January 29: You become a movie star!

The Big Quiz Thing has long been your way to simulate the experience of being a real live game-show contestant, so now it's time to take the next step: to simulate the experience of being a real live movie star. (Emphasis on simulate, but still.)

Saturday night, January 29, I'm going to be back at 92YTribeca (site of our Summer Fun Spectacular), hosting the lovely venue's very first edition of Movieoke. Perhaps you've partaken in the past (it used to be a regular curiosity in NYC, but I haven't seen it in a while): You bring a DVD, pick a scene, we'll slap on the subtitles, turn off the sound, and let you act out the scene in your own special way. Just like karaoke, no real talent is required, though enthusiasm is much, much appreciated.

We'll have prizes, some trivia (naturally), and perhaps semi-celebrity guests as well. The first edition will definitely be an experiment, but if this really cooks, it's got a good chance of being a monthly gig for yours truly. Saturday night, January 29, sign-up begins at 10:15, more details here.

And in case you're curious, I think I myself will tackle this…
