MOMA NYC
PREMIERE / FULLY AWAKE: BLACK MOUNTAIN COLLEGE
We hope you can join us for a FULLY AWAKE screening in New York either Friday night or Saturday afternoon, though the ticketing at the Museum of Modern Art is a bit challenging, so below please find ALL the details for attending! WHEN Friday, October 3rd 2008 6:30pm (try to arrive around 6pm if possible) / Fully Awake Screening 8:00pm / Afterparty at Fontana's Bar (details below)
Saturday, October 4th 2008 2:00pm / Fully Awake Screening WHERE Screenings: The Museum of Modern Art (SPECIAL ENTRANCE FOR THEATERS!) 11 West 53rd Street (between 5th / 6th Avenues, but the theater entrance for MoMA is closer to 5th Avenue, directly behind St. Thomas Episcopal Church). The train that drops you off right in front of the entrance is the E/V train to 51st Street.
Friday Night Afterparty: Fontana's Bar (105 Eldridge St between Broome & Grand)
in the Lower East Side is a quick subway ride on the B/D train).
Get ready for $2 vodka cocktails courtesy of Sobieski Vodka, and $3
beer specials courtesy of Fontana's ‚ code word for the drinks special
is FULLY AWAKE ;) HOW TO GET TICKETS Advance tickets are VERY important and they cost $10 each. I have been informed they expect FULLY AWAKE to sell out before Friday, so you will probably not be able to get tickets at the door if you arrive at 6pm. Saturday's screening is also expected to sell out, but our understanding is that you will still be able to get tickets the day of the screening probably (they are $10), and we also have some room on our guest list for Saturday afternoon if you email me directly. For tickets (mainly for Friday), you have two choices: 1)
Go to MoMA's main entrance to their INFORMATION desk between now and
Thursday, Oct 2nd to purchase your tickets in advance. Members of
MoMA can pick up their free film tickets in advance as well.
Unfortunately, there are no tickets to be reserved by phone - they must
be picked up in person. 2) We have purchased a block of tickets in advance for $10 each for the Friday night screening only. If you cannot get to MoMA tobuy your tickets in advance, please email me your name and how many tickets you would like (unfortunately, I have to put a 2 ticket limit per person as I only have 50 tickets
total to offer). Dena & Tito will have all the reserved tickets
outside the MoMA film entrance starting at 6pm on Friday for pick-up.
Please bring exact cash if possible. If you are not there by
6:25pm to pick up your tickets, we will sell them to folks waiting to
get in. We
know there are lots of details, thanks so much for your interest in
FULLY AWAKE, and we hope to see you this weekend and raise a glass to
the awesome community effort that made this documentary a reality!
