thanks.

Is there a larger, discount price? Like, pay $20 and get into any shows you want during the marathon?

While I don't know the answer to your first question, I do know the second. Yes, the theater is indeed being cleared between each show. The audience will be whisked away to the green room after each show. After that, the next audience will ascend the stairs.

There are discounts and incentives for people to see multiple shows. I believe Andy is working on exactly what these will be.

Every ticket is $5 officially, but there will be many incentives to stick around for as many shows as possible.

When people buy a prime-time ticket (7pm-11pm) they get a free ticket to the off-time show of their choice.
We will also offer anyone buying a ticket the chance to buy a ticket for the next show at a discount.
And there will be a marathon pass that gets you into as many shows as you care to watch.

Starting a new thread to go over filming game plan.

Just scored Gnap!'s Lola format and players for the 6pm on Saturday show. If you missed it the first time, you've got a chance at a do-over this weekend.

I just slept from 2am to 1pm. I'm trying to get myself ready for this thing. I've been keeping sporadic hours, stayed up until 8am a couple of nights. Who knows if any of it matters.
We'll see!

I slept from 3am to 10:30am, at which point Tom Booker and I moved a couch to the Hideout to be the BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE. For a mere $20 extra, you can sit in that seat during any given show.

Tom Booker gets to sit in it at least once for free.

Oh, hey, and if anyone out there is feeling neglected, send me an email or text and we'll get you in more of the marathon somehow, somewhere.

This is for the community, and there's nobody out there that we don't want involved.

I got up at 8 am and went to work...and might not get out of here until 4!

This should up the difficulty level for me

I'm at once scared for those going the full 40 hours and deeply jealous of them.

Andy: I'll be by the hideout in 1 hour. I've done the setup a couple of times, but shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'll try to make it every 6 hours or so, but as I've mentioned previously and on numerous occasions, I'm moving this weekend.

I might bring my sleeping bag and stay the night...
