I'm not thinking fancy catering... fun in a park, fried chicken and fixings...Bring your own beer or wine.... WHOOOT!!! if people are able to bring a dish... salad or whatever great. When it gets closer I will look more into it... rent a covered structure... We can get an idea of how many people would be interested in attending.. It may be five, it may be 20 or more... we will wait and see, but this sounds like great fun!!!!!! Yes, that's more what I'm thinking. All it takes is setting a date, finding a cheap hotel nearby for out-of towners and we're ready to go. There are some really nice areas right by the beach on Lake Erie as well.

Wow, this sounds like a great idea! And for next summer you say? Well if it is around the time of the MGP Premiere or mid to late August I may just be able to join you on my way home from Vancouver! Would love to meet you ladies in person, we'd all have a blast!

There are some not too high priced hotels near Metro airport or in a town nearby. I can even scope some out for you guys to tell you if they look nice or not and take some pictures to put up or something!
I wonder when MGP will premiere. Maybe we can work that out. I know that a bunch of my friends who were extras are getting together to go to a showing in Canton which is about 15 or so mins away from the airport.

Ok girls, pick a month July or August. I will likely have to but a deposit down on a covered area in one of the parks Fiera suggested NOW!!! Usually they book a year in advance...
What I would like is a rough idea of who would come... and remember I will not hold you to this? I just would like a head count.

July so I can come! I had every intention of coming to Detroit next summer anyway; HOWEVER - if there is a premiere in LA for MGP in the summer I won't be coming. Gerry will always come first. LOL Anyway, I would LOVE to attend but I don't want to PROMISE. Seriously, if MGP is due to be released in September, the premiere will likely be in late August/early September and I won't miss it. You guys could do something HERE around the premiere. Just a suggestion. Anyway, I would love to be a part of this. I think we would have a BLAST. Dianne, you could also try to get some stuff signed by Gerry for a raffle, with the proceeds going to KKC. Just another idea. More later. I'm gonna miss my bus!

That would definitely be a great idea about the raffle. I will have to see the amount of people we get first.

I wish I could go ... man, do I ever, I would love to meet all of you gals. Unfortunately, this will be about the time when I will be getting out of my parents' place and into my own apartment. I only have until May next year to pay off my debt, but I still have to save for rent and a new mattress set and TV (cause my old one was kaput). I would love to meet all of you, but I have been living with my parents for the past three years (will be four by the time I move out) and that is my priority right now.

What I would like is a rough idea of who would come... and remember I will not hold you to this? I just would like a head count. I prefer August, cause I will more than likely be able to make it either before or after my trip to Vancouver. I'll be leaving Australia around 19th August but must be in Vancouver on the 26th - 28th August & would be more than likely heading home on Thurs 1st September, depending totally on Mr Butler & his premiere arrangements, of course Apart from the 26th - 28th August, these dates are not set in concrete, so I can always do a bit of juggling with my schedule to ensure that I make it, if needed.

Hmmm, wonder if MGP will premiere at TIFF? Maybe we should all go there....LOL (I should have my Greencard until then...)
I say I'll tentatively make our get together but my life is hectic, I can not commit that far ahead....
The release date of MGP may change several times though, it's hard to plan around a premiere. I probably will not fly out to LA for a premiere. I'd only do a premiere if it's within driving distance for me as Toronto would be.
Something else, those of us within 4-5 hours drive, maybe we could get together for Gerry's birthday? But it may be a bit too short of a notice. Still, want to throw it out there. And we still could do something next year.

I'd love to meet everyone, but that's just too far in the future for me to know for sure. Early August would probably be best for me, but I'll work around whatever date is chosen.

really like the idea of group gathering for premier of machine gun preacher...but, where and when its held would make a difference.
november 13th birthday bash does sound good. i know another site has one at st. patricks in nyc annually???
then again, next year picnic (perhaps camping) sounds good too

Now that we know that Coriolanus is premiering at TIFF and I assume that Gerry may be attending it would be a good possibility to plan a get together around that....

I'm not sure I could make a premier... After we see the movie we could go to the place where Gerry went and do Karaoke...fun, fun!!!! We could plan a picnic for the next day, It could be a weekend thing.
