Holy fucking SHIT did I shoot a lot of photos today. First it was E3, then I went straight from there to Arclight Cinemas for the opening of Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith. I went through a 1 GB card and another 256 MB card, and I was editing images on the fly. I need to buy more CF cards!
My good friend and fellow Electronic Mayhem writer Ryan Hedge is a cog in the Arclight machine (he works in their office), so suffice to say, we wound up with some pretty spiffy Dome seats, with tickets in hand 5 weeks ago. I was tempted to eBay my ticket for a fraction of a second (some people were paying upwards of $350 a pop for tickets that weren't as good) but I do like seeing movies at the Arclight, so I wasn't about to do that.
For those of you who don't know, there is a little bit of history as to why there was an influx of nerds at this particular screening. People in costumes, news media, the whole shebang. The Arclight is regularly regarded (especially by me) as the highest quality theater in all of LA, which probably makes it the best theater in the world, so it's also no surprise that they sold out NINE midnight showings of this movie.
I have so many photos from today, and I'd obviously like to space them out, but since this is all from a few hours ago (I got out of the movie at about 2:30 AM, and it's 4:30 now), I'd like to get them all on the internet while they're still smoking fresh. So, I'm going to post the whole lot in one go. These aren't even post processed in any way. Straight off the camera.
