Mets @ the Movies: Two Thumbs Up

So the Mets are in Cin-City and Shea is closed ... what's a boy to do? Head to the movies, thats what! I stumbled over to Clearview Cinema's Chelsea location on 23rd and 8th, after some hearty wings-and-beer pre-gaming at Dallas BBQ, and joined Mr. Met and friends for "Mets at the Movies." Amazin! Best time I've had at a game this year and I wasn't even in a baseball stadium.

The powers that be recreated Shea's cheap seats in a 250-person capacity movie theater complete with hot dog vendors, beer guys, live trivia ... heck even the Pepsi Party Patrol was there. Giveaways, sing-a-longs and an authentic seventh-inning stretch made me feel back home in Section 38.  Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure ... and by the way the next "Mets at the Movies" is Aug.27 vs the Phuckers.

Chelsea 23rd st. b/w 7th and 8th.

Your movie has come.

Packed house full of orange and blue. God Bless America.

If they only had these comfy seats at Shea.

The Guest of Honor.

I told you they recreated the cheap seats at Shea.

Oh come on, not even Aramark asks $5 for a water! But you save a bundle on CrackerJacks, which came in a "bag" the size of old-school airline peanuts.

I don't know if you can make it out in this pic, but this ticket stub, to an event at a MOVIE THEATER I remind all, reads "Rain or Shine." Right.
