"Woo Hoo" is Right! That is wonderful news.
Please make your attendance known to others down in the Film Festival threads and check out what screenings / events some of the rest of the gang are planning on attending. I'm sure many would be excited to meet you next weekend.
Congratulations Yancey!

*"Anyways I am having issues seeing the July schedule. Can anyone tell me who is the Star of the Month? Thanks."*

And I believe there is no single "Star Of The Month". TCM is saluting B-Movie Cowboy stars. (Or as I call it, Poverty Row Westerns Month.) Nights are turned over to Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Dick Foran, Ken Maynard, etc.

*"Then again on FRIDAY NIGHT 4/29 at 10:30pm at the Music Box we will also also try to meet on the outdoor ROOF GARDEN area of the Music Box (follow the lobby stairs up to the second level)--away from the live music."* - Jono
Are you sure the "Roof Garden" will be open that night?

Last July, TCM devoted one evening to films without a music score. (No original dramatic score.) The line-up was -
*Yesterdays' Enemy* (1959) premiere
*Fail Safe* (1964)
*Network* (1976)
*Executive Suite* (1954)
*Interiors* (1978)

*"To put it bluntly you are hopelessly naive..."*
Members such as myself and 'filmlover' have been called many things over the years but never "naive." The idea that the workings of TCM are beyond our experience or expertise is really quite humorous.
The upgrade to the monthly schedules continues to be a work in progress. The problems that currently exist will be resolved.

The Music Box Theater
I believe The Music Box is going to be set up in a similar configuration to the photo above - with cocktail tables complete with table lamps. It will attempt to recreate the nightclubs found in the films of the '30s & '40s, like *Ball Of Fire* or *The Awful Truth* ("My love is gone with the wind. Woo-Woo-WOO") Attention has been paid to all sorts of details to make the scene as authentic and fun as possible.
I do expect there to be a dancing area too so bring those boogie shoes.

Didn't it say that details and schedules would be available at the Festival Information Desk? If not about the shuttle, it said that about something going on next week.
There will be a lot of information about events and other services made available next week at the Info Desk in the Lobby area. Be sure and stop by - if only to pick up your screening pocket guide.

Hi Marysara -
The Buck Rogers serial starts this Saturday morning (April 23). For some reason it isn't on the monthly schedule. It the Now Playing guide, the titles are listed by the name of each individual chapter in the serial. Hence, this Saturday at 11am (8am PDT) Now Playing lists "Tomorrow's World" (1939) which is Episode One of *Buck Rogers*. Episode Two follows at 11:30am (8:30PDT).
It appears that two episodes will be shown every Saturday during the 11am (8am PDT) hour until the series is complete.

I found some new and interesting items in the Festival website. There is a new "Festival 101" page on the site with some really good information. And a few other surprises have been slipped into the website too.
*Festival 101 FAQ*
A great guide for some answers to popular questions about the Festival in general and for events that are specific to the 2011 Classic Film Festival.

*Perks for Matinee Passholders!*
TCM has arranged for Matinee Passholders to take part in two special activities scheduled for the evening hours next weekend. There will be a special Spectator's Gallery set up at the Chinese Theater so Matinee Passholder's can watch the arrivals for the Opening Night Gala on the Red Carpet. Bring your camera and get that picture of Robert Osborne, Alec Baldwin or many of the Festival's Special Guests as they arrive for the screening of *An American In Paris*.
Also, Matinee Passholders are invited to attend the performance by Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks at the Music Box Theater Friday night. The event is free to _all_ passholders.
*TCM Festival Studio Production Schedule*
If you want to watch Robert Osborne or Ben Mankiewicz film some of their Festival pieces, TCM is putting a "studio" in the Lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel. Beginning Wednesday, the affable hosts will be recording pieces to be shown on TCM during Festival Weekend and we're all invited to watch. (Ben Mankiewicz is also filming around the pool of the Roosevelt Hotel.) There is tentative schedule of taping times through Saturday posted in the "Festival 101 FAQ".
*Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks* Live at The Music Box
Got friends in Southern California and want to include them in a TCM Classic Film Festival event? The appearance of Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks live at the Music Box Theater is open to the public! All passholders (including Matinee passholders) have free admission and General Public admission is available for $20.00 ($10.00 w/ student I.D.) The performance begins at 9:00pm and ends at 11:30pm. There will be a limited number of shuttles (passholders only) running from the Roosevelt to the Music Box Theater (and back, I hope) that evening.
*Silent Auction to Benefit The Film Foundation*
TCM is holding a silent auction of a Gibson guitar which has been specialy designed and decorated to honor the movie *Shaft*. The guitar will also be signed by Festival Special Guest Richard Roundtree. Proceeds from the auction will be donated to The FIlm Foundation in support of their ongoing mission to preserve motion picture history and TCM will match the winning amount by donating an equal amount to The Film Foundation as well.

I am no fashion maven or arbiter of tasteful attire. It means little to me when you write "I'm not seeing people in cocktail attire." I'm not familiar with the term as a certain style. That's my shortcoming and not yours. If it helps, I think the recommendation is to find something between "formal" and "business casual".
If you would like a "guide" on what you might wear to the Opening Night Gala, how about thinking "What would Holly Golightly wear if she were attending the Gala in 2011?" If that is "dressier" than you expected and not already in your wardrobe, then I am sure what you do have that is closest to that idea would be fine. If what you have is "dressier" and you think you'll be overdressed, let it go. Make your choice of attire and "own it." Go have fun.
You will see all sorts of attire that evening. Whatever you decide, I think you'll be one beautiful rose in the bouquet of women on the Red Carpet.
If others can offer some guidance, please chime in.

*"People are tired of TCM showing naked moves which should be shown on HBO..."* - sheri10
Nudie Movies on TCM? How in the hell have I missed all those?
Oh. Maybe you are referring to *Tarzan* and *Ecstasy*. "Move along. Nothing to see here."

Vince Giordano at The Music Box Friday night
in Questions and Concerns

My turn for a question about Friday night's performance at The Music Box.
Does the performance start at 9pm or do the doors open at 9pm?
If the performance starts at 9pm, what time do the doors open?
