The thing hanging out of Gerry's pocket is the strap for his Film Fest admission badge. I saw a few of them earlier this afternoon.
"Gone With The Wind on mescaline" is putting it mildly, as I can attest from personal experience. I live in Hinesville, outside the gates of Fort Stewart, just 35 miles away.
Eliza, JB MacRover, and I all spent the afternoon walking around downtown Savannah today. We hung out for a few minutes in front of the Lucas Theatre and the Trustees Theatre (which are the two venues for the screenings), in hopes of catching a glimpse of the big man himself, but no luck. We did have some fun walking around the "Pac-Man" squares (anyone who has tried driving around downtown Savannah knows what I'm talking about!) and taking pictures of some of the sights. We'll be going back to Savannah on Thursday (as previously planned) to visit some of the other cool things Savannah has to offer.
As for living here being an advantage in hearing about these appearances? Fat Chance!!! We're 30 minutes away, and had to find out about it on the net today, TWO days after the fact!
