Hi all,

For those who live in or who are familiar with the san Francisco Bay Area.

I am blind, and a good friend and coworker of mine is also blind.  We live
in Marin county, in San Rafael.  my friend has been counting the days for
the OOTP movie, since the release date was announced last fall.  For those
who don't know, there is a service called DVS, descriptive video service,
and there are several DVS equipped theaters around the area.  However, none
of them are showing the new movie in the theater with the DVS.  You know,
multi-screen facilities.  They all have their DVS equipment in the smaller
theaters and have told my friend they will not move the HP movie there till
it "isn't so popular anymore".  One theater manager even told her in
response to her question about why, that when it came to putting the movie
in which theater, blind people didn't count and would have to wait.  Well, I
was livid on her behalf when I heard this!  

Anyway, I thought I'd ask here on this list, to see if there are any HP
movie fans in the area, who have already seen the movie, would like to see
it again, and wouldn't mind going with my friend and describing the movie to
her.  she's completely familiar with the story and characters, so a person
could say, Harry did this, Snape did that, Sirius just ... and she'll
understand it.  I'm sure she'd probably pay your gas, buy your ticket and
treat you to something from the concession stand!

If anyone is interested, please contact me off list at:

Thanks!

Sherry
