PS... I'm assembling both lists right now!

I think that was all a big misunderstanding..
-
just a clear stating of the rules in the subject line.
-
What's the deal?? No one to organize?? No Willing Theater?
-
I sent my email...got my fingers crossed!
-
I had better get in.
-
Where's the love for Europe? Surely AICN should branch out and sponser a screening at the EIFF?
-
I'm not too late for! (hopefully)
-
Here's hoping I get in. My wife & I have been looking forward to this movie!
-
Finally, a SF showing. Sad for no panel :(
-
I'm been checking this site more times than Howie Mandel washes his hands...
-
... but I missed this by about half an hour, funny considering I have been refreshing this shit nonstop for the past few days! Fingers crossed...
-
ALRIGHT. Screening comes to SF finally!

Finally a SF screener! Any other talk backers from the SF Bay?
by ganymede3010
We must represent!
-
Was at the Gladiator screening too back in the day...has there been another AICN screening since then?
-
I really hope I get to go to this.
-
And if I don't win tickets, this contest was completely unfair.
-
omg I hope I get it T_T
-
unless they messed up their email. And didn't follow the instructions in the post.
-
For coming through for the better parts of the West Coast. Hope to be at the Metreon on Thursday!
-
I fucked up my email 'cause I had a nerd boner and copied the wrong headline I guess that's what I get for not reading things carefully.
-
if Knowles doesn't give me passes, it's my own fault and that's what I get. You won't see me pissing and moaning about it.
-
Yet another victory for the iPhone! Damn you, technology, and your vicious hold over me.
-
is this a free screening for the movie?
-
I erased the wrong one - and included you and your plus 1 in the right one. You're good. Just remember the Tortoise and the Hare and find a good medium.
-
Lack of sleep from new puppy + talking to my boss while I tried to send that email = geek fail. I appreciate it.
-
to take a shower... watch a movie... be back around 9pm my time.
as of this posting everyone that has sent in correctly has gotten in. -
I don't want to type my full name, but the initials are JB plus my guest, RM. Thanks holmes!
-
Ah, you're going to bathe yourself. Nevermind.
-
I double and triple checked my e-mail again, looks like I'm in for SF! Thanks for pulling through Harry.
-
hell yeash. Thanks Father Geek. The Bay Area will go wild.
-
I hope not
-
Damn I hope I'm in. The one day I don't check every 10 minutes is the day the info is posted!
-
tell me I made it in time!
-
Hey Seattle-ites! Besides my wife I have an awesome mother in law in town. Since we can only get two would someone hollar if they have an extra ticket for this showing. Would really like to take my mother-in-law to this flick. Thanks!!!
-
If my lady can't make it for some reason, you can have my +1.
I think she's kinda hyped to see this though, but if she can't make it I'll drop a message in this Talkback. -
Thanks talkbackers. Any help is appreciated
-
Sent the email, then realized my subject had no space in it, resent with a space, hoping not to get disqualified... and that I'm not too late...
-
i want to see this movie so badly and i'm sure it will be a blast to see it with this audience.
-
I've been checking AICN religiously for the past 2 weeks and I happen to walk away from the computer for a couple hours and this gets posted. I hope I get it ...
-
Hmmm, I sent my request in about 2 hours later. Am I too late? :( Damn damn triple damn if I miss out.
-
hope we get in
-
As of right now (4:38pm PST), are there anymore tix for the SF showing? I have a feeling I'm late to the party, but I sent an email anyways just now, and would like a confirmation if there are any left or not so as to not get my hopes up.
-
god dammit, I was grocery shopping! fingers crossed!!! the girl I'm bringing is hot!!!
man, this is one of the first AICN screenings in Seattle EVEr, if I missed it I'm gonna go nuts... -
Friggn knew I'd most likely be too late on this thing. Sonuva bitch, oh well Friday almost here.

BIG GUY...the Oak Tree is literally 2 blocks from my house
by badmrwonka
it would be a travesty beyond travesties if I don't get to go. I will HEAR the geeks geeking out from my balcony.
I'll show up early and hand out ice cream to any talkbackers from AICN for a ticket (if I don't get one...although 2 hours after the posting, it's gonna be close) -
I'll cross my toes for you too! :)
-
What if I accidently sent in wrong the first e-mail then sent a right e-mail right after that? (Forgot names first time)
This was like right after it was posted by like 10 mins. -

Similar problem to Killer185 involving Minneapolis screening.
by anonyjones
I sent my e-mail in for the Twin Cities screening about 20 minutes after the screening was announced last night. The site listed no instructions on what to do, so I just sent the e-mail with my name in it. On top of that, Gmail decided to turn my name and my +1 into a signature instead of including it in the body of the e-mail. Hopefully I still get in.
-
What a novel idea! Too bad that wasn't how the LA screening worked.
-
Damn, I'd been checking all week--and ten times a day at that--and I missed the post by about an hour due to a conference call. ::fingers crossed tickets are still available::
-
I e-mailed you about having included a +1 in parenthesis next to my guests name. I don't want you to think I'm trying to get myself, a guest, AND a +1 into the screening. I was simply identifying my guest as my +1 (stupid, I know). I sent in well before your last post, so I just
wanted to make sure that we won't be left off the list because of some stupid confusion. Thanks! -
At least you get the fucking opportunity for a fucking screening.
-
I just found out about Seattle I hope there are still tickets left what do ya say headgeek? When will the list be up?
-
Thanks for putting the Seattle screening together, Harry.
Oak Tree is not my fav place, to say the least, but the chance to see D9 a little early far outweighs any potential downside.
Plus, it's like 5 mins from my house. -

is aicngonna stop stroking their cock to the alamo drafthouse??
by supercowbell5thecowbellhasspoken
??? anyway i live in seattle. actually ghetto ass tacoma. good times!
-
There's no way I got in, but thanks anyway for hustling and getting us the screenings. Next time, minions! Next time!!
-
wont even bother to emial. fucking a.
-
Oak Tree is where I saw Indy 4... Bad stigma there, I tell ya. Of course I also saw Iron Man and Hulk there too.
-
..since Fight Club was released. I was high school smoking blunts before movies. And now I'm 27, and...well....I'll be around the corner sparking one if anybody wants to join me.
-
That means a little after 4 for me, which is around the time I sent the email. Hopefully I made the cut, but with my luck, I very much doubt it... so do we get confirmation emails, or do we just wait for The List with(out) our names to be posted? The suspense is killing me.
-
I dunno if I even had a shot of getting in. Knowing me, I prob made some stupid mistake scrambling to send an email out. In any case, thanks Harry for spending time on this. I really appeciate it. Hopefully, we will continue to get more sneak previews here in San Francisco. I don't think there are many at all out here. You do have a loyal fanbase here in the Bay Area. Peace. :)
-
Or how am I gonna know if/when I should grab my GF and GT? I know I was one of the first to register...I am sure of it.
-
Lists will probably be posted soon with the winners.
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. I didn't think there was 300+ Seattle people to even give tickets too. Figures this would all go down when I'm at work :(
-
Having read all of the spoilers prior to going in I was expecting to just admire the fx and try to enjoy it all playing out, but I was so completely in awe of this film I cannot wait to get back into a theater this weekend to see it again. It absolutely lives up to the hype.
-
I think I got in. I hope I got in. I can't wait to find out.
-
..to Seattle, let us be ENTHUSED. Let's show Aintitcool's Seattle people how thankful we all are for this opportunity, and how much fun it would be to continue getting Seattle in on some advanced screenings in the future. Get them reporting back to the site that, in the immortal words of Mixalot himself, "Seattle wasn't bullshittin."
I'm charged up. Let's get er did. -
OMG I can't believe this! You guys ALWAYS do your events in Austin. The one time there is finally a SF event and I miss it by a few hours! Argh.
-
that the only time I wasn't checking this site for info on the Seattle screening was the hour that the info was finally posted...... Well, congrats to all you that got in.
-
Yeah, same thing happened here. Oh well, congrats to everyone and enjoy!
-
Thanks Harry!
D9 kicks ASS! Hands down one of the best Sci-Fi movies in the last decade. Everyone will be talking about this movie for a long time. I don't want Neil making a Halo movie, he should do Half-Life instead! -
Unless you have a fucking time machine you did not just get out of the Seattle screening if D9. The time stamp on your comment and the actual time of the Screening (8:00 PM on Thursday the 14th) don't add up asshole. You wish you got in douchebag.
-
LOL there were 2 screenings dude
7pm last night at Oak Tree on WEDNESDAY the 13th and 7pm tonight at Pacific Place.
Today is THURSDAY the 14th, not the 13th dumbass.
I should shoot a pig at you for not paying attention to the date.
-
Damn I got MY dates wrong and went to a NON-AICN screening at Oak Tree last night but still got in (they didn't ask for names just gave us green slap-on bracelets), they also gave us tickets to a screening at pacific place that I also got into.
So my bad, the timestamp on the talkback threw me off
right now it's 11:20 PM on thursday night.
I was wondering why there were so many OLD/crackhead looking people at oak tree last night.
