ONTD_STARTREK MEET UP 2: MARATHON POLL RESULTS AND INFORMATION

Ladies and Gentlemen (…or maybe just ladies, IDK); the poll for the Great
ONTD_ST Meet Up 2:
TOS Marathon
'No School Like Old School'

has been open long enough.

There's a lot of SUPER IMPORTANT MEET UP INFORMATION BELOW THE CUT, so heads up, pay attention, read the fine print, etc etc.

EDIT 7/8: I'VE LISTED THE TEAMS, WHO'S ON WHICH, AND WHO'S OFFERED TO BRING WHAT (AND WHAT STILL NEEDS CLAIMING). GO GO GO!



The TOS Marathon will be SATURDAY, JULY 11 at my apartment in Middle Village, Queens (exact address will come in the PM I will send you once you RSVP in the comments)

It will start at 1 pm, and will end…well, whenever we want, really!


We'll be viewing the Top Ten Episodes you guys voted for in the poll, and in reverse order of demand (that way, those that come late and who likely voted for one of the more popular ones won't miss them! YEA YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN AWE OF MY LOGIC.)

The Viewing Order Will Be As Follows:

10. 2x10 Journey to Babel OR 2x8 I, Mudd: 5 votes each
9. 1x05 The Enemy Within: 7 votes
8. 2x04 Mirror Mirror: 9 votes
7. 2x17 Piece of the Action: 10 votes
6. 1x28 The City on the Edge of Forever: 11 votes
5. 1x24 This Side of Paradise: 11 votes
4. 1x15 Shore Leave: 11 votes
3. 1x04 The Naked Time: 13 votes
2. 2x01 Amok Time: 14 votes
1. 2x15 Trouble With Tribbles: 15 votes



Important RSVP details I need to know!
When you RSVP in the comments below, there are 3 INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT THINGS I NEED YOU TO DO:



1) Take this What Star Trek Personality Are You? Meme – THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES AT THE MEET UP. This test is CRUCIAL for when I split you'se guys into Teams for
A TOS DRINKING GAME!


That's all I'm willing to say lest I spoil my evil WHOLLY LOGICAL plan. But rest assured, IT WILL BE EXCITING. LIKE, THIS SHIP EXCITING. There are APPROPRIATELY DESIGNED NAME BADGES AND EVERYTHING, YOU HAVE NO IDEA.


EDIT 7/8: THE TEAMS ARE AS FOLLOWS!

TEAM RED SHIRT
Arxev (virgin punch; fruit loops treats; hummus)
Grey_bard (veggies for a veggie platter; marshmallows)
Pirate_smiles (chips)
Wheres_walnut (sprite, Tabasco, lemon juice for Romulan Ale; chips)
Liasbuttissexy (whisky)
If_onlyou_knew (snacks)

TEAM BLUE SHIRT
Liu_xing (gin)
Iheartweasleys (2) (cupcakes)
Ink_n_imp (24 pack beer {Coronas sound good? They are my go-to summer beer}, limes, apples, ICE, rice krispies)
Sparkly_stuff
Ihateclooney (tonic, peach liqueur)
Sarahsez00 (Spinach dip, chips, something vegan?)
Echoinautumn

TEAM YELLOW SHIRT
Hjalmartazar (soda, baked goods)
Stepliana (whisky, vodka, mixers [cranapple, orange, though may buy it here, if anyone wants to throw in as well])
wndpbrd
euphorazine
pippie_poppins (themed cake)
jazzonia (some sort of dessert)
buhhhfaluffalo
aikei_chan (snacks; cups; juice)

22 people so far, you guys. AND TWO OF THEM ARE COMING FROM OUT OF STATE. ARE WE REALLY JUST THAT GQ THAT PEOPLE COME FROM OUT OF STATE TO PARTY HARD WITH US???

YES. YES WE ARE.

Now, if any of you wanted to be, I donno, uber-dorky and wear something color appropriate for your team, well, don't let ME stop you. ;)


FOOD/DRINK THAT NEEDS CLAIMING/COULD BE BROUGHT:
-Blue curacao (can't make Romulan ale without it! NEED THIS DESPERATELY!))
-Something besides whisky (good lord, people, it's like, the one alcohol I generally don't like)
-Mixers (aka orange juice, fruit juices, seltzer, etc)
-Plastic cups/plates/napkins (I have some cups and napkins, but I don't think enough)
-marshmallows/rice krispies (the ones with the badge inside!) for in-meet up treat making?
-Salsa
-Dip-like things for veggies? Hummus anyone?
-any other suggestions?



2) For Aforementioned TOS Drinking Game:
I've a growing list of things to drink to, but if there is anything that you feel must ABSOLUTELY BE INCLUDED, make mention of it in the RSVP (i.e., Spock says "Fascinating", Kirk swaggers while standing still, McCoy hyposprays, Uhura is fierce, etc etc)


3)Mention if you will be able to bring alcohol/mixers, and what you can bring:
There are two Star Trek mixed drinks I think we should try to make: Romulan Ale, and Phasers-to-Stun Punch. These are going to require the following--

Romulan Ale: white rum, Blue Curacao, Sprite (or 7-Up), tabasco sauce (though I've seen with lemon juice instead)
Phasers on Stun Punch: whisky, grapefruit juice, blue curacao, peach liqueur, lemon juice

If you are able to bring ANY of the above ingredients, DO CLAIM THEM IN YOUR RSVP. Of course, if you'd care to bring ANY other wine/liquor/beer, PLZ, DON'T LET ME STOP YOU XD. I myself am thinking of picking up a 24 pack of something, cause there's NOT WAY IN HELL I'm playing a drinking game on liquor. NO WAY.

Also, I'll have a tub filled with ice, so anything what needs chilling can go right in it.


4) List if you will be able to bring snacks/soda/mixers:
Cause GQMFers cannot live on drink alone, much though we try. Oh, do we try. If there is anything you can bring, please do! Sodas, sweet snacks, salty snacks, dips, carrots/celery for all I care! I myself will be making my world famous veggie baked beans/cream cheese/cheddar dip of AMAZING. Just give me a heads up in your RSVP about what you think you can bring.

ALSO, there is a grocery store right around the corner, not totally unreasonable in pricing, so if you'd rather not lug stuff, we could have a grocer run.

If you can't do numbers 3 or 4, would you be willing to donate some money at the door to cover some of the food/drink costs? Alcohol/food is expensive, yo, help a poor fangirl out!

ALSO, I was thinking that around 6-7 pm, we could order pizza (or something equally simple and easy to share) for dinner. Y/N??



AND THAT'S IT. SERIOUSLY. THE BALL IS NOW IN YOUR COURT.


SOOOOOOOOOOOO…KIRK NEEDS YOU!


TO DO YOUR PART!


AND SPREAD THE WORD TO YOUR MOTHAS EQUALLY GEEKTASTIC F-LISTS, THE MORE THE MERRIER.

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.

AND REMEMBER GUYS—THE BOSTON ONTD_ST MEET UP IS THE SAME DAY AS OURS. ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO LET BOSTON OUT GQ US?* OR ARE WE BOLDY GONNA GO THERE SO MUCH HARDER, FASTER, STRONGER THAT WARP ELEVEN WILL CRY IN SHAME??

MAKE. IT. SO.


*BUT SERIOUSLY, I LUV YOU, BOSTON. YOU AND THE PHALLIC TOMBSTONE** YOU GAVE JOHN HANCOCK.

**NO, REALLY.

1) I got 82% Spock and 75% Uhura. Does this mean I get to make out with myself? Awesome.
2) Mentioned a couple in the previous post, but I don't think I've though of anymore since then. What have I been doing with my life?? I don't even know.
3) I saw someone else is bringing gin, so I'll fo' sho' bring some tonic, and I'll be happy. I can add on some of the mixers needed for the ale/punch--maybe peach liqueur? No clue where to buy it, though! Is there someplace nearby that would sell such a thing?

Oh, and is the brunch still happening? I forget what happened with that! Anywho, I'm excited--the wireless in my apt has been broken for the past couple days, so I haven't been able to watch any TOS and I'm jonesing. Whee!

[identity profile] ink-n-imp.livejournal.com 2009-07-07 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
1) If you do, can I take video and include it in the recap? O:)

2) OH GOD THE LIST IS SO LOOOOOOOOOONG. TWO FULL PAGES.

3) Tonic FTW! And so far no one else has asked about bringing the peach liqueur, which could probably be picked up from any liquor store, and s peach schnapps would probably work. If you could claim this one, it would be one last thing I'd have to worry about, which would be great! If you have any trouble finding it though, just give me a heads up before Friday, and I'll see what I can do. I think we've got the rest of the mixers set though; though, not like it won't be easy to make a quick run around the block for them if need be.

The brunch is off for Sat though; I think something came up for the brunch planner, so it's getting pushed back.

WHEE, I CAN'T WAIT!!!

[identity profile] ihateclooney.livejournal.com 2009-07-07 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
1) Haha, maybe, though it WOULD be easier to convey the concept if I had Zach/Zoe/Leonard/Nichelle to help out. I will try to get on that. And I would get on all of that, so...

2) OMG WE'RE GONNA GET SO CRUNK. I'M EXCITED.

3) Awesome, I'll bring some peach-y booze and I'm sure it will all be cool. And since the brunch isn't happening, I can load up more easily without worrying about bringing massive quantities of alcohol to a family-friendly establishment. It also might mean I can bring some foodstuffs but we'll see how it goes--it looks like we have a fair amount of snackies going already, but I don't think there can ever be too much.

Ok, now I'm commenting on the recent edits:

WHOO BLUE SHIRTS. Wait, was that all I was going to say? Oh! Just so you know I DID secure some peach liqueur, so not only are we set for phaser stunning punch, but my wine and liquor guy now thinks I am super classy. Sucker!!! Oh, and is there like a cheap-o grocery store somewhere close to get the tonic, or should I get it before I start my journey? Whoo.

[identity profile] ink-n-imp.livejournal.com 2009-07-09 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm starting to get the feeling that between me and you, Team Blue Shirt is going to be the booziest. AS IT SHOULD BE. REGARDLESS OF THE FACT SCOTTY'S ON RED. I THROW DOWN THAT MCCOY CAN GIVE SCOTTY A RUN FOR HIS MONEY PUSH COME TO DRINK.

AND HELLS YEA, PEACH LIQUEUR. If only your wine/liquor guy had ANY IDEA what it was being used for. IF ONLY.

I haven't done a price check for tonic at my grocery, but I think the seltzer goes for 2 1-litres for 1.49, so tonic is probably the same? I could always run over there tonight and double check, but how's that price wise?

[identity profile] ihateclooney.livejournal.com 2009-07-09 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh man, you know it. If there is a prize for booziest, I will boldly steer our team towards victory.

And $1.49 is excellent! My nearby place is $1.59, but mostly I just didn't want to have to lug them on all my transports.

Whoo!

[identity profile] sarahsez00.livejournal.com 2009-07-07 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
This sounds awesome! I've never seen any of TOS, it'll be so fun to watch with a group like this.
1. Spock - what up!
2. don't know
3/4. Happy to bring some nosh. Maybe spinach artichoke dip and chips. I can also do vegan friendly stuff if anybody has dietary restrictions.

[identity profile] ink-n-imp.livejournal.com 2009-07-07 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE LULZ, BB. AND TO FALL IN LOVE WITH SOME ORIGINAL GQMFs.

1) THANK GOODNESS! The teams are finally evening out. It was all yellow/red there for a bit, I was worried we wouldn't have any more blues.

2) No worries, at this point the list is FAR longer than it should be *dies!*

3) Someone's bringing carrots/celery/veggies, but could you bring a hummus or hummus like dip for them for vegan needs? Not like anyone's asked for began options, but healthy things never hurt anyone!

[identity profile] uma.livejournal.com 2009-07-07 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't go, but I'm 100% red shirt and I'm 55% Geordi LaForge which means I get to wear sweet ass visors.


This sucks since I already had plans. FML :(

[identity profile] ink-n-imp.livejournal.com 2009-07-08 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
There's always next time, bb.

If I host another, I'll be sure to drop you a line.

[identity profile] mirroriste.livejournal.com 2009-07-08 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Lol so remember how I said I couldn't come? That is now a 50/50 thing. Will get back to you soon.

[identity profile] ink-n-imp.livejournal.com 2009-07-08 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'LL BE HANGING OFF THE EDGE OF MY SEAT SO HARD YOU CAN CALL ME CAPTAIN KIRK.

[identity profile] mirroriste.livejournal.com 2009-07-08 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
THE CHANCE HAS JUST GONE UP TO 70%, CAPTAIN.

Here I am, replying again 8D I am coming!

FOR THE QUIZ...I got Picard. The first TOS person to show up on the list was Chekov, who was the third most likely. 8D Second was unimportant.

Can't bring alcohol, I'm 18. *misses France*

Tell me what snacks to bring and I will do so 8D

and I am so glad the first 4 episodes are the ones that they are 8D

PS) Could you PM your specific address? :3

[identity profile] ink-n-imp.livejournal.com 2009-07-08 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Command Yellow it is then! HUZZAH YOU CAN COME!!

I'm going to be posting a food/drink run down of what people say they can bring, to try to coordinate it better; once I do that, we can see about what you might bring ^_^

And I'll get right on that PM!

[identity profile] mirroriste.livejournal.com 2009-07-09 12:07 am (UTC)(link)

Quiz! Uh. I scored Beverly Crusher. So I guess that makes me a blue shirt? I think?

Also! I am twenty-one and more than glad to purchase alcohol for the drinks. Just tell me what you all need (what hasn't been claimed and will be desperately necessary) and I'll set off to find it.

[identity profile] echoinautumn.livejournal.com 2009-07-09 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
AND BECAUSE I FAIL. Apparently it was supposed to be first TOS person? .........Okay, well. That was Chekov. JUST HAVE MY RESULTS, OKAY?

Chekov 60%
Jean-Luc Picard 60%
Will Riker 50%
Mr. Scott 45%

Worf 10%

[identity profile] ink-n-imp.livejournal.com 2009-07-09 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
I've been trying to go by the first TOS character, but I'm putting you in blue to even the teams out (THERE'S TOO MANY YELLOWS, AND THAT'S EVEN AFTER I CHANGED COLORS.)

Also, I'm just about to add what people said they could bring/what we might still need, so keep posted!

[identity profile] yourlivewire.livejournal.com 2009-07-09 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
SOB, I DIDN'T GET THE NOTIF FOR THIS COMMENT TIL IT WAS TOO LATE, I'M ALREADY SCHEDULED TO WORK THAT NIGHT.

hopefully i can go to the third meet-up, if there is one. D:

[identity profile] dispergo.livejournal.com 2009-07-11 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
I am completely and utterly late to the party, but if you'll take a lurker with ample quantities of tortilla chips and salsa at her disposal and an apparent case of split personality disorder (equal percentages McCoy and Spock on the Personality Test, wut), I'd love to be a part of this!

[identity profile] ink-n-imp.livejournal.com 2009-07-11 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, wow, this is so last minute, well done, BB, well done.

I'll send the PM right away with my address and cell number. And equal parts Spock and McCoy? Is that even POSSIBLE? Whatever, that's still AWESOME.

Bring the chips and the salsa and your own GQ self and get ready to PARTY HARD!

[identity profile] ink-n-imp.livejournal.com 2009-07-11 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
ACK! I CAN'T PM YOU WITH THE MEETUP DETAILS, LJ SAYS YOU THE PRIVACY OPTION ON YOUR MESSAGES!

I'm going to email them to the email you list in your lj user profile...I hope that's ok.

[identity profile] dispergo.livejournal.com 2009-07-11 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
My LJ skills are absolutely pitiful, but I got your email, so yay! :D Thanks so much! See you there/then!
