"run for your life" fred lebow movie afterparty at reboot

i didn't have time write this up yesterday. after the premiere of "run for you life," we went to the party hosted by flatbush pictures at reboot, an organic vegetarian restaurant in the east village. since it was so close to the theater, emmy, rob, sue and i walked there.

mary wittneberg was there. she told us the nyrrc is looking into the possibility of staging an ultra on randall's island (in addition to the knickerbocker 60k in november)! that's something i hope finds its way onto the nyrr schedule!

bob glover was there. emmy asked him where his wife, shelly, was (co-author with bob of "the competitive runners handbook). bob said that she's tapering for an upcoming marathon - but will be at the friday night screening of the film. last year, we rode down on the wtc bus to staten island for the start of the nyc marathon with shelly.

we also met another bob, the uncle of a film crew member. he's run 25 consecutive nyc marathons! it was fun trading war stories of marathons past with him. since emmy has run 18 nyc marathons herself, they had plenty to talk about.

and, on the refreshment side, i got to try a new beer - brahma. initially, i thought this was from india (named after the hindu god of creation). turned out it was from brazil - go figure! i also tried a couple of brooklyn brewery beers; pilsner and brown ale. good stuff to go with the sushi platter that greeted us at the start, and replaced with various pizzas afterwards.

all in all a great way to celebrate the premier of a great film!

here are a couple of photos:
