Tour de Pharmacy viewing party?

[SarahBee]

HBO is putting out a cycling mockumentary starring Andy Samberg, Will Forte, and other lots of funny people on July 8 at 10pm. I was wondering if anyone was interested in co-hosting a viewing party. I don’t have a TV, but if you provide the venue & HBO, I could provide the snacks & beverages. Anyone want to partner up?

Thanks,

Sarah Bee

I’ll be happy if it’s roughly as good as 7 Days in Hell (Samberg’s tennis mockumentary). It wasn’t mind-alteringly funny, but was overall pretty hilarious.

To the point of the thread, I will be passed out from exhaustion on the top of a mountain in WV on the evening of July 8, so I cannot help with this particular event…

Road Bike Review has a little snippet about it, along with a promo video that contains promising humor levels.

Interesting to see if Lance is really in it, or was just part of the promo.

If people are willing to come out to S. Alexandria I am happy to host. I’m not far from the MVT using the Tulane crossing. I have a giant (60 inch or bigger–it’s huge) tv, plenty of space, and an existing HBO subscription. BUT we’d have to pick a different day since I’m gone July 8. Maybe a weekend or two after (July 15th or something). I can DVR it or use HBO go I’m sure.

If someone has an easier location for people to meet, I have no problem going elsewhere though

I’m keen on Emm’s giant TV, but I also like the idea of seeing it at the actual release time. Either way, count me in. I’ll bring food and/or drink, and I’ll convoy home afterward with anyone going my way.

So… I just realized this is the same day as GRUSK. I might be OK with DVR at a later date.

I’m likely also doing GRUSK, cause apparently my friends are doing it and I’m desperate to fit in.

Is there room for one more bike on your rack? Asking for a friend.

I’ll also be gone July 8 (not for GRUSK, to be clear). But I’d be happy to bring food, drinks, or baked goods of the host’s choice if the viewing party is scheduled for a later weekend.

I would be very interested too…but will be out of town July 8th…I’m in if you choose a later date!

Emm- how generous. If you are able to record from HBO, how about the following Saturday- July 15?

Warmly,

Still unsure of lodging arrangements at the moment, but if I end up camping or in the dorms (more probable than not at this point), I will have two seats and two open racks (assuming you tall people can put your own bikes on the roof) if you are okay with leaving mid-day on Friday and returning on Sunday afternoon-ish. (Marc has first dibs, but I have four racks on my car.)

If someone has a projector, I’d be willing to host a viewing party in my backyard that also has a pool…just not on July 8. The 15th though…ride+pool+show?

[Birru]

I’ve got a 1080p projector hooked up and an old 720p projector in storage. I could grab whichever one still has a bright bulb.
