We’ve got a few more tickets to the Star Trek screening tomorrow night at 7 p.m. in Redwood City (see here and here for more details). We are letting people in at 6 p.m., so get there early. We’re paying for the price of the ticket, and charging a $2 fee to minimize no shows. After the show we’ll meet at the nearby Red Lantern for a drink or three.
Get your tickets here. And we now have three sponsors for the event. Microsoft Live Search, which helps more than 200 million people a month find stuff on the web, is buying everyone a soft drink at the movie theater (remind me to disclose this when we write about the new search launch). Trapster, a location based mobile application that alerts users in real time when they approach speed traps (iphone app here), is buying everyone popcorn (woohoo). And Eventbrite is helping with the cost of the tickets. Thanks very much, Star Trek sponsors.
I would LOVE to come down but this time I have to pass on the time it takes to fly down and back. To much work to do to get our next major update out the door
next time.
by the way, are you launching something?
Well what are your connections for the LONDON premier of this film, and more importantly can you get me tickets for it? (please and pretty please)

yes, tried to connect via twitter and E-mail but failed. Guess I am not on the vip list
. Can’t talk about it in public.
*yawn*
Star Trek is boring…
Wake me up when Microsoft starts sponsoring trips to the local tittie bars.
go and watch some titties then. leave the seats in the auditoriums free for the real fans.
Star Trek = Awesome. I wish I lived in the Bay Area still, so I could come!
“me to disclose this when we RIGHT about the new search launch”
FYI…
did i? no. please.
what a cool event. Thanks TechCrunch Mike and team.
How about one in SoCal?
Mike I think you mean write vs right in the sentence “..when we right about…”
Can’t make it but we have some great new Coveroos with artwork from the movie we would be happy to donate. Let me know.

I would LOVE to go! I’m right here in the bay area & work in Palo Alto!! =)
Okay, it’s still me who responded above, but the “grouptivity” email I posted is down. I’m reachable at the kanya.jade@gmail.com address. I look forward to hearing back.
Trapster is awesome – congrats to those guys for getting on the front page, I’ve been using their app for months!
Thanks Mercy! We’re excited to meet everyone tonight. See you there!

Hey Mike – I was one of the first to respond on FF (http://friendfe...g-day-star-trek), but was tied up all day in meetings till now. I booked a $200 flight from SEA to attend this and I see that the event is already sold out. Any chance you might have a spare ticket? brian @ infinitelymeta dot com Thanks in advance. Or not.
Guess I missed out.
Thanks for opening up more tickets! I can’t wait.
Damn, missed it again.
Hey Mike,
Thanks for doing the 2nd round ticket. But I am getting “no luck”. I was at Googleplex staying later than I should because I was asked to videotape interview that goes into JavaOne Conference program.
I missed out 2nd round. Is there any way that you can get a single ticket from you?
Is it my fate to miss out this biggest Star Trek screening? Is it my fate that I would have to go see it alone?
We saw it last night in Ypsilanti Michigan it was pretty good. Its like falling out of airplane you don’t stop until you get to your goal, whereas the previous star trek was cerebral this one is all action and mostly about the reboot instead of the actual movie. Its kind of like the first episode of a new Star Trek TV series. You feel like the whole thing is about meeting these new characters again and oh something happens. Not complaining, because I came I met and am ready for some new adventures. JJ get to work on the next one.
I’m not so lucky.
Missed. Shi……..
Are Larry and Sergey of Google in the new Star Trek movie? Extras dressed as Klingons?
Its a JJ Abrams movie, everyone except the main characters are a blur. I think JJ was on speed when he made this movie. I bet the reason Shatner couldnt be in the movie was because his….pauses….would…..have……made…JJ…..crazy.
We’re really excited about tonight’s event and stoked that we could be involved. Popcorn’s on us! Bringing the awesome new Nokia N97 (of course running Trapster!) so catch up with us at the Red Lantern and check it out!
Hey Mike,
Someone bail me out. See you tonight! I am destined for Star Trek.
Nowhere am I so desperately needed as among a shipload of illogical humans.
