BNAT 12 Guest List

December 2nd, 2010

[Note: This list was originally published on AICN. Those on the list should have already received confirmation, and those needing to purchase tickets should have already received a  link to purchase them from our heroic South Lamar GM, Kirsten Bell.]

Hey folks, Harry here with the lucky, talented & ungodly enthusiastic audience members of the 12th annual BUTT-NUMB-A-THON, known as THE DIRTY DOZENTH! Films are being confirmed, goodies are being acquired for the bags, tricks & torments aplenty are being planned & prepared. But most of all, the best part of the process. The most torturous for me – picking the Audience is done. I held back some seats, like always – for “talent” and for the team members of the Drafthouse that help make all this possible… and when we found out that due to Fire Marshall rules we can’t do folding chairs, that cut our audience down even smaller than any year other than our year at the RITZ.

This is for everyone that applied and didn’t get in, you are worthy. You are all awesome. I have to make at least 70 SOPHIE’S CHOICES every year that I do this, but with the videos and the pictures and just some of the heart and soul you people poured into these applications, I want you to know. I read them and I’ve watched them. I wish I could welcome all of you to this, my favorite day of the year – it’d be cool to hear what you thought worked and didn’t. To share those awkward bathroom moments when we run into each other. Don’t give up hope. Several folks that have never gotten in, got in this year – and I wish more could have. But…

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE ON THIS LIST… Know that you’re in for the best fucking day of your year. You’re going to meet friends you never would have met otherwise. You’ll get in strangers cars as though they’ve been life long friends. You’re going to see some really fun stuff – and this year, I’m really excited about – because this year will be MANDOM.
