I have seen roller derby matches in Dallas, Orange County, Austin and Los Angeles and Austin wipes all of them off the map with a great fun show. Props to Austin for making it cool.

My husband and I stood IN THE RAIN today for 5 hours! We got wristbands then when it was FINALLY time to go inside for autographs, all but 15 PEOPLE were turned down. If you only had time to let 15 people in for autographs, then only hand out 15 wristbands and don't waste people's time. You are trying to promote a movie to people to make them WANT to see it, but you succeeded in making so many people mad. I have such a bad taste in my mouth after today that I don't even care about the movie anymore...and get this...I am a DERBY GIRL!

We should AT LEAST get FREE movie tickets for standing in the rain so long and the media people that told us to leave did not even care. I guess you don't care about the people that make your job possible...without people, your promotional efforts would all be for nothing. Without people, who would watch your movies.

Don't even bother if you aren't at least the 15th person in line. My husband and I stood for 5 HOURS in the rain today and we were turned down. We were about the 54th and 55th person in line.

It's a promotional stunt. They had cameras on us outside the WHOLE time taking footage of the long line. They used us for their gain...we wasted a whole day with NOTHING to show for it.

They did a horrible job.

I too was at the meet and greet in Dallas, had a wrist band, stood in the rain for five hours and got turned away. Very, very disappointed to say the least! And so were the people around me. Don't think I'll go to another meet and greet ever. Very poorly planned. Wish I had read "Don't Bother" five messages below before wasting my evening. Drew can't be blamed i suppose, it's a business, i still will see her movies. Just was very disappointed with the whole evening having waited so long in the rain. On the upside Julie, I had no idea Dallas had such a huge roller derby following and so many teams, maybe i'll come see a real roller derby instead of the movie!

Really? Have you ever been on any kind of press tour? Do you know how many people want a pic with her or to meet her, there is just no way. Be appreciative for what she is doing for our sport and stop acting like a bitter little girl. We met her and she has been to a few of our bouts, very down to earth, just there with a few friends and kept a low profile. And the comment about "mom roles" I'm a mom,just about Drew's age and I will kick your ass on the track!

Saw her at a sneak preview in Michigan on 9/10. Drew took questions from the audience after the show, and gave props to the real Detroit Derby Girls in the movie. Movie making in the Detroit area is a reality; two new studios in construction here. Stars like Drew are definitely welcome back!

As a Station Manager at a college radio station (KXUA) I have full access to some airtime. Is there any way I could get a short phone interview so the people of Northwest Arkansas can get a sweet piece of the Whip It action?

I waited in line for 6 hours in the rain outside the urban outfitters only to be turned away with the rest of the line. not only was drew late, but they allowed for press interviews and 20 kiss fm contest winnners to enter first before our line started. i was only the 30th person in line, they cut the line off 5 people in front of me. what was the point of passing out wristbands and waiting in the rain for 6 hours if i wasn't going to get to do the meet and greet? i had tickets to go see the screening with the q&a after, but since i was in line for the meet and greet could not get my wristband for that (going on at the same time) i would have liked to see the movie but thought it would be more exciting to meet drew herself. to console us fans who had wasted our entire day, they gave us posters they had been passing out all day anyways. why couldnt they have had the q@a start late since drew made the meet and greet start an hour late? or why couldnt she take an extra 20 min. to sign 75 posters inside then pass them out in line. it wouldnt have been the same as meeting her, but atleast i would have gotten my autograph. i have nothing to show for my 6 hours devoted in the rain. thanks for nothing fox searchlight. it makes me sad because i have always been a huge supporter of your company and see all yalls movies...i will not pay to see whip it. i do not want any of my money to fund your shitty company who screws over its fans.
