Don't forget to bring your uke for a giant strum-along. Please help spread the word.
Thanks

I got my tickets! The Egyptian is a great theater, with a courtyard in front. That's probably where the luau will be. Lots of old Hollywood history there. This is not the one with the footprints in cement, which is down the street a few blocks, so make sure you go to the right Grauman's theater. Sounds like lots of fun. It's a good deal too; dinner, live ukulele act, and a movie for $12.00 a person (which includes process fee).

I got my tickets too. It should be an exciting evening. Yes thanks Lori - I should have specified it's NOT the Chinese Theater but the Egyptian. It would be great to meet up with other UU'ers.

This is a GREAT movie - they just showed it in Fort Lauderdale last weekend, and we really enjoyed it!

Thanks for the info. Was hoping this would be coming around soon.

I think you need to call in sick on that Saturday Landshark!

Wish i could but I am working out of town that weekend

Ronnie Aloha · Jul 27, 2010

Is the luau and entertainment included in the cost of the ticket?

Ukedani · Jul 27, 2010

I would assume so since the press release sent to me didn't say anything about add'l costs for dinner, etc. But may be good idea to bring extra $$ just in case. I tried to find more info on the Mighty Uke website but I didn't see anything.

Ukedani · Jul 27, 2010

I know it won't be the same as being there but perhaps one of our more techie-minded UU'ers can capture some of the festivities on video? I would offer but I have no idea how to do such a thing (yet).

I tried clicking on the Read More link -- but it was a dead end.
Looks like dinner and entertainment is included in the price. They have added more info on the performers since this morning.

Thanks for digging up that info Lori. I didn't think to look on Fandango. Next question is: what uke are you going to bring?

Aloha · Jul 27, 2010

Tempting, I wish I lived closer to Hollywood...

Nah!

I will bring one of my Kala Dolphin ukes. I would get too stressed-out if I brought one of the others. Since there will be eating, and movie watching, I want to be relaxed and not worry about people testing it out, or bumping it, etc. So, I have a choice, bright blue or orange burst!

The Fandango listing now has a $20 listing and a $12 for general. I wonder if that is for the dinner too. I can't miss this.

Ukedani · Jul 27, 2010

That is curious. All I know is that I got my tickets right after I received the email from the director and posted it on UU. Maybe I can contact the director/producer and get some clarification.

Ukedani · Jul 27, 2010

Well all I have right now to bring is my Kala Acacia concert.

Yes, let us know what you find out. Did I miss something this morning when I ordered, or did they change the ticket choices? Fandango is not very clear on it's listing right now. I will try and contact someone at the Egyptian Theater and see what I can discover.

Lori, you didn't miss anything. The link did not show a $20 option until the end of the day, probably after 7:30 to 8 p.m.
