hey cassie,

i'm in the library right now and don't have the tickets, but the Onmyoji movie showing will be on Tuesday, beginning at 7:30, at the Loews Theatre in Printers Row, downtown. hopefully you can find the rest of the information out. as far as what it is, it is an opening screening for the movie by Pioneer (there is no distribution for it in the US).

I will get you more information when i can get back to a ticket.

you should try to make it there early, since it is actually in an "overbooked" status (at least that's what they say) to have the theatre full. i think being there at or before 7pm might be best.

btw, use the forum! i am posting this here, and i hope you respond on there.

make the subject line more eye-catching, like "free exclusive onmyoji screening at downtown" or something like that. something that will really really entice them to read it ^_^.

Dont mind the typos...I'll fix those before I send it. Ill be sending it out tonight so, if there are no replies then, that's what they'll read - sans typos. ^_^
