Yay, you're coming too Sheryll? We've got quite a crowd going from this board alone.  The venue isn't that big, I think we're gonna dominate the room :)

I'm leaning towards ordering one of those new Castle shirts to wear to the event :)

I'm paying for the ticket when I meet up with m_hanh before the event.  :)

So excited!

I would like to assist Castle friends here who are attending the Evening with Castle.

 I was born and raised in the area where the event is taking place.

 It is being held separate from The Paley Festival at

Paley Center For Media

Both sections sold out before 10 AM  PST.

Wow.

3PM today the theater host said the lot is tiny and for their staff and discussion panel guests only.

 They said good luck with the parking there is a Barrell store across the street amongst some other lots but parking is limited to two hours until after 6 PM unless you can luck out and find a side street and park and they often have signs no parking from 8 AM – 6PM so the garbage trucks and delivery trucks can move through the old narrow streets of BH.

They pretty much said the place is so tiny that people don't line up early they come after 6 PM and walk right in but they have yet to meet Castle people!

When you don't have assigned seating it is first come first serve but they often save the first few rolls for family, friends and patrons of the theater so no matter how early you line up there, they are going to have the good seats taken.

It is a small venue so most seating will be awesome. I am vision impaired and I find anything from the 5th roll back I might as well watch on TV – concerts, plays and so on.

People can try and park in the parking lot maybe they won't say anything not sure what the signs they have posted say. I only know what I was told today when I called and talked to the staff.

You are welcome. Just have fun and enjoy it all. It is a rare treat. I'd sit in a tree to do this but seating is much more comfortable inside the theater, but don't quote me ok!

HAHA..ehh..sorrie Kitten..i should've check my Inbox first~  THX SO MUCH! LIFE SAVER!!

You're welcome :)

Oh and regarding parking in Beverly Hills, I had no problems finding parking across the street, there are various lots in BH, none are free so definitely be prepared to pay, everything in BH costs money.  My friend and I parked, got dinner at a fast food mexican place on the Paley side of the street and and then lined up.  There are other restaurants and places to eat in the area also, including some good cupcake shops, Sprinkles & Crumbs.

Thank you to all the California people who are giving us non-LA folks info about the event location and details we (as in me) would not know.. I didn't even know what to wear etc. (yes, I was going to wear clothes). I'm so excited to go and don't want to do anything that would be inappropriate before/during/after the event – so, thanks for the tid bits everyone is giving us.  In addition, thank you for addiitonal info on food, parking etc.. I'll have to digest all of this and try to determine the best time to get there, where to park etc. and BRING CASH, lots of it.. Cuz,it's beverly hills.. so, breathing it might be expensive … he he!
