smegma Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I just wanted to let all the local BwB folks know that HBO and Comcast are hosting another premiere party for the first episode of Game of Thrones season four. I went last year and it was a fun time - food, drinks, mingling, and of course an early viewing of the show! It's going to be held on Tuesday, March 25th here in Chicago, and anyone that is interested in attending can PM me for the evite. Please note that the spaces are filling up quickly and the spots are first-come-first-served, so I will do my best to reply as soon as possible, and you should RSVP immediately. Thanks, and hope to see you all there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q the Cat Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I went to a premiere party in Portland, OR for season 2. It was so much fun! Unfortunately, HBO must not have had as much fun since they haven't returned for premiere parties here for seasons 3 or 4. Sad me. Lucky you - I hope you have a great time! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady narcissa Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm coming as well. I had a good time last year at the party with all the food and beverages and the photo booth. Wonder if people are dressing up again this year? It was kind of fun going around last year with my sword, pretending to slash people's throats.

smegma Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 I was just about to email to make sure you got the invite, Lady N. Good to know you'll be there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady narcissa Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I've been keeping my eye on my inbox wondering if they were having another party this year and if we'd get invited. Glad to see they saved our email addresses. I pounced on my invite right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aturn14 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 My husband is a HUGE game of thrones fan I would love to surprise home with an invite to the watch party. How do I get an invite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smegma Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Sorry guys - the event is full and no longer accepting any reservations. Do keep this in mind and check next time though, as it is highly possible that HBO hosts another event for season five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady narcissa Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 smegma, Is anyone else from the board coming? Or just you and I? I'm bringing my cousin who is a big fan of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smegma Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 I believe Trebla is coming, and possibly Jaxom. One of the BwB'ers that came to the Chicago party in '12 is going (not sure of his username - Paul is his real name). I have a few friends that are not board members but big fans that are going, one of which was with us at last year's premiere. I'm bring Scott (my bf, whom you've met). So as far as I know, it will be a mix of BwB, people you know, and some new faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebla Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Yep, I will be there! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alguien Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I didn't know you moved, where did you move to? Hey LadyN, I moved to Seattle last September to be closer to my girlfriend. So far, it's been pretty nice out here. I work for a great publisher, becker&mayer, and I luckily avoided this past winter in Chicago. But I still miss the Windy City and the BWB folks there! Hope you had a good time at the premiere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablonohablo Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I had trouble logging into the site, so I'm just posting this now. It was a blast to see BwB folks at the premiere last week. And, of course, I'm still geeking over what was there in Episode 1 of the season. Good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you had a good time at the premiere!Sorry to hear you have left Chicago but glad things are going so well for you out in Seattle. Seattle is a city I'd really like to visit someday. The HBO party was really good this year. They made us custom House Real Last Name t-shirts which was some pretty sweet swag! I'm planning on wearing it to a family reunion this summer. Plus it was fun to see the episode. And of course awesome to catch up with smegma and Trebla and their friends. pablonohablo, it was nice to see you again! Btw for those of you in the Chicagoland area, next month Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo is having some GOT guests and at least a panel. I plan on attending. http://www.c2e2.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smegma Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yes it was a lot of fun to see you guys again - and the free booze, food, and shirts - oh, and the premiere episode itself - was pretty darn nifty! I raised a glass of wine in your honor, alguien! :) Lady N - my daughter already has her passes for that convention, maybe I'll go with her. What days will you be there?

What days will you be there?I am thinking I'll go over after work on Friday for the GOT panel. I might go over at other times on Saturday and or Sunday but its flexible as to when I go. So if you find yourself with some time to attend, just let me know when you will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starartist Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hello everyone! I am new to the board. I was poking around to see who was from the Chicagoland area like me :-) I am also going to C2E2 all three days to go to the GOT pannels and meet the three cast members. I also managed to sew a costume to wear! I will be dressing up as Daenerys from the Qarth garden party. I hope you all have a good time!
