Yeah, what Big Spoon said, plus, do we get to KEEP the 3-D glasses, or do they use recycled ones.

Seems like it would get a bit pricey to give everyone a free pair (even of cheap glasses), but it also has a bit of an EWWW factor wearing used 3-D glasses covered with sunscreen, sweat and who knows what else. :blink:

I'd guess you'd have to return the glasses once the movie is over.

You do have time to read the factoids in the anteroom. You spend about 10 minutes there (that is, the length of the actual 3D movie playing for the people ahead of you). Wait time I'd guess varies, but probably not more than 10 or 20 min. And if you're fast-tracked, less.

When you're handed the 3D glasses, you also get an alcohol wipe in a little sealed envelope so you can sanitize away that ewww factor. And then you do have to drop them off on your way out of the attraction.

Cool. Thanks for the info, Helen.

A portfolio of Al's Brain artwork. Some of it I don't recognize. Some of it I think is in the factoids anteroom.

Some thoughts about one of the "stars" of Al's Brain. Sort of.

Al's Brain is awesome! I have seen it five times so far
SPOILER Diana West Paul McCartney Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim,Paul Scheer, Tom Lennon, Patton Oswalt, Fabio and a few more I recognise but can't put a name to appear

The song is totally awesome, and it sort of horrifies me that it will never be officially available as a Weird Al song. I hope it leaks out sometime... It was certainly worth coming to see it for that reason alone. The whole movie has an Old School TWAS feeling which is great, and it good to know that Al made this movie just for ME! Nancy says it was for her, but we watched it 5 times so I KNOW he was pointing at me! ;) :lol:

The 3D effect brought back sweet memories of Columbus, and I must admit I almost felt faint when SPOILER flying Al swooped right into my face Anyone who's never had Al up in their face before needs to see this movie, because the effect is very like Oh and Al looks great in this by the way, not that he doesnt anyway.. just saying. I could watch this 24/7
Do i know much more about the Brain than I did? No idea.. its about...yaybig, and pinkish, and Al has one, but Al can tell me that a million times if he wants. I wish there was some way to carry on watching this without being at the OC or Puyallup Fair

Loved Al's Brain, and the song is terrific - wish I'd known it a few months ago when I was being tested on the nervous system! It would have been very useful.

The crowd response made me very happy. When the film opens and Al says hello, people in the crowd said hi back to him every time. (sorry if that's a spoiler, ha) There was a lot of laughter, and applause at the end of each show.

Oh, and Lou? He was pointing at ME. ;)

There was plenty of time to read the factoids early in the day - later on, when the crowds got larger or if we were the last ones into the holding area, it would have been more difficult. The wait time outside was never more than 10 minutes. Early in the day, we walked right in.

Aw, I'm so jellus! Anyone going to see this on Friday? I know I'm managing to drag my family all across the world to see this, but I doubt they'll want to watch it more than one time (it's a miracle they want to watch it even one time, considering they can't understand English that much).

I want to do the fangirl squee with someone who gets it. Anyone? Bueller?

If you pay my way to LA I will be thrilled to see it with you as many times as you want! :lol:
