NINE INCH NAILS and STAR WARS — what a kid to do?

Since we only have a week left to discuss our plans, I thought I would start the ball rolling. I assume from Ronnie and David’s insistence on going to see Star Wars tuesday that Ronnie is not off on Monday and David really wants to see Crash again. I really dont have the money to go see Crash. The other reason why I wanted to see Star Wars on Monday is that Amanda would be able to see it with us. But back to important things, that being Nine Inch Nails.

I am off on both Tuesday and Wednesday, so I am open to almost anything. We need to plan on being in Houston at least around 5 or 6PM. This would allow us to check in to the hotel, clean up, eat, and then go to the show. If we are to see Star Wars on Tuesday, then we will have to see it at least 6 hours before the show, which is at 8:00pm. As David and I will attest, it would be better to be there at least 30mins ahead of time, if we want to see the opening acts, or we could get there just in time and miss the first opening act, hehe. So we would have to leave at least around 4, and drive like bats out of hell.
Stars Wars will currently be showing at the Grand for these times on the 24th.

Since the movie is 2 hours long these are the only ones that would get us leaving Lafayette around 2 which would put us in Houston for 6, giving us 2 hours to check in to the hotel, get something to eat and then go to the show.
David leaves from Houston around 11am or 12noon to NY on the 25th. So we really wont have time to see SW on Wednesday.
But this all hinges on when we can leave. David, Ronnie and I have taken off for those days, I assume. Melissa are you off both days?

When do we want to leave for Houston?
We will either be taking my (no ac) car or David’s (dies in traffic) blazer or Amanda’s (not a lot of leg room, but has a/c and runs great) car, if she can make alternate plans for getting to work.

So post your ideas or questions.
