(and interested-non bloggers)
WHO:
Anyone — bloggers, blog readers, lurkers, etc. — who wants to see Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith on the silver screen.

Star Wars! OMG! Anakin - ! 3viL - ! (I’m buying toy lightsab3rs!!!)
WHERE:
The Senator Theater

WHEN:
Thursday May 19th, 7:30pm showing
(This gives you commuters - even the ones coming from College Park - ample time to arrive on time. Heck, maybe we could all go out for dinner before hand, although I fear drinks will, at the least, result in me running around the block trying to instigate a lightsaber duel).
Drinks and Dinner, 5:30pm, at Ryan’s Daughter Irish Pub & Restaraunt
(410) 464-1000
600 E Belvedere Ave
Baltimore, MD 21212
WHY:
I’m just not going to answer this, because if you have to ask, you clearly deserve a beating.
Earlier in the week, I blogged about a hot tip Gary gave me: Gary’s dad and uncles were looking to sell the rowhouse their late-father had owned. The rowhouse just happens to be in Remington. Well, Gary gave me directions, and today I finally got down to take a look at it.
No inside tour - gotta get in touch with Merf for that - but the place looks like its in great condition. Anyway, I was very excited, and we’ll see what happens … (I’m getting my hopes up, I don’t have the ability to buy a house now, on the other hand, no one said the house is going to be on the market for awhile, so, who knows?)
… and if you’re from the future, you’re invited!
There’s no dress code. No need to R.S.V.P. Refreshments (chips and dip) will be provided.
Dorai only asks his guests to show proof they come from the future: Bringing the cure for cancer, a solution for global poverty or a cold fusion reactor would suffice.
In case MIT is long gone by the time a time machine is invented, Dorai’s invitation includes geographic coordinates for the East Campus Courtyard (42:21:36.025 degrees north, 71:05:16.332 degrees west).
To spread the word, Dorai asked friends to scribble invitations on pieces of acid-free paper and slip them into obscure library books. He is also giving media interviews and posting his thoughts on a Web site.
“The World Wide Web is unlikely to remain in its present form permanently,” he wrote. “We need volunteers to publish the details of the convention in enduring forms, so that the time travelers of future millennia will be aware of the convention.”
The convention starts at 8 p.m. For dramatic effect, time travelers are encouraged to show up at 10 p.m. sharp. In between, revelers will take in a lecture on time travel by an MIT physics professor and listen to student bands belting out time-themed songs.
Excellent! Well, maybe not the student bands bit …
