June 3rd - Cary, NC - Sherlock Holmes - An Evening Steampunk Picnic
[UPDATED 06/03/2010 14:45] On Thursday, June 3rd 7-10 PM, Koka Booth Amphitheatre is kicking off the 2010 season of its Thursday Movies By Moonlight series with a showing of Sherlock Holmes (2009). A fairly sizeable group of Triangle area steampunks will be attending the event in full regalia. What's not to love? A chance to sport your full kit in reasonably cool weather, enjoying the company of fellow steampunks and confused looks from the General Public. As the website says, "For only $3 for adults and picnic baskets and alcohol allowed, it is hard to find a cheaper night out on the town." Gates open at 7, movie starts at dusk (about 8:30). The game's afoot!
Schedule:
7:00 PM Gates Upen
7:30 PM Scavenger Hunt / Pre-Movie Entertainment (details below)
8:30 PM Movie Begins
Gathering / Seating: A bunch of us will be gathering on the right front of the lawn (facing the stage) at the edge of the stone steps. Bring a blanket or a chair and spread out so there is room for more people to join us.
Food Suggestion: Picnic baskets & alcohol allowed. No reason to bring a whole meal - just bring what you want to drink and one thing to share, and we'll end up with more than enough food.
