill and a number
of LJ communities) thought, why not have a massive film-going event
the afternoon of June 5 (the day after the US release) at the LOEWS
IMAX in the Lincoln Center area in Manhattan?

The theater's Group Sales Office has given us a chance to purchase
discounted tickets as a block, so we can all sit together and watch
the film on the larger-than-life IMAX screen, and then we can all
adjourn together to for nibbles and post-film analysis somewhere in
the neighborhood (location to be announced - we're talking with a
Columbus Square bookstore right now).

At this point, we don't have an exact start-time for the film, but
the theater tells us it'll start between three p.m. and four-thirty
p.m., with the afterparty running from approximately seven-thirty
until nine o'clock. Tickets will be distributed starting 90 minutes
before showtime.

Everyone is welcome, but we ask that kids under fifteen attend with
a parent or guardian.

Since we have to buy the tickets ahead of time to get the seats
blocked and to get the discount, FictionAlley is taking the orders
for tickets. You can pay with PayPal using the page at
http://www.fictionalley.org/POA_NYC.html until May 31 (or until
tickets sell out) or you can send a money order or a check
(postmarked by May 15 unless we announce that tickets have sold out)
to the address on that page. FYI - as of May 4, we've already sold 
over 200 tickets!

If you have any questions, feel free to post at poa_nyc
(http://www.livejournal.com/community/poa_nyc/3689.html) or ask here 
(I've switched back to individual emails)! And if
you're sending a check or money order, we'd appreciate it if you'd
post on the LJ or drop me an email so we can look for it (but you're 
not required to do
so).
