POA at IMAX in NYC on 06.05.04

[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 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. 

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. 

If you have any questions, feel free to post at poa_nyc 
(http://www.livejournal.com/community/poa_nyc/3689.html)! And if 
you're sending a check or money order, we'd appreciate it if you'd 
post there telling us to look for it (but you're not required to do 
so).
