  1. Here is the response i just got: Hello again Gene, I reached out to our IT team and they responded with: “New Houston members will be upgraded automatically on 11/5 and their free ticket will be there then. They'll show as Purple until that date.” In regards to mock service, we haven’t sent any email messages out regarding this yet… we simply have been posting to social media pages and reporting to the media regarding the mock service. You have been receiving all emails accordingly, so no worries on missing out! All the best, iPic ps...i am excited to see E.T. on the big screen again!!! haha! wednesday 6pm if you want to join!
  2. self parking is free! and wow i am shocked about the iPic opening early because there is absolutely no signage and from the looks of the windows, work is still being done (i drove by yesterday just to check it out)...so i am awaiting a response back from my contact at iPic headquarters (yes i made one because i am that excited about the theater haha!)...anyway i should hear something back today about the theater opening, movies, free ticket info etc....stay tuned! and one last comment...again, every time i have gone by no matter the time of day or day of the week it is an absolute ghost town...that WILL change i am sure once the restaurants, theater and gym are open in full force...but wow it is an odd feeling to drive by with workers all standing near the windows and doors bored and waiting for a customer to walk in (that is seriously what it looks like!) edited to add...i just heard from my contact! she said that yes these screenings are happening and if you signed up for the free membership you should show you are a sapphire member and should also be getting emails about these screenings happening this week!
  3. iPic opens Nov 6th! (some sites say nov 5th) you can purchase Spectre movie tickets on their site now...and dont forget to sign up on their site for the membership before the opening date so you can get a free upgraded membership (sapphire level) and 1 free movie ticket! i have already purchased my Star Wars 3D ticket for Dec 17th as well!
  4. The Jewel Box is coming along nicely! and the new interior (white wall paint, white tile and new brighter lighting) within the galleria is really brightening up the mall...gotta say i love it! (its coming along slowly and not finished but you can see what it ALL is going to look like when you go up the stairs from the food court to the second level landing...that area is pretty much finished) its nice to see that the Galleria is trying to up their game and hopefully more exterior improvements happen soon...(or at least a good powerwashing of the facade haha!)
  5. haha thanks Monarch! truly cannot wait for iPic to open in 2 weeks and 2 days and even more excited to see the new Star Wars there!!!
  6. haha well you are the OTHER mitchell in my book although i am sure you are just as awesome.... and hey everyone..SO freaking excited!!!! : Booking Confirmation Your booking is confirmed at Houston River Oaks District iPIC for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS 3D at Thursday Dec 17, 2015 10:45 PM Booking ID: WNNMZF9 Order Total: $24.00 Order Detail: 1 x Premium Plus - Member @ $14.00 1 x VIP Fee @ $10.00 Seating: C9
  7. yeah i think that is exactly why...it definitely looks and feels unfinished with so may unopened businesses and all the construction still going on etc (including the residential portion is still under major construction)...so when then apartments, restaurants and theater open i guarantee you there will be a different feel and vibe...and tons more people enjoying all it has to offer...cant wait!
  8. i went again this weekend just to show a few friends and honestly its like a ghost town for the most part...i cannot wait for the restaurants and theater to open so it will feel more alive and vibrant with pedestrians/shoppers/diners etc! it is beautiful at night though
  9. all i could read were the words "game changer" and think about how some people hate that term on here haha! i cant believe no one has posted about that yet
  10. i think Nov 5th is what i heard last and i think that is also the date it says the movie ticket is valid for (beginning Nov 5- Dec something maybe?)
  11. hey just a heads up...if you go to www.riveroaksdistrict.com then click on the entertainment tab, then iPic you will see a Become A Member Today tab. this will allow you to get a FREE sapphire membership for a year and a free ticket to a movie exclusive to Houston new members!
  12. i gotta say i love my part of town...living on the same street for 17 years (mccue at westheimer), uptown really has come a long way!
  13. koblenz germany is my most favorite place i have ever been in my life!!! i bought an amazing cuckoo clock there handmade at a little quaint shop then did the dinner cruise along the rhine river alongside castles all lit up with torches as the sun was setting...omg it was just incredible...
  14. Tritan get out of my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What you posted is exactly how i would have worded my post! You really are awesome and what you said was right on... this weekend was just amazing...i took the sunroof off my jeep and drove all over our beautiful city...friday night to ROD, then Saturday all over town for a photoshoot in the morning, then the bayou event saturday late afternoon until the awesome fireworks, then sunday discovery green in the morning and then later afternoon laid on the lawn of midtown park and enjoyed Rico's-Morning-Noon-Night .,,it was an absolutely beautiful weekend in our beautiful city and man i felt lucky to live here!
  15. went last night as well just to walk around...every store that was open was super incredible decor wise and the staff was always friendly etc. i think not wearing my nicest shoes allowed the sales people to leave me alone while i looked at all the items i will probably never buy haha! the project in general is beautiful as i have already said due to lighting and landscaping... i was disappointed that none of the restaurants were open yet as my budget always allows a nice meal, so i cant wait for those to open...in fact i probably wont return until that happens...so someone keep me updated! and wow the iPic is indeed on top of Cartier but no signage as of yet and in fact its hard to believe from looking at the progress that they are still saying it will be open around the first of November...so we shall see how that goes! anyway...check it out if you havent yet and dont forget to look for me tomorrow at the Buffalo Bayou Park Grand Opening! should be a fun day with this beautiful weather...wow!!! (and fireworks too!!! yahooOoOoOoo!)
  16. geez those comments! and in other news wow grand opening tomorrow!? thats awesome news! i will definitely be checking out the restaurants as they open!
  17. im vanilla as you can see from my pic but i love everyone and i better see all of you at the iPic!!! and omg so it IS above Cartier?!?! that is probably the same security guard that lied to me about their location!!!! doh!!!
  18. yeah wow that pis great and really do love all the work being done!!! I will definitely be at the park this weekend! http://buffalobayou.org/event/bbpark-grand-opening/
