Live in Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles or Austin? Wanna see PINEAPPLE EXPRESS on Us? You Toked Too Long - It's All Filled!

Published at:  Jul 30, 2008 5:30:03 PM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here... Earlier this year we did a big blowout screening of what has been my very favorite fun film of the summer. PINEAPPLE EXPRESS is just a great fucking time. Seriously. I just completely love the film and the performances are so funny and the gags are so dead on that it builds on itself. Yoko and I can't watch trailers without cracking up laughing just due to the memories of how fucking funny this film is. So we decided to conspire with Sony to do 4 screenings across the country in Austin, Chicago, Minneapolis and some small town called Los Angeles.

Do you want to come?

Sure you do - And it's very easy - All you have to do is write an email to the corresponding host for the town in which you wish to see the film. The subject line must read exactly:

I want Pineapple Express To Eff Me Up!

And what I mean by exactly is... exactly. Same Capitalization, misspellings and punctuation. If it isn't it'll go to the matmos never to be heard from again. In the body of the email you'll need to put the name(s) of you and your guests. No need for pot stories - or promises of pot... except to Moriarty - he'll accept herb for tickets - He's an evil genius after all. And this is first come first serve so HOP ON IT FAST! As in - ready, set, GO!

    From the lack of comments, I'd say I'm a shoo-in for Mpls.

    not that the..

    by john l raiser

    the lack of comments is due to a lack of interest, moreso just an extremely early post time. Just to clarify and all.

    Minneapolis is SOLD OUT! Check your email!

    by 433

    Never underestimate the power of Harry Knowles on an email inbox. If anyone still wants to attend, there will be a standby line. If we're not full up 5 minutes before the film, we'll start letting a few folks in. Thanks for your interest!

    Chicago e-mails

    by jrummel

    I wrote in for Chicago at 7:30 and haven't gotten an e-mail... Don't know if that's cause I missed my shot or if they haven't gone out... I knew I should have stayed up late last night for this once Capone announced that something was going up at the Hamlet screening... Oh well.

    Chicago peeps

    by capone

    Don't worry folks, the e-mails for winners in Chicago have not gone out yet, and probably won't until Friday. The Minneapolis crew is just a little quicker on the draw than the rest of us. We're probably about one hour (tops) from selling this puppy out, so if you've entered already and you didn't screw up your entry, you're likely getting in since this is first-come, first gets in contest. Don't hold me to that, but it's looking good.

  • I sent passes to the people who read the directions first, then added the rest to the standby list.

    Does that mean after entering so late I still have a chance?

    Los Angeles...

    by therealmoriarty

    ... isn't quite to capacity yet, and I won't send out the confirmation letters until Thursday night, most likely.

    So feel free to still drop me a line. I'd love to see you guys there. And Harry's silly... the offer of weed wouldn't help get you a seat. Of course not. That's just SILLY. Right? RIGHT?

    Sold Out

    by headgeek

    is a phrase - this is a free screening - what they mean by SOLD OUT - is that the Screening is filled. They chose their words poorly.

    ... I'll be sending out confirmations soon, and I can't wait to see all of you who responded. Should be great, and based on the e-mails I've gotten, I can evidently plan to not remember anything through next Thursday. Wooo-hoo!
