I'll keep an eye out, because I have at least three friends who still haven't been able to see it. So I'd be donating the tickets to them.
Man, just ascend already.

move out and draw fire
There was a screening in DC. And I was in Athens for it. (weeps quietly).

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
One of the ways I could always tell if a person was from someplace other than the northeast is if they referred to New York as "New York City." I think the only people in the northeast who say the whole phrase is people from upstate with axes to grind. When I am "going to New York," I am not going to Syracuse.
(I have had the opposite argument, with people who refuse to admit that Queens is part of New York [the city], but I have only had that argument with the sort of people who would not be caught dead in Queens, and fans of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.)
Los Angeles is 30 neighborhoods in search of a city, and I wish I could have coined that phrase myself, but I think it was someone professionally witty.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Queens is upstate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey!
Although, I do say I'm going "to the City," when I head into Manhattan.

Like the people who live on the Upper East Side and always put that "no BBQ" in their real estate listings.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Born and raised in Kansas City, that's what I call a dealbreaker.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
in Rochester NY, people from the surrounding areas call Rochester "The City". There is little in the city except bars, everything is in the suburbs.
I go shopping a lot in Rochester with costume designers from NYC.
This tends to confuse the clerks as the designers, when making conversation are saying things like" I just came from the city to do this design."

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
I'm from "the island." North and south reference points are the north and south shore. Hawaii? Nope, Long Island. East and West reference points are The City and Montauk. You can be in Queens but if your heading anywhere east, even though it's like over 2 hours from there, you're heading toward Montauk. Same applies north of The City. Anything north is just upstate. Of course in The City you have uptown, downtown, east side, west side, SoHo, The Village, Wall Street, Chinatown, Little Italy, Alphabet City, I'm sure there are others. Oh, then there are districts like the jewelry district or the garden district.

I live in LA now. I think actually LA is both a county and a city technically which is just poor planning. I do love how they call it The Southland though. The mountain, the hills, the valley, the basin, I can't wrap my head around all of it yet. I'm a block or two away from Los Feliz, ThaiTown and Little Armenia. I'm still not quite sure where I am. I just say I'm from LA.
