A guest posted a link to this on another thread but I want to make sure everyone is aware of this... Milla Jovovich will be appearing in a Presentation & Q&A on behalf of Sony Screen Gems and ULTRAVIOLET
Saturday, Feb 25, 2006 from 5:00PM to 5:30PM, Special Events Hall at the Jacob Javits Center.
On behalf of Sony Screen Gems and her new movie ULTRAVIOLET, Milla Jovovich will be holding a short presentation and Q&A session. Set in the late 21st century, a subculture of humans has emerged who have been genetically modified, giving them enhanced speed, incredible stamina and acute intelligence. To the government’s dismay, more and more of the population are transformed, and they have set out to rid the world of this new subculture that they deem a menace to society.
One rogue warrior is bent on protecting her race – and seeking revenge on those who have fierce fighting skills and chameleon-like abilities, Violet (MILLA JOVOVICH) sets out to destroy a government-designed time bomb that will eliminate them all. ULTRAVIOLET opens in theatres nationwide on March 3, 2006.See here |

OMG OMG OMG
I can't believe I just bought tickets for my brother and me!
I just talked to my brother. Barring the unforeseen, we plan on going together next Saturday. He's a graphic novel artist and has been going to the Comic Cons for several years, hoping to show off his portfolio. And I'll be bringing something for Milla to autograph.
OMG
He suggested that I go in a Cleric coat. ;D I don't have one (I wish you could lend me yours Frivvy! ).

I'll try!!! ;D I'll bring a digital recorder too, just in case. Not sure if it would work in case the room is crowded. Maybe I should have bought the VIP fan package, which includes front row seating at all special events. But it's $100 and I'm only going one day.  Oh well!! |

Yeah, I went to Q&A's for both Serenity and EQ. They were both awesome. I'm sure that you'll love it. I wish I could go myself but that's just not going to work.

I wish you could go too, Jen!  Wouldn't it be awesome if a phalanx of EQ fans showed up? (I wonder if I'll see people wandering about in cleric coats or sweeper uniforms.  ;D ) Jen, did you get to ask questions? And will there be a transcript available of the Q&A afterwards? And did you have to go super early just to get a seat in? The autographing will occur right before the Q&A and a fifteen minute break. I'll probably have to go really really early to get in line for that since it's only thirty minutes long (4:30-4:45 pm)? I'm so excited! We don't plan on driving there since parking is always murder in the city, and with the Comic Con it will be a nightmare, so it's public transportaton for us. We'll be taking the ferry from Staten Island then the train uptown. My brother will be bringing his SLR, and I'll be bringing my digital camera. |

Yep, I have the 300 book, I guess it's what you call widescreen! lol OMG, I'll have to bring a backpack... for the book, the pictures of Milla I just bought off eBay, my EQ dvd cover (just in case Kurt will be there), and a few socks just in case I can have Milla or Kurt autograph them for my friends. I might bring a UV poster too if I can get one in time. |

Hey guys, I don't want to create too many original pages for UV but if you two will take some good notes and pix for us I'll put one on the site.

I don't know if I can take really good notes and take really good pictures at the same time, so maybe Fabio can do one or the other. I take very good notes, so maybe Fabio take the pictures? Friv, what sort of socks do you like? Crew, ankle, kneehigh, toe socks? |

Ankle socks it is! ;D White, right?? Fabio, I just remembered, I upgraded to the VIP package so I get to sit in the front-- I think. So that means I could take better close-up pics. I could use my brother's SLR or my 5mp digital cam. Can you take good notes?? |

Oh Amie..I don't know...I could try,I'll take as many pics as I can anyway...but don't worry I try to take notes too since I have somebody to help me out.
Amie how dare you upgrade to the vip package?damn now I'm thinking about it too..but for this whole Milla thing we ( with the regular ticket) have to pay something right?or no?not that it matters but just out of curiosity

Fabio, hold off on that VIP thing, you might not need it. I'll have to make more inquiries but it looks like a VIP ticket won't get me zip as far as the Q&A is concerned. A regular ticket might be all you need. Also, we're going to need to get special tickets for the autographing. The tickets are free but they won't be issuing them until 8am that morning because of the high demand, and it's on a first come, first served basis! So be prepared to get in line real early! |

Damn...thank you for the information on the vip thing Amie,I actually just got the ticket for friday also,the reason is I have so much stuff to get signed,I can barely carry my backpack and if I go on friday I can get good part of them signed so saturday I have more "free time" to do stuff.Hey Amie I don't know if you like the idea but we could meet over there and take a couple of pictures together so we can show people here

I still don't know about the VIP thing. The site says the VIP package entitles the VIP ticket holder to front row seating at most special events and major screenings. Well, Milla's Q&A is described as a screening, and it's the Special Events Hall. It may be the guy I talked to on the phone has the wrong info, or maybe he's right! Arrgggh! I'll have to call again tomorrow. |

Yep, I attended! I didn't get autographs because they ran out of tickets for the autographing session before I got to the booth. There was a high demand for those, and there were people who had arrived at 5am to wait in line! My brother woke up late so we arrived at the center at around 8am. On a positive note, I did get to the Q&A and got to sit in the front rows almost in front of Milla! I took video of almost the whole thing, which lasted around 30 minutes. She was very sweet, she actually hugged one of the fans and a little girl, and she lead us all in a rousing song of "Happy Birthday" for the brother of one of the fans who asked questions! I have video of that. She's a great singer, actually! ;D I didn't see Fabio, I hope he got some good pictures and notes too!! I forgot to mention that Kurt wasn't there, but that was to be expected. I'm sorting through the video now. I'll put them up for download and I'll have a transcript of them as soon as I can. ;D |
