CONTEST CLOSED to Win Passes to the Century Napa Valley Cinema VIP Night

CONTEST IS CLOSED, THANKS AND CONGRATULATIONS! Winners: Meet Louisa at the Century Napa Valley Wednesday at 6 for your passes.

For months, we've watched the construction of the Century Napa Valley 12-screen cinema in south Napa.

This week, at last, the state-of-the-art multiplex opens its doors to moviegoers.

The official opening day is Friday, Nov. 9. But I've been invited to bring some Napa Valley Patch readers along to the Grand Opening VIP Night this Wednesday, Nov. 7, starting at 6 p.m.

If you'd like to join Napa Valley Patch editor Louisa Hufstader for an evening of free movies, popcorn and fountain drinks at the North Bay's newest cinema Wednesday, welcome to our easiest contest ever. All you need to do is:

1. Leave a comment below with

  • your favorite movie
  • your name 
  • and whether you would like one pass or a pair of passes.

2. Meet Louisa in the lobby at the Century Napa Valley Wednesday at 6 p.m. to be among the very first people to experience the XD Extreme Digital Cinema with Dolby surround-sound and all the other amenities of the new multiplex. 

That's it! The passes are good for Wednesday night only, so check your calendar to be sure you can join us. The contest will last until we run out of passes.

Drive all the way around the building on Gasser, then Hartle, to reach the parking lot. See you soon!
Louisa Hufstader (Editor) November 8, 2012 at 12:00 am
In the lobby: Well, I saw some of you here tonight and it sounds like the rest of you got in without the passes I'm still carrying! I am sorry we did not connect, because I would like to have met you. Maybe next time. I hope you had a great night. Thank you for reading Napa Valley Patch.
William November 8, 2012 at 01:05 am
I received an email telling me that I had won tickets but there was no follow up to tell me when or where to pick up tickets.
William
Louisa Hufstader (Editor) November 8, 2012 at 10:35 am
William, you did not receive that email from me. To win from Napa Valley Patch, you needed to leave a comment on this article during the contest; I've never seen your name before this morning and did not send confirmation emails except to respond when people who did win contacted me with questions.

Is there any way to remove the blogs from the news page? Blogs are not news. They are opinionRead More pieces, and I would like more news. thanks!
Keri Brenner (Editor) June 17, 2013 at 05:41 pm
Hi Beau and F: Yes, the &#39 are still there and not going away. I trust that tech people areRead More working on this...Sorry. And as far as the blogs being on the news stream, I can't change that except to keep the blogs mostly at the bottom and the news on top. The new platform is designed to highlight the blogs more than they were before. Occasionally if there is a timely, useful or highly newsworthy blog post I will move it up, but in general the news will be in the first 5 slots and the blog below. Hope that helps. Keri
F Otterbeck June 19, 2013 at 12:08 pm
Promoting blogs instead of news makes the Patch less useful. I liked having an alternate newsRead More source. Blogger promotion is too much like stroking the egos of local bloggers rather than promoting news and information. It seriously compromises the value of Napa Valley Patch as a news source.
Louisa Hufstader (Editor) June 16, 2013 at 02:47 am
Go, Jamie! I voted, all the way out here in lobsterland where I hope you and Kevin will visit someRead More day.

Jamie, I have clicked on you several times and wish you the best! Salad sounds wonderful! Roberta

You're all so very kind! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Kimberly Olson June 14, 2013 at 08:18 am
It is easy to judge people from a distance. All of us have up and down times in life, none of usRead More have the same internal or external supports to deal with it all. Maybe those among us who feel superior could try to take a moment or more to see life from the perspective of someone who (even from a position of pain or vulnerability) has too much pride to accept the stigma of being in need of the social translation of "the lowest of the low" homeless shelter or addiction counseling. It feels good to try lifting others up rather than tearing them down; Maybe your smile or expression of something other than disgust could make a positive difference to move a person in need toward help.

I would like to respectfully suggest though that you break your future comments (and I hope there are many more) into paragraphs to make them easier to read. Thank you and I hope you well.

Not the case. It's definitely on the list of stories to cover. Absolutely! Thanks for the reminder!

I'd like to show appreciation to my grandfather on Father's Day. He taught me how to cook a roast,Read More garden, work with tools, use a shotgun and appreciate our surrounding waters. Always a patient man, my grandfather showed me so much. I got scared once when I broke a tool when we were building a skateboard ramp. He just replied with, at least you know not to do that anymore. I always admired how my grandfather loves my grandmother so much. That's old, true love. Fairy tail kinda stuff. Love we all want to grow old with. I love my grandpa with all my heart.
Keri Brenner (Editor) June 17, 2013 at 06:19 pm
Hi Loui Loui: Your grandpa sounds wonderful!
Unfiltered Steve Simoneau June 13, 2013 at 10:41 am
Loui Loui, it's called false pretenses and misleading claims. While I understand it's not theRead More editor's or tech's fault, releasing a product to the public as "New with better features!" shouldn't mean that it comes with glitches, bugs and frustration. And unlike Google+ and FB, Napa Valley Patch didn't "come out", we had a NVP that was working perfectly fine and Corporate Patch decided to upgrade. Can you imagine the ether-riots if FB did an "upgrade" full of glitches and bugs"?
Unfiltered Steve Simoneau June 13, 2013 at 10:54 pm
Actually, Loui, I left FB two years ago and haven't been back since. And while Patch and FB may beRead More "free" services they rely on users to exist. It's a symbiotic relationship, so both sides must be content for it to work efficiently.
MICHAEL WILSON June 15, 2013 at 10:24 am

Why the Hispanics need their own Chambers Of Commerce is a mystery to me. Racism is the promotion ofRead More one race above others. If I supported a White/Caucasian Chamber Of Commerce I'd be labeled a bigot and racist. One Chamber Of Commerce should suffice for ALL!
