Star Trek Update
Category: outings

Thanks to everyone who signed up, I just purchased 8 tickets.

If you are listed below, and something happens to keep you from coming, please let me know as soon as possible so that I can arrange someone else to fill the spot.

- Mr. Mike +1

- Heidi

- Carolinian +1

- James & Jim

Cost is $14/per ticket, payable to me in cash at the theater ;)

If you'd still like to come with us, tickets are still available - buy for the 4:35PM Saturday 5/9 Showtime at the IMAX Regal Theater in Amherst. I don't know when they will sell out, but they will sell out at some point in the next week.

I plan on getting to the theater early-ish to try to reserve a row of seats together, so we don't get stuck waaaay upfront.

Thanks! Really looking forward to this!

PS: I'd like to go for dinner after the show is over, so if you'd like to buy me and James dinner in exchange for the tickets we can work something out :)

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.

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

jim - 05/01/09 10:17
Last call!

jim - 04/30/09 19:22
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
Number one son and I are in

carolinian - 04/30/09 14:17
My and the (e:inscrutable) are in. Chalk up another 2.

jim - 04/30/09 12:51
James and I are in, so we're up to 3 :)

heidi - 04/30/09 12:45

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.

Go Katie Couric!

And Winston Churchill Singing from the future!

enknot - 04/24/09 22:34
that was amazing.... amazing. i'ma watch it again.

tinypliny - 04/23/09 18:01
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!

UPDATE

See this post to sign up:

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

joshua - 04/21/09 14:51
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.
