Yes, let's meet at the Arclight lounge for a drink before the flick. We finally get to meet the mysterious Mr. Ry. :)

Um... ZenCat... we've met the mysterious Mr Ry. It's the mysterious Mr Genrewriter that we've not met yet. Are you getting senile with old age? :)

Oh! Yes, of course. I'm thinking of Genrewriter. Sorry Mr. Ry. :) Athena was screaming at me "Pierce, Pierce Pierce!!!" and I was rattled.

Nooooooo... You did. Whenever I see Matt Damon I think of you now. :) I'm just stupid (and senile -- I walked right into the refrigerator the other day). Sorry.

Maybe Ry, but you did kill that guy on my roof really quietly and even dumped the body in the dumpster for me. That's class.

No...Really.

I try my best Bryce. You wouldn't believe how easy it is to throw a body over a roof and have it land right in the dumpster. Movies make it look easy, but no it really is.

You know, I find the same thing about crashing through plate glass. Done it three times in the last year and still, never a scratch and I always land exactly where and how I want to. I always make sure to straighten my tie afterwards though.

I also hear really cool Bond music but I think that's just in my head...

Strangely enough I tend to hear the Bond music in the background and it's always John Barry...strange.

I like both TCA versions and look forward to the sequel.

Hmmm. Should I fly to L.A. or not? What to do, wha to do?

I will be there too! I hope we can meet up. The Arclight has a nice bar that would make for a nice meeting spot either before or after . . .

Ahhh Solex!

Good to hear from you. Haven't seen you since Long Beach. Yes, this may be a grand night out.

You know...The next day is St. Patty's Day...Maybe we can con Pierce into joining us and starting early.

Four Aces: I don't think this is something worth flying for, really. :) But if you really want to.

Genrewriter: Tickets I thinkk are $10. You HAVE to come we still haven't BOND-ed with you, yet!!!

Solex Agitator: We're all going to be going out for drinks before and after :) So if you want to meet up just by looking for us visually, that's cool. But if you want to make sure to meet up with us all. PM one of us (ZenCat, Bryce, or Myself) your cell number and we'll make sure to meet up.

There are a few good restaurants at Hollywood & Highland. Maybe we could book a late dinner.

The movie is just over two hours and then we'll try to keep our man there as long as possible, but I suspect an hour at the most. Who knows? It is a weeknight so I don't think it would be too crowded or busy.

Again, a thought. Drinks and the experience will be more than enough. :)

I wish there was a way to let him know because you never know he might actually want to do something like that (meet the people who are truly big fans of his work both Bond and non-Bond). I just hope he stays a least for a short period afterwards to talk to the fans.

I'll do my best. Unfortunately I can't really plan ahead too far at this point. If I can't make it happen, I'll plan something for us to do. Maybe get together in Pasadena or something. :)

You never know until you ask.

"Hey Pierce, How about a pint?"

Couldn't hurt...Maybe if Athena asks him just right.

Down Zencat! It's for CBn! :)

Uh, I have my own jet. No problemo. Just ditch that Zencat fellow. Or I could pick you up at the Santa Monica airport and arrange for a private viewing at 30,000 ft. on the DVD player. :)

Okay Zencat you can come for the jet ride also, and you can even bring that little red-headed guy who hangs around with you.

Really, I'm just trying to save you dude! Didn't you read that 3-wishes thing Athena posted earlier? :)
