Star Trek
Category: outings
Who would like to go see Star Trek, at the IMAX theater in Amherst, at 4:35pm on Saturday May 9th?

I will be pre-ordering tickets tonight, so let me know if you're coming. You'll owe my $14 if you come, I'll front the money to make sure we get a block of tickets.

4:35PM is going to be the time, since no one has objected.
jim - 05/01/09 10:17
Last call!

I plan on buying tickets now to make sure I don't leave it too late, it will be sold out sometime before May 9th, I'm pretty sure.
janelle - 04/30/09 15:14
Do you think it's going to be sold out? I'm on the fence about going.
mrmike - 04/30/09 14:27

Yuck.
My ADD medication has mostly stopped working, after 4 months of awesomeness it's started to slowly ramp down. Tolerance, I think? Also it gives me really bad headaches lately.

So the doctor today switched me from Strattera to Adderall, which is an amphetamine and so a different chemical family. We'll see. Hopefully I don't feel cracked out when I'm on it.

I miss being consistent.

Hope it works out.

That is completely insane.

And THAT's how the R&B actually sounds nowadays (Cher as well)! If they are using this software, I have to wonder whether they can really sing or not. That's scary.

Star Trek
Category: outings
Does anyone want to go see Star Trek at the Imax on May 8th (Fri) or May 9th (Sat)? Friday showtime would be around 7pm, Saturday in the early afternoon or evening.

If you're up for it, let me know. If there's interest and we can agree on when, I'll buy a block of tickets when they're available and you can pay me back at the theater. IMAX tickets are $14 for adults. If no one wants to see it at that price I guess I'd be up for seeing it non-IMAX, which would cost $10/each.

Really looking forward to this!

Ohhhh, mannn, I know!! There are some serious geek movies this spring, Star Trek, Terminator Salvation, Wolverine...awesome!!

Daily Mail gave the movie a 5-star review, even being so bold as to suggest that it is "the greatest prequel of all time." :::link:::

The Times, similarly glowing - :::link:::

mrmike - 04/21/09 14:48
I'm enough of a dork that I'm up for it.

So, Blagojevich gets a reality TV show? *head asplodes*

"He's making more money than he did as Gov."

Just wait until the trial is over and we will found out exactly how much he made. ^_^
jason - 04/16/09 14:34
I'm speechless. Rod the Fraud gets what, 50k or 60k per episode? He's making more money than he did as Gov.
