How you can participate: Option 2, for the spectator
Okay, in response to the last post, I don’t think I live in an ideal world. The theater is not going to be filled with true 24-hour maniacs. We understand that. Just the way the world is. We’ll cope.
So there are going to be open seats in the theater unless we open this event to the regular, ticket-purchasing public, and we don’t want empty seats. We’ll be selling tickets to each screening as per usual, only the number of tickets sold will be limited by the number of diehards already occupying the space.
So you won’t be like the priests in training standing beside me atop the temple in Tenochtitlan, watching as I remove the heart of the sacrificial victim that is each screening of Snakes on a Plane. Instead, you will be the masses of Aztecs down below. And there’s nothing wrong with being part of throng of Aztecs. Those dudes were damn tough.
In other words, you will be spectators. And for the price of a regular ticket, purchased for any of the 11 screenings in the 24 hour period, you’ll get to watch both the most anticipated movie of 2006, as well as the human spectacle of those of us who are in it for the long haul. That, my friends, is what I call a bargain.

For those who do attempt the 24 hours, are there any rules about bathroom breaks?

The rules are this: you can go to the bathroom whenever you want. You can fall asleep, I don’t care about that. I’ll be staying awake the whole time, but that’s cool if other people fall asleep. Hell, bring your sleeping bags if you want to. The only thing I would say is no leaving the actual Alamo building. Okay, maybe if you’re a diehard smoker we’ll come up with something to allow you to step outside.
