STAR TREK: MOVIE MEET UP, THE RESULTS ARE IN!!
Ladies and Gentlemen (…or maybe just ladies, IDK); I think the poll for deciding the Great Star Trek Re-viewing has been opened long enough. THE RESULTS, IF YOU PLEASE:
EDITED 6/1 WITH FINAL DETAILS
IF YOU HAVE JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WEE LITTLE SOIREE INTO THE FANNISH, DON'T PANIC, OF COURSE YOU CAN COME, MORE THE MERRIER, ETC ETC ETC.
BE SURE TO KEEP TABS ON THIS ENTRY, FOR LAST MINUTE UPDATES/ANNOUNCEMENTS/PLAN CHANGES.
OK MY FELLOW BAMFs. It's been a long time coming, but this is it.
THE GQ MOTHERFUCKING NEW YORK MEET UP DETAILS.
This is your captain speaking, and bbs, prepare yourselves for a day of Star Trekkin' debauchery the likes of which the world has never seen.
I've only one question for you: are you ready to boldly go where no man's gone so awesomely before?? WELL???? ARE YOU?????
First off: if you need my cell phone number, drop me a comment/pm asking for it. If you run into any problems, get lost, have questions, need traveling advice etc, etc, etc, you can bet your ass you can give me a call.
And now: our mission perimeters:
1) PRE MOVIE FOOD AND DRINK:
We'll meet up at The Irish Rogue (356 W 44th St, Btwn 8th & 9th Ave) at 3 pm. This is a restaurant/bar, and I have fond memories of it from Browncoats NYC…before they got themselves booted from the place. (…still don't know how THAT happened). I recall the food being good, and the drinks being reasonable. I figure this is a good place for everyone to meet up as there won't be any under-age issues.
Of course, you are under NO OBLIGATION to come and geek out with your fellow fans before the movie, but REALLY—would you deny yourself the joy of basking in the mutual adoration of Trek with like-minded folks? (I personally think there should be dramatic readings of the ST GQMF macros, but that's just me)
2)SRS BIZNESS AKA THE MOVIE
We will migrate from the Irish Rogue to the theater at approximately 5:45pm.
The theater is AMC EMPIRE 42 on 42nd street btw 7th and 8th ave.
The movie time is 6:30 pm.
I figure that gives us plenty to time to get in, get settled, and get good seats/be generally obnoxiously geeky in the theater itself. Of course, feel free to purchase your ticket beforehand.
3) THE AFTER GLOW, THE FIGURATIVE CIGERETTE, OR, THE AFTER-MOVIE HANGING OUT
After the movie, you can either feel free to go your separate ways, or continue with the geek-gasm The Dead Poet on 450 Amsterdam Ave, btw 81st and 82nd streets. This would mean taking the 1 subway to the 79th street stop and walking north 2 blocks and east 1 block. Ending...well, whenever really. Maybe if I'm really lucky it'll end when I get into a bar fight and end up getting dared to do better by Captain Pike…
*blink blink*
Well, that's about it. So far it looks like we've got some 23 people coming (which is AMAZING, guys, so YOU'D BETTER SHOW)! So, spread the word! Bring a friend! Bring a camera! (I know I'm bringing mine *evil grin*) Bring a…flask? (…Which I TOTALLY COULD too…hrum…)
Geek Out.
