Yes, you two need to be good examples! Kinda ironic if we had a Entmoot and nobody drinks anything, though! So... I'll bring some Diet Dr Pepper, right?

I can always bring the little umbrellas (Lobelia libations?) Wouldn't mind trying one of those Jello thingies.

I am not sure he would agree with your diagnosis! Thats a heavy word to be tossing about!

I think we are a good mix of folk that will find a way to have a good time... The only extreme behavior may be our mutual excitement about the film and finally meeting everyone!

But then again, if everyone gets a little tipsy, our whistling would sound better!

Are we now considering the entmoot date to be for the opening night? I know you were in the camp, as I was, who wants to try for that... What do you think now?

The one time I went to see the movie after having pints before we went was the one time the movie was too long. I get too sleepy anymore, and I couldn't concetrate!

Well, I'm sure we can rely on you to tell us if we really need medication, can't we?

FWIW I still think it would be easier to get everyone together after Christmas....less stress, etc. Some folks like Corin, have a lot of Christmas activities around opening night.

You might be right that it isn't as practical.

I have always thought that we ought to all meet for the PREMIERE of the movie. I mean, can you imagine how excited we're all going to be in Dec of 2003??? What a thrill.

Yeah - The overall exitement would be a LOT higher... And I could do it for the premier....

Lets see, what would it look like? - Get together in the morning (probably a wednesday premier again...) for the viewing of the first two films... then get in line and see the midnight premier! Chatter exitedly about it at 3 in the morning over pancakes at some all night diner, go back to hotel, get some sleep, get together for brunch, see a matinee to take it all in again! The rest of the weekend is still up in the air.

If we waited till after Christmas, the excitement about the movie would be less, but we might spend more time talking to each other... But then... we can talk to each other now! What do we think crew?

Lets see, if it is a Wednesday Premier, then we would actually be flying in on a Monday night and getting together on Tuesday. The premier would be 12:01 AM of the Wednesday, not Wednesday night.

See, it would be... not too impossible for me to come in the weekend after Christmas, or after New Years, but before Christmas... I dunno. Maybe right after Christmas while I still am off work. I was thinking a "arrive Friday/party Saturday/leave Sunday" deal...

Left that behavior on the side of the road and never looked back except now and then to wonder "What was I thinking???"

Amen sister! And thanks for your openness. Glad to know there are some other abstainers and partial abstainers about. I have no problem with people drinking and enjoying themselves. Doesn't bother me a bit, but sometimes I think it bothers them that I'm not participating.

FWIW, the week between Christmas and New Year's is far and away the best time for me to entmoot. I would mix it in with a family vacation and with everyone off school at that time it would work great!

I think the whole "turning into a bear at night" thing hinders reproduction.

Does a Bear...um...reproduce in the woods?

You have a whole year to plan for the time off!

But I suppose we will go with the majority rule! - I would be happy either way. I will likely be taking some extra days to go to Disney/Epcott and Kennedy Space Center and other things I would want to see in Florida. I would likely never get to Florida again, so while I am there, I want to see those things at least.

How about this.... Why don't I create a poll question with some options for dates, in the Yahoo Hobbit Hole? - Then we can pick from the top two, and decide based on people's definitive "cannot do" dates that we don't even know about yet.
