Star Trek and mcchris
Jul. 24th, 2012 11:10 amI hit up the local theater with some friends last night for the Star Trek: TNG event. It was set up to promote the release of the first season on Blu Ray.
OMG WANT NOW SO HARD!!!!
Some things I had seen, like the comparison shots between the original and the digital remaster. Other things were new, like screen tests for the actors (lol Worf you so crazy!), behind the scenes shots about how certain effects were done, and tons upon tons more. Completely worth $60, which honestly is fairly cheap considering how much work went into the release. Many of the effects had to be completely redone since they weren't actually on film at any point.
Since I don't have an active collection jar right now I'm going to start one for the set. Collection jar? Morgan, what are you talking about?! See, when I want something that's completely frivolous (like my Batgirl sneakers) I set up a collection jar (it's just a change jar). When I have spare change or small bills I throw them in there. That way I'm not putting it on a credit card or skimping on a bill in order to get what I want. See? I'm an adult!!
Anyway, I really hope they do a release day showing again for each season. Totally wicked. :)
Now we'll hop into the Way-Back machine and go to this past Saturday when I went up to Columbia with Owen to see mcchris. We stayed with my amazing friends Shirley and Sean. Shirley took us around town while Sean did some networking with the local art scene. Around 6 we got dinner then hit the tavern where mcchris was playing. It was hella hot in there but 100% worth the trip. He was in top form and super sweet. Sure there's been some flak about him lately, but I've been a fan for 10 years and I'm not going to turn my back on him because of one incident. Anyway, we all have a fantastic time. I got a sweaty hug from him! Wee!! After that it was Ramen House time (I had gyoza and rice balls), then home for some much needed sleep. All in all a very very good time and I can't wait to do it again.
