This is one hell of a deal, folks, and it's available every weekend throughout the summer. Rooftop Films has organized these sweet nights that start off on a roof in either Brooklyn or Manhattan. There is an opening band and then a feature film. The band my friend and I saw was ACTIVELY bad, but hell, who cares, they were enthusiastic as fuck and I liked them. The movie was absolutely perfect; it's called The Fat Kid Rules the World, and I recommend it to everyone. The roof, which was on top of New Design High School, was also epically cool, with an amazing view and great art everywhere.
When it comes down to it, this blog doesn't really give a shit about music, movies. or even roofs. Surely, as people, Maia and I have music and movie preferences - we are not yet culturally neutral alcohol assassins - but in this blog we most certainly aim to be, and thus the point of this entry is to explain how the Rooftop Films Series can be an invaluable way to get drunk when you're broke.
For just twelve dollars, you get to go to this rooftop event AND go to a bar afterwards that serves complimentary drinks. When we went, the bar served free beer for 90 minutes!! Can you get really drunk off of free beer for 90 minutes? OF COURSE you can!! I'm embarrassed you even asked. That is a long, long time. Both my friend and I got drunk. She was even drunk hiccuping, a lot!! Sorry for all the exclamation points, but I find unlimited drinks very exciting.
It was a fun party, with lots of people and good music, and the beer was abundant. The cast of the movie we saw was in attendance. They only talked to each other, but if you get drunk enough, which you will, I bet you will dive right into that exclusive conversation and get yourself a role in an upcoming blockbuster.
There were clear places you could go to replace your beer and it only required a little bit of fighting through the crowded room to get to those places. The bartenders were cool, but one must remember that they expect tips since service is not included in the deal. So spend a few dollars on tipping the bartenders...the deal will still be great.
I didn't even drink close to as fast as I should have, and I still got drunk, so I award this event series our highest rating: this place gets you drunk. If you are truly committed, you can absolutely just stand next to the bar for an hour and a half and drink like 20 beers and be incredibly drunk. If someone tries that please report back! As far as other notes go, this night will most likely inspire you to go drunkenly find a roof to hang out on, so definitely have a roof ready to go for a 2AM hangout session. My friend and I went to her absolutely ridiculously great uptown roof and it was perfect. So find one of those.
