We’re not gonna pay… RENT!

Well I can’t say that I know people in high places but I can say that it pays off to be nosey sometimes.  I e-mailed the local radio station WQEN 103.7 The Q yesterday inquiring about whether they knew of or were sponsoring any midnight viewings of Rent.  They usually sponsor a midnight viewing of the bigger openings and I figured they were the best place to start after calling four local theaters all of which stated they would not be having a midnight screening.

Well, it turns out that it definitely paid off to e-mail The Q.  I got a prompt reply back from Tommy Chuck (the afternoon personality) that asked for my name, address, numbers & DOB.  He said I would have 4 tickets waiting for me at the station.  Now that in itself is not the bid deal.  The big deal is that it’s for a Tuesday evening Private Screening before the release on Wednesday.  I’m very much a happy person now.  Almost giddy I might say.

I can’t wait.  I’m getting so excited about seeing Rent on the big screen finally.  It’s been way too long to have to wait.  After seeing it on stage 5 times (which certainly isn’t enough), it’s about time for the movie.  And even better than just the movie being out is the fact that this will be my first time to see several of the people who originated thier roles in the original Broadway version.

I’m counting down the minutes....
