Alright, I've been holding this news in for a couple weeks, waiting for the official announcement. And I just can't keep it secret anymore! It's my birthday, and I need to share the joy.
If you need another reason to attend the 30th AKA Convention in Ocean Shores, WA, how 'bout this...
On Monday, October 1, at 8:00 p.m., the world premiere of "The Kite Runner" will be in Ocean Shores (at the theater near the convention center), open only to convention attendees. The movie was filmed in part at Cesar Chavez Park in Berkeley, CA, using several AKA members. It's directed by Marc Forster, whose recent work includes "Stranger Than Fiction." This movie won't open in the rest of the world until early November, so come to Ocean Shores and get the jump on everyone else. Paramount Vantage Studios will also be handing out free goodies.
Don't forget the popcorn!
