“ i'm wondering if we can have ways to signal where the group is sitting, ot, at least, if we can have a set place to meet in the lobby AFTER the film. i have been late to the last 2: the 1st, i just could not find parking for quite a while; the 2nd, tonight, i had the time wrong (thought we were meeting at 7, my mistake). i don't mind sitting alone, duh, if i'm late, but to miss the whole point of going at a particular day and time seems unnecessary. can we have a backup plan for poor late, wandering souls like me? thanks.... ”
