Saturday, September 15, 2007 from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM (PT)
Mark your calendars -- The event we've all been so patiently waiting for is finally here, the World Premiere of "Bookie"!
Synopsis:
BOOKIE takes place in 1963, long before gambling was accepted social behavior for Saturday nights. It tells the story of a man who learns he can't live his life on the sidelines forever.
On the night of a wildly anticipated boxing fight, crowds pack into a raucous soul r&b nightclub for a chance at alcohol, wild music, and easy money. Word is out that the champ's got the fight in the bag and Bookie takes down bets from all corners.
Amidst it all, he can't help but notice the beautiful waitress Billie have a violent falling out with Jackson, her lover and Bookie's all-controlling boss. Bookie attempts to help matters, but the odds prove far more difficult -- they will have to trust each other completely to totally break free of Jackson and the nightclub.

Seating Details:
9.4 UPDATE: The Plestcheeff Auditorium has 293 seats. We are currently sold out for the first screening and accomodating a second screening to take place right after the first one. You can order these Screening #2 reservations now, but there will only be 293 available. We will not have time for a third screening! Since there may be last minute no-shows, those with Screening #2 reservations may be able to get into Screening #1, but that will be a determination made the day of the premiere. As a courtesy to others, please register for only the number of people you are confident will attend. Also check with your significant other as they may have already received an invite.
Parking Details:
The WaMu parking garage entrance is below the SAM building on Union Street between First and Second Avenues. (206.264.8444) Saturday hours are 9AM - midnight. More Information
Dress Code:
Come as you wish, we won't have bouncers at the door checking your getup, but anything from Casual Chic to Dressy Casual would be great-- or even Creative Black Tie for those wanting to sport a 60s theme!
Viewer Discretion:
Although "Bookie" is not officially rated, it would likely be classified as PG-13 due to scenes of graphic violence. We ask that you not bring young children to the premiere.
The Afterparty!
A chance to get together and party! We will reconvene later at 10PM at the Capitol Club where DJ Johnny Horn of KEXP and DJ Thai Lander will be providing the night's music. With a great selection of food and drinks, Yelp gives Capitol Club four stars!
