[EVENT] Free screening of "The Host" in NYC

So far I haven't heard anyone say they're going to this, so if you are, please post here. It would be really great if we could get an unforumer there, as I wouldn't be surprised if something goes down. Of course, Sun-Yi will probably video it, but I would feel bad if Sun-Yi hosted this thing and no one showed up. I think most of us playing this are really scattered, though, so for most of us it probably isn't an option.

Anyone live in or near NYC?

I unfortunately do not, although I would love to have gone, even though I've already seen it. I'm really curious too. Since the movie explains exactly what Agent Yellow is, does that mean that the ARG will have to have ended by then? Otherwse, how is Matt Wheeler going to explain that one off? Unless someone sabotages the movie screening and no one gets to watch it...

I'm not caught up on the journal entries, but with regard to the Agent Yellow stuff, my general sense of the narrative is that, even though there's this movie called "The Host," many of the things in it like agent Yellow and weird things in the water are actually real. I don't think we've seen Matt address the Host thing yet, but maybe after seeing it on Monday (assuming he goes), he'll be like "They made a movie based on my grandfather's research!" ?

I tried following this ARG when it was in news and rumors, but I got busy and never caught up. Since it doesn't look like anyone is gonna be there I might be able to make it, the movie looks really cool, and it'll be my first live event. I'm in Boston so it's like a four hour train ride, but I'll make a day out of it, and maybe sacrifice going to classes on Tuesday (wish Sun Yi chose a weekend Sad

). Anyone wanna fill me in on what I should be looking for, and anything I need to do if I can make it?

Last night I dreamed that Sun-Yi was starring in "The Host". Strange when games start to mess with your dreams Confused

I just got back from the screening. I got a picture of Sun Yi and Matt and one of the theater that I will post in the morning. Derek wasn't there, but someone said he had to go pick up someone at the airport.

I didn't get a chance to sign up for the text messaging so I totally missed out on that. Anyone know what happened? I saw some people get messages and they seemed to leave before the rest of us.

At the end of the movie, Sun Yi gave out posters from the film.

I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone, but I will say that it is well-worth seeing.

I never got any o.o She said she would do live updates, I assumed she meant during the screening.
