So I was one of the "19" that got chosen for this walking tour. I got the email this morning saying I have to reply by noon today and sign this waver.

I wonder if anyone else got the email as well, as I find it hard to believe I was one of the first 19 to respond as I didn't sent my email till several hours after I seen it announced.

Does anyone know anymore about what this entails? @Ms. Mod

Here is my email in its entirety.

Can you be more specific about what information you're missing?

Well, I'm not really "Missing" anything. I mean as you can see I have all the details. I guess I was just wondering if you knew ANY MORE details, lol, I honestly didn't expect to get this as I was so late responding. Didn't know if you had any knowledge of what to really expect on this thing. I know its a movie promo thing, but do you know what the "surprises" are? Or with it being so close to release of the movie, do you think a "surprise" screening is involved somehow? I guess if you know some of these answers you probably cant tell, but don't hurt to ask. Maybe you could PM me? wink wink.

That's why I was confused.

If I told you (even in a PM), it wouldn't be a surprise. :zip_it: :smile2:

uggghhhhhhh,lol I knew it!! The reason I ask is I didn't really make any plans to drive to NY Sunday morning, and while it is exciting to get chosen I just wanted to see if it was worth it, not just walking around NY a few hours looking at street corners with an app I don't have.
BTW I am totally ok with the "surprise" being ruined.

How about a "If I was you I wouldn't want to miss this thing, something pretty cool is planned" or "Its just a movie poster and a grab bag of promo stuff"

I know I'm pushing it, but I am torn on this and have until noon to confirm.

I'm really not at liberty to say. It would be breaching the production company's confidentiality which is something I take seriously. Even if I did honestly say it's pretty cool, though, that's a subjective thing and you might not have the same experience. Sorry, I know that's probably not much, if any, help but it's all I can say.

Completely understand, I will let it rest. I sent my conformation. So I guess I will see what its all about. Thanks for going back and fourth with me. Still very curious tho.

Wasn't trying to sound ungrateful, its just an unplanned 4 hour one way trip on a days notice that's all. Just digging for more info. Can't blame me.
Understood what you were asking, and did not take as ungrateful. Surprises can but fun but also frustrating. If you can, tell us about the adventure when you return. Have a good time, safe travels.

Just got a second email reply from "Todd" apparently they are keeping this location secret until last min. I was told I will get another email detailing exact location tomorrow after 5pm for the event the next morning. But said for planning purposes its in Midtown Manhattan at around 10am.

So the plot thickens, haha.
