Star Trek Premier

The World premier of the Star Trek movie was held in Sydney, on April 7th at the Sydney Opera House. Of course the stars where there, Eric Bana, J.J. Abrams, Zachery Quinto (Sylar from Heroes) and John Cho, also the guys who played McCoy and Kirk (Chris Pine) too, but nobody knew their names. Suprisingly, there were no 'Trekkies', which I was really hoping to take some photos of, for the archives. 

After standing on the red-carpet taking photos, in my underdressed shorts and shirt, I heard my name called out

 over the loud-speaker as a competition winner! The draw that I'd put my name into jus

t moments earlier had finished and I'd won 2 tickets in to see the film. Being by myself at the time, I had enough time to say "Does anyone want a" before "ooh yeah, me, I do!" was yelle

d at me from all directions. That made his day! Whomever he was.

The film was actually pretty good, and to have the opportunity to see it in the specially converted Opera House was an added bonus. 

Here are a few photos from the event.
