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.

Well, exact times to that theater (hell, to ALL the theaters I checked!) are only available to like, June 6th, so you can't actually order them for June 6th yet. The minute the times are available, I'll message you all/edit this post with the info. I'm shooting for as close to 6/6.30 as I can, I figure that gives everyone enough time to get into the city from where ever they may be coming from, gives us lushes enough time for a convivial and medicinal raising of a glass together before hand (and hell, for general hanging out before hand) AND it gives everyone enough time to get back home right after the movie if they want to call it a night.
...ALSO I don't remember if you even CAN order tiks beforehand at this theater, but this used to be my go to place for geekery, and if we get there 30 min beforehand there shouldn't be a ticket issue...and even if there is, I WILL MOVE HEAVEN AND EARTH TO GET PEOPLE IN. I'VE DONE IT BEFORE AND AT OPENING NIGHT SHOWINGS, I CAN DO IT AGAIN.
AFFIRMATIVE about the somewhere cheap. I'm asking everyone I know what they know of the area, I know a shit ton of my theater friends have their favorite watering holes around 9th, and as they are as poor as me, it should be reasonable. BUT TOTALLY KEEP YOUR EARS PEELED. HIT ME WITH SUGGESTIONS. THE NEEDS OF THE MANY ARE HINGING ON THIS.

I WILL TRUST YOU ON THE TICKETS THING. Really, I only got concerned cause I've encountered the not-enough-tickets thing a couple of times and it was mad irritating. There probably won't be any problem.
