12/18 - Lightsaber Battle NYC: Battle of Hoth Edition!


* THIS IS NOW A FAN-RUN EVENT!* We will not be distributing lightsabers at this event, but it is free and BYOL. If you contributed to the Tilt, your card was never charged and the hold will be reversed by Tilt shortly. Have fun! MTFBWY

JEDI AND SITH! We may have had a battle earlier this year, but now that The Force Awakens is about to rock the planet, many have been asking: What about NYC?! Well, we're going for the World Record for the Largest Lightsaber Battle in the World, so you got it!

Join us for a massive battle of Jedi vs. Sith in NYC on Star Wars Episode VII opening weekend. Pick a side of the force and use that venerable, ancient, glowing tool: the lightsaber, in the ultimate nocturnal showdown. In the past we have attracted up to 2000 warriors in New York City and Toronto, and we can expect even more this time :)

Lightsaber Battle NYC 2015: August 15th 2015

Join us for a massive battle of Jedi vs. Sith in New York City. Pick a side of the force and use that venerable, ancient, glowing tool: the lightsaber, in the ultimate nocturnal showdown. In the past we have attracted up to 1000 warriors, and we can expect more this year :)

How it Works

RESERVATION LINK: https://newmindspace.myshopify.com/products/color-changing-lightsaber

For every $10 you contribute, we will reserve one lightsaber for you. Each lightsaber changes up to 6 colors is about 3' long. You will walk up to a big truck full of lightsabers, say your name, and we will give you the sabers.

After all the sabers have been distributed, we will gather in the park, split into Jedi and Sith, and the battle will begin!

Yes, of course, you can bring your own. If you get sabers from us:

ALL SABERS (We sold out last year) - $10

1/11 - No Pants Subway Ride!


Image source: ibtimes.com

Sunday, January 11, 2015
3PM - 5PM
7 Meetup points throughout the city
After party to follow

MORE INFO HERE!
The No Pants Subway Ride is an annual event staged by Improv Everywhere every January in New York City. The mission started as a small prank with seven guys and has grown into an international celebration of silliness, with dozens of cities around the world participating each year. The idea behind No Pants is simple: Random passengers board a subway car at separate stops in the middle of winter without pants. The participants behave as if they do not know each other, and they all wear winter coats, hats, scarves, and gloves. The only unusual thing is their lack of pants.
