Are the Teslas going to park out in front of the theater on Mamaroneck or in back in the parking structure? I personally typically avoid driving my Tesla in downtown White Plains. I thought that Jacob Burns up in Pleasantville would have done something like this by now but I don't think they have.Originally Posted by RoadsterWarrior
Wow sounds like fun! I'm tempted to go...
If you haven't watched it, this is a much better movie than you'd expect--even if it is a little GM heavy.
Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from a rigged demonstration.

An expensive theater up here charges $9 for a movie. Revenge often shows for free to raise public awareness. Or for the theater's normal price. Is this a fund raiser? Or is Chris charging a fee?
Chris doesn't really have control on distribution. It's out through several channels; and several are providing it free. I've been to several screenings in my state (I usually do Q&A afterwards) that were free from a PBS affiliate. Hulu had it free for a while. I think it was on a broadcast channel this week. There's another free screening near me tonight; I don't even know who's putting that on, but I'll be there.
The PBS ones were edited down to an hour. The DVD is 90 minutes, plus there's a bunch of bonus footage. For plug-in enthusiasts, it's great stuff. But even non-enthusiasts generally agree it's a really nice documentary about the difficulty of launching a new industry.
For those of you who didn't click on the link, hcsharp is referring to the fact that the tickets cost $25. Most theaters around here charge over $10 a ticket ($10.50 where I usually go). This particular theater has a "director's hall" with nicer seats whose tickets are usually $14.75. So I am not sure who is pocketing the difference. I had never heard of nyclhvcc but they seem like a reasonable organization with the following mission statement:
"Incorporated in 2007, New York City and Lower Hudson Valley Clean Communities has been tasked with providing support and management skills necessary to advance the regions economic, environmental, and energy security by building local public-private partnerships towards promoting the use of technologies and practices that reduce petroleum consumption throughout New York City and Lower Hudson Valley (Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam counties)."
They are setting aside a place on the sidewalk for the Teslas with velvet stanchions!
