Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the movie) happens TONIGHT at Central Market and we're riding bikes there!

Geek queen, uber-anti-death penalty advocate and all around badass Laura Brady is setting this one up, and if you're 1/3 the geek I am you'll DEFINITELY want to know about it:

This Wednesday Central Market North is showing the original 1990 TMNT as part of the 101X Summer Movie Series on a giant inflatable movie screen.

Holy shit.

I propose that we meet up at 7PM at Thunderbird on Manor and ride our bikes there. Movie starts at 8ish.

Who's coming with me?

IMDB gives this live-action film 6.3 out of 10 stars, and describes the storyline as follows: "Through contact with a mysterious substance, called Ooze, 4 little turtles in the canalization of New York mutate to giant turtles. They can speak, walk upright and love pizza. The wise rat Splinter becomes their mentor and educates them to Ninja fighters. Their arch-enemy is the bad, bad guy Shredder, who struggles to gain power over the world. Of course the ninja turtles will do everything to stop him."

What it fails to mention is that this is the first movie I went to without adult supervision. Raphael says "damn" twice. Danny wears the same Sid Vicious t-shirts I had in middle school. I was in love with Casey Jones. I'm totally sporting my Ninja Turtle backpack on this ride and mumbling the complete dialogue under my breath. Seriously, IMDB...say what matters.

We were awesome!
Bodacious!
Bitchin'!
Uh...
Gnarly!
Radical!
Totally tubular, dude!
Wicked!
Hellacious!
Uh, mega...
I have always liked... Cowabunga.

Don't have a bike? Meet us at Central Market North before 8pm. This event is free!

A message from Central Market: "Bring your blanket or lawn chairs and enjoy $2.50 draught beers and lots of fun meal deals. No outside food or drinks will be allowed in our park area."

Be at Thunderbird and wear your shell, shredding claws, rat tail, or just that scummy hair metal shirt you ripped the sleeves off of back in the early 90s and BIKE TO THE MOVIE! It will most certainly be a wicked time.

P.S. sneaking food and shit in to these things isn't even an issue, really. So bring snacks.
