likes ice creamC. Robert Cargill (a.k.a Massawyrm) writer for Ain't It Cool News amongst other things was a guest on the Slashfilm podcast this week and he mentions that he just watched an original print of TESB for a friends birthday at a surprise screening in Austin in the past week or so.
He mentions Tim League so it's probable it was at the Alamo Drafthouse.
He's stats talking about it about 1 minute into the podcast: http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/10/26/ep-121-paranormal-activity-2-guest-robert-cargill-cool-news/
Also his tweet about it: http://twitter.com/Massawyrm/status/28481654293
I'm not on the twitter but if anyone as any questions about it I'm sure you could tweet him or just email him.
Who owns the print is anyone's guess. But kind of cool.

I am ready for the trials!Wow, two renegade screenings in the same year?
I have to wonder if anyone at Skywalker Ranch is brave enough to mention these little rebel incidents to the boss. ;)

likes ice creamI should add it appears it was a private screening and no admission was charged for the screening. So there's not much Lucasfilm could do about it, right?

I am ready for the trials!The Boston screening of that Technicolor SW print was free, and was publicized at least locally in advance.
What Lucasfilm could or would do is a good question. Of course, that would mean acknowledging people actually went out of their way to see the original versions. ;)
