Yes, you read that right: party is plural! There’s no way I’ll be able to coordinate a time that will work for everyone involved based on the times given, so I’m just going to do two and you can come to one or both; whichever works best for you!
Not the Americas: Since y’all’s times are easier to coordinate, we’re going to watch it at 11PM JST, December 13th. That’s 1AM AEDT (on December 14th!) and 2PM GMT (Dec 13th), so this should work best for everyone on the opposite side of the world. That’s 6AM for me, so I may be a little groggy, but I’ll set five alarms on my phone and be there with lots of coffee.
The Americas: Since late night works best for everyone, we’re going to watch the movie at 1AM EST, December 14th (10PM PST, December 13th). This is 6AM GMT and 3PM JST.
Put more simply, the Not the Americas watch party is happening first, and we’ll finish the day off in the Americas. I kept trying to write out a chart but it just got really confusing, so as we get closer to the time, I’ll either put together a spreadsheet or draw a map or something (as long as that also doesn’t end up being super confusing). If you’re not in one of the above time zones and want to figure out when we’re watching it, I’ve been using this to make sense of it all. If anything at all is confusing, please feel free to leave me an ask or reblog and I’ll reply to the notification and get it sorted.
That’s it, friends! I’ll make a couple announcements throughout the week so we don’t forget, and then I’ll have the link here on my tumblr and public twitter (that’s @heikeha). Feel free to join, even if you haven’t filled out either of the polls. I promise this is one of the best, most absurd movies you’ll watch. I’ll be testing out Synaptop this week to see if that’s really the best platform for this (it probably isn’t and we’ll probably be watching it on Ustream).
