I just received word that KBS is planning a screening of Noodle Road in New York and this group has been specifically invited. I don't have a lot of details yet beyond the date and a few of the VIP guests (other than us that is. )

The date is March 12, 2010. Among the guests will be Ms. Choi (CEO) and the producer of Noodle Road.


As soon as I get more details I will let you know. Make sure to hold the date!

 

More details......

Title: ‘Noodle Road’ and Globalization of Korean Food

When: Mar. 12th (Fri.) 7 pm

Where: Korean Cultural Service NY (뉴욕한국문화원, www.koreanculture.org)
460 Park Ave. New York, NY 10022


I am definitely going. I have already requested the time off of work. Who is with me?

 

Hold onto your hats but put me off as a maybe.

What time would you head up?

I will most probably take Amtrak up. I hate traveling when I have no control (i.e. driving) and I refuse to drive to NY, so I take the quickest way possible. There is a train that departs 30th street around 2 pm for $34. I think that is the one I took last time. Or I might have taken the one at 3 pm. I would have to check. If you prefer going via New Jersey Transit, there is usually a group that meets at the Hamilton NJ train station.

 

I'm in

Andrea Sista - You could always park by my house and I can drive us to NJ Transit - Hamilton Station

I have a question....how would we be dressing to go to this event?
Is it fancy?
Or casual?

I would say not formal but not too casual. Perhaps what most of us would wear to work?

 

Although the date is 6 weeks away, I would like to attend, Thankx.
If anyone would like to meet at my house, I could drive up to New York City. I love NY!
pm me asap for planning purposes.

Put me down as a maybe. Still trying to negotiate a new work schedule ... should know for sure in about two weeks.

I am sadly having now my other knee replaced on 2/19/10 so will not be mobile again for another few months - or this would be such a great event to attend!!

I hope you all have fun and give us a great report.....how exciting!! Great job again Queen T!!

BYJ is #1 in my heart & ETW is a close 2nd!!!

OK I am in for the train ride from the Hamilton Station, if no one else is going I can also drive up and can co ordinate , but for me the train is just great and easy!

I'll be there!

I'll be there!!!!

Me too!

Anyone want to meet earlier at the Korea Palace for dinner? They do a nice barbeque and it's just a short walk to the flick from there. Let me know via this board at least a day before and I'll reserve a big table for us. (PS: It's not expensive for midtown, about $12-$18 a pop depending on what you order.)

I guess I should keep a list.

Is that the list of attendees only, mt? If so, please add me. Shall I keep a separate list of anybody who wants to meet for dinner beforehand?

Yes this is attendees. If you are coordinating a dinner before hand you will need to keep a separate list.

FYI - every time I have gone to one of these things they have had lots of food there. I will try to find out if they intend to have food.

T,

please add Lillian to the list!

Will you be providing a more specific time you will be leaving from 30th Street on Amtrack?

Also with Amtrack cost I'm assuming that is one way!

I would like to go that route, due to not being familiar with the NY address.

Thanks!!

Thanks, mt! I'll keep a separate list, but please do find out if thery're providing food, even if it's just snacks like at the Korea Society. Their snacks tend to be pretty substantial.

BTW (sorry for all these puppies) it just occurred to me, I'm planning on bringing a couple of friends along for dinner first then the screening. Is it open to non-Board members?

YES I WOULD LOVE TO GO PLEASE SENT ME THE INVITE INFORMATION SO THEY WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM AT THE DOOR WHEN I GET THERE.

THANKS.

Ok to answer all the questions before I add people.....

KBS tells me that, among other things, they will be serving noodles at the event. Maybe an early snack and a late dinner might be a better choice?

I was also told...

Quote:

Ken Lee, director of production, said one of the biggest reasons KBS America has an event on the east coast is you guys! It’s great that your group travels all the way to NYC.

You guys = Us

Yes, the event is open to anyone. Our presence was specifically requested but it isn't a private event. You can bring guests if you like. No one will be turned away but it would be great if you mentioned you were part of this group. I am just trying to get an idea on how many so that KBS isn't shocked when we overrun the place.

Lillian - I don't know what time I will be traveling yet. One time I took the train, it was delayed and I almost missed an event. Another time I was early and had to kill lots of time at Penn Station. The price is a one way ticket. They have similarly priced trains coming back to 30th St. As it gets closer, you and I can coordinate so we take the same train. We can also coordinate with the others to meet at Penn Station and go together.

 

i have one question since i am going there with my sister are they going to allow us in without invitation pass??? or we don't need or there so sign up sheet to get in???

Good you and your sister are more than welcome. They might have a sign in book but it is no biggie. As I said earlier, I was trying to get a rough idea for KBS so they weren't shocked when a jillion of us walk in. Can I put you down for you plus 1 guest?

 

yes please you can add me& a guest

thank you

I would also like to bring a guest to the movie.. and I am interested in the dinner afterwards,,, yummm noodles.. better than pop corn !

Wish I could go, but I have a conflict. I've seen Noodle Road & it is really an interesting series. Enjoy!

SInce they're serving noodles, etc., I'm holding off on early dinner. We can always walk over to the Korean Palace afterwards if we're still hungry.

I'm planning to bring two gueses, mt, so it's puppy+2. Thanks.
