Snowpiercer (설국열차) at the Music Box - a last minute MoMu event
posted July 5, 2014 5:38 PM RSS | iCal | +googleCal
Mon July 7 at 7:00 PM, Music Box Theatre
3733 North Southport Avenue, Chicago, IL, USA (Map & Directions)
So nobody in Chicago claimed the 7th yet, and I want to see this and I bet others do too.
In this sci-fi epic, a failed global-warming experiment kills off most life on the planet. The final survivors board the SNOWPIERCER, a train that travels around the globe via a perpetual-motion engine. When cryptic messages incite the passengers to revolt, the train thrusts full-throttle towards disaster.
7:00 pm show, will probably get there a little early for meeting folks outside, will maybe be up for a quick drink after.

I was thinking about pitching this earlier. I think I have a conflict, but until I remember what it is I'm coming.

Does their website ticket purchasing even work? I can't seem to buy tickets. Just an endless wait gif.

Yay eamon! I haven't seen you in a zillion years! Of course, I haven't seen any of you in a zillion years, but I think that I've never met McMike, Going to Maine, or srboisvert EVER.... so I'll be looking for eamon.

tzikeh, yay!
I was able to buy a ticket online earlier, so it does work. Firefox on Windows 7, FYI.

For the record, I've never had an issue with the Music Box being sold out except for very special events, so if you're not able to get a ticket online, you should probably be good at the door.

I think I will be +1- or +2-ing with some folks from my fellowship. I was also thinking about trying Meinl's.

I'm at the Dairy Queen - I have no idea why, but here I am. Heading to the theater around 6:15 to hang out and look for likely MeFites.

DAMMIT EAMON YOU WERE MY ONLY METAFILTER BEACON!
Hey everyone I'm in the lobby of the theater and they're having the Snowpiercer people wait behind the rope on the benches. I'm in a red short-sleeve shirt and black pants.

Aw man. Sorry tzikeh. We were totally looking for red shirts, but got there late like Mike said. The movie was awesome though, so there's that at least?
