Michael thanks for posting this!
Brad and I were chatting just last night, and I was telling him how much of a schmuck I felt like for not recalling your first name, especially since you were a guest in my home! I'm sorry!

All...
Brad and I determined it would be best to meet up in and around the site where they filmed.
Specifically:
Brad and I are going to leave our respective homes around 4:00, with the goal of reching the mall by 5:00 to 5:30.
Though I personally down-played the concept of having dinner together as a group, I suggested to Brad that we meet up in the bar at TGI Fridays, which is the closest restaurant to the film location.
Meeting inside the restaurant will be more comfortable, and alleviates waiting around in your car in a parking lot. Plus they have beer taps!
So...
Fyfe and I (and hopefully the rest of the group) will:
--Park near the filming area
--Meet at the TGI-F bar between 5:00 - 5:30
--GET HAMMERED
--Head out to the filming area to take photos between 5:30 - 6:00
--Move on to the theater/line at 6:00
--Enjoy the show
--Return to the filming area after (and at night) for more photos
--Then call it a night
On the map, the Doc Brown panel van was parked right at the apex of the lowest oval, which is about where we will park. Note TGI-F to the lower right of this oval.

In this shot, the oval represents the location of Doc's panel van.
The lines are the path of the DeLorean, and the flame trails.
The red spot is about where the spinning plate was.
The box represents the approximate location of the photo-mart set piece.
Note TGI-F in the lower right, just peeking in the photo.

No worries, we'll save you both a seat. Mrs.Slave1pilot next to me and your seat will be in the back of the theather.
If that's the case, then you have to buy her Popcorn, Goobers, and a Coke.

Well...
since we are gonna be there, is anyone gonna try and retrace the route of the Delorean in the parking lot?

Nate I was going to bust your balls for being a show off, or for your "one-upmanship", then I saw the BTTFTour tag!
How funny - I did that photo I posted off memory of a screen cap I grabbed a couple of nights ago. Never knew that there was a map out there already!

Do you guys think it's a good idea to get tickets ahead of time? There's four theaters showing the movie in the Tampa Bay area, so hopefully it shouldn't be too crowded...then again, I don't wanna head over there and find out all the tickets were sold out or something.

Okay, for all of us meeting at TGI Fridays, I thought I would represent the RPF and make sure some props were brought. SO, for the first 2 people to buy me a beer (or alchoholic drink of my choice) at TGIF's gets a copy of my TALES FROM SPACE comic with 1950's repro comic inside!!
Can I call the bar and buy you a beer on my VISA over the phone?
I wish! Thanks man. Let me know if you want one, I'll give you the "at the bar" price.
