M+M: RANGO (Free Screening!) + Lunch

[NYChar]

Friends,

 

We're going to try to make this into a Meal+Movie adventure tomorrow, depending on if we can wake up early enough!

 

RANGO, starring Johnny Depp, is in theaters on Mar 4th, but TheCinemaSource.com is offering a free advanced screening tomorrow 2/26 @ 10am, 42nd St Regal Cinemas!

• The easy part - Get your tix HERE.
• The hard part - Wake up early on a Sat morning to wait in line!  We plan to get there by 845/9am.
• We did this for Gnomeo and Juliet with much success, but I think this one might be more popular.

Afterwards, we're planning to grab lunch at COCOTERO, a Venezeulan restaurant in Chelsea that has special sandwiches made of plantain slices instead of bread (called "patacones", featured on the show Food(ography)).  Let me know if you want to join! 

 

Also - Congrats to Christine H. for her quick and correct response to the giveaway Q yesterday!  The answer is: a GIRAFFE (surprisingly) has the same # of neckbones as a human, which is 7! 

 

Have a good weekend - NYChar

 

ABOUT:

A chameleon that aspires to be a swashbuckling hero finds himself in a Western town plagued by bandits and is forced to literally play the role in order to protect it.
