Berkeley and San Francisco. :cool:

[Echosoftom]

Why did I know there wouldn't be one here in Sacramento? Maybe they'll add it later. I seriously doubt I'll be driving to the bay area in that crazy mad traffic on a Monday.

[Marion]

Closest for me is Atlanta. I don't think I'll be driving there. That is my least favorite city in the world!

[KansasPettyFan]

Fingers crossed for the next list.

[Mudcrutch]

Don't make me drive to Indy.. ! ahhh

pre-sale for Highway Companion Club Members will also be announced shortly

^ that is interesting, do they really think it will be hard to get into the show? considering there will be probably multiple showings for at least a few days...

[Magnolia]

Yahoo! San Diego and Berkeley!! I don't care that it's 4 hours long and
a school night!

Ryan, your're right about tickets. When The Concert for George played in
the theater here, it was only about half full. I don't think getting in is
going to be a problem. Especially since it is 4 hours long and a work night!
It'll mostly be us die-hards.

[surfnburn]

Holy shit... Three in No. Cal????? That never happens....
Woot...Santa Rosa, CA I'm there!

[Barnburner]

WHOO-HOO!!!!!!!!! :041:
Chances are it's showing at the Dallas Angelica which is only a 20-minute train ride away! :cool:

{Oh, and if anyway is thinking of coming to Dallas for the screening, let me know and maybe we can make a party of it! :003:}

[Echosoftom]

^ Sheila, are you trying to indicate that you're happy about the Dallas showing? LOL! ;)

[Gatorfan]

Detroit is on there....:041: And it's on my birthday!!! What a great gift!!!

Marion, I wish you and Sharon could come here for it!

[Doxiejoe]

Hmmmm....I feel a trip to Santa Rosa coming on....maybe take a few days off and make it a long weekend.

[Pettylicious81]

Now, if they brought it to St. Louis, I'd be driving there to see it :D

[Gator Girl]

Closest for me is Atlanta.
Same here--unless the film will be shown here in Gainesville.....and there is a really good chance of that happening. :)

Apparently no other cities will see this movie on a big screen now..

TOM PETTY (http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/four-hour%20documentary%20costs%20petty%20a%20cinema%20 run_1043800#) has lost out on becoming a big screen documentary star in America - because a new film about his life and career is too long for cinemas. Moviemaker Peter Bogdanovich's movie, Runnin' Down A Dream: Tom Petty + The Heartbreakers, will premiere at the New York Film Festival next month (Oct07), but, at four hours long, it won't hit other theatres. Instead, the in-depth documentary, which features interviews with Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Johnny Depp and archival and concert footage, will go straight to TV (http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/four-hour%20documentary%20costs%20petty%20a%20cinema%20 run_1043800#). America's Sundance Channel will debut the documentary on 29 October (07).

[Magnolia]

WHAT??!! Oh no!!!! :022:

[Mudcrutch]

^ confusion ensues.. that contradicts the tompetty.com release. i dont see why some independent theaters would not show it. i am guessing that article is pertaining to a wider release.

[surfnburn]

I agree with mud..lol

[emmie]

??? I rec'd it in an email from breakingnews@contactmusic.com

[surfnburn]

Makes you wonder, huh?

[Pettylicious81]

I hope it still does become a big screen event; After all, Titanic was three hours long and it got big screen time.....Why can't Tom? 'pouts'

[Echosoftom]

I mentioned this idea on another thread. Why not air this on PBS stations like they did Martin Scorsese's documentary of Bob Dylan? That would be the perfect place for it. That way it could easily be shown in 2 parts (like Bobs) and since most people have a PBS station, and not Sundance it would reach a wider audience.

ding ding ding

you need to be head of TPATH's management.

[KansasPettyFan]

Yes, she does!!!

I am fine and dandy on my couch watching it on my giant TV. :045:

[Echosoftom]

That's me too Teresa. I'm happy watching it in the comfort of my own home. :)

I don't need to hear other people yapping and cell phones ringing off distracting me while I'm trying to enjoy.

[surfnburn]

Yeah...you can't watch it naked at a movie theater.....LOL

[Echosoftom]

Okay, I just got an image of a bunch of people sitting around the movie theater naked, not pretty. :eek: :icon_laugh:

[Refugee]

LMAOOOOOOOO!!! Oh my. I prefer to see this show in the privacy of my own, so I can enjoy it my way.

[surfnburn]

^Seeeeeee? I bet Linda watches all of the TPATH videos naked...

[Refugee]

^ Ack! That would be a BIG NO! :p

[Pettylicious81]

I shall be happy to watch it also in the privacy of me room too :D

[KansasPettyFan]

Besides, there would HAVE to be a bathroom break or I wouldn't make it. lol

[LizzieB]

Ha ha! You guys are too funny. I'd rather see it in a theatre. GIANT TPATH for me, please.

But, if it does show in Dallas, I don't think I can do that. Even flying, I'd have to take some time off work and my vacation days are getting pretty thin at this point.
