Should be a fun event. Hope to see some familiar faces tonight.
The only event I've been to at the Ritz had a smaller poster run (Rashomon), and there still weren't tubes. Tubes are unlikely.

*"360ish" is based on the theater size and the fact that there are two screenings tonight. Do not assume that this means I know what the final edition size is, as I don't. Dumb that I feel the need to post this clarifying statement, but it's come to that, so..

Billy does do a lot. I saw him after the show the next day and he was just standing in front of the gallery like this:

Fitting, because at the gallery on Friday, he was standing on the back bench shouting at Ken Preda-Taylor - COME ON! I'M HERE! KILL ME NOW! DO IT!

The main difference here is that the Taxi Driver print is included in the price of the ticket. Generally, the screenings where this is the case (MMM, CITW preview, etc) included a tube since it is already accepted that you will be taking home a print. However, the majority of screenings are simply the base cost of the ticket and then you can choose to buy the print before or after the show (Summer of '82, Film Foundation, etc). Who knows what it will be tonight but it is true that the Ritz lobby space is awfully small to accommodate tons o' tubes.

Yeah, Adventure Time didn't have tubes, just got the plastic bags... (and that one did include the print with the cost of the ticket)

Good point. I'd like to see pics if they do bring tubes. That'll look funny.

Stupid newbie question: someone said that any leftovers from the Mondo Stout/Taylor show would be dropped online at some point, even that the variants that "sold out" at the show had some stock held back for a drop. Is this true or just a malicious rumor meant to break my heart?

Anything sold out will not be online via mondo. Stout will have a lotto for his portion of all prints though.
