Drawn by Pain Screening Part Deux

I'm sorry that this a duplicate of a previous discussion made a few months back, but unfortunately some complications came up and the discussion had to be remade again.

In this discussion we are talking about possible dates for the screening, hotel choices, travel arrangements for those who need help and activities to do while in New York. This screening is to not only celebrate the completion of the Drawn by Pain series with friends who share the same enthusiasm, but to also show support for Jes, Erica and the entire crew for their hard work over the last few years to produce a piece of work that has earned them the Peoples' Choice Webby Award.

In the previous discussion, we had spoke of September being the possible month for the screening and now that Jes has determined it will be in late September, as of now, we will need to start getting more people involved to make this event even better than the last.

For those who are planning to attend, please state if you are going so we can get a proper head count, this also includes all those who had stated they were going in the previous discussion. All information was lost and we will need to have everyone who participated in the original discussion to repost.

Sorry for the inconvienence this has caused and please be patient as we try to get things planned and organized for the second part of Drawn by Pain in New York.

If nothing else, money wise, I've got a cousin in New York who will be willing to put me up.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Camael on July 15, 2008 at 11:24pm: So after reviewing responses from this forum and trying to go from memory on the other that disappeared - we have a total of 12 people who have expressed interest in going. If I am missing someone that said they are going or will try...please let me know.

People who have stated they will try or are going:

Mike (GamerX5000) - Maybe
Jason (LLCoolBean) - Yes
Lori (Cheshire Cat) - Maybe
Josh (Josh McLinn) - Yes
Mikey (Karnak) - Maybe
Carla (Charlie McGee) - Maybe
Ash (Abyss_GK) - Yes
Luke (Luke McKay) - Maybe
Tommy (Tommy Carubba) - Yes
Joseph (Joseph Mashiah) - Maybe
Aaron (Enforcer) - Yes
Aaron (Anomolous) - Maybe

We really need more people to spread the word out so more will come here and say if they are coming or not. I have a list started of those who are going or have said they will try and make it. If you know someone who is coming with you that may not have an account here, please state if you have a guest coming with you so that way I can keep count of how many people are coming. This is going to help better organize things and know what will be open to us for activities and the such. This will also help us in determining the seating for the theater as well.

Don't hesitate to send the word out. Remember that this screening will have all 12 episodes, in movie form, that will be shown along with a Q&A at the end.; ▶ Reply to This

Also, how many rooms is that apartment Cass?; ▶ Reply to This

I'm just worried about the date changing at this point. I'm in a new job and if I ask off it has to be for the correct date.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Cassondra on July 16, 2008 at 10:14am: Oh, and I will likely secure the same apartment I had last year for this. I would love to have a couple of roommates join me to split the $125 a night cost. It is literally 2 blocks from the subway station in a nice area of Queens and only a few stops from the PanAm if that's where everyone else is staying.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Camael on July 16, 2008 at 3:45pm: I'm not sure if we are staying at the PanAm again, it's one option that is on the list, but we are also looking into other alternatives as well in case we find a better deal (kind of iffy though, but worth a look).

The hotel situation will be discussed once we get confirmation on the date being closed from Jes. So at this time, everything is kind of at a stand still. This doesn't mean that it can't be thought about for the time being though as well as people you want to room with.

I'll go ahead add you, Cass, to the people that might be going and I will add Josh's one guest to the list. As you guys know more about going or if you get more people to come with you, please be sure to either post here or let me know so I can get them added to the list.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Jesse Cowell on July 20, 2008 at 2:47pm: I do believe the date should be locked in the next few days or so. I may have to move it to the 4th of October, but have a definite venue for that time. Once confirmed - I will send out an email/post with a LOCKED date.; ▶ Reply to This
