Orlando Science Center Blasts Off with Sci-Friday

July 16 at the Orlando Science Center, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Talk Back at the Screen During B-Movie Madness in the Darden Adventure Theater
Encounter Bad Movies, Klingons, Stormtroopers and Much, Much More!

ORLANDO, FL - (July 2, 2004) - Out of this world entertainment awaits you at the Orlando Science Center during the second round of “Cocktails and the Cosmos” on Friday, July 16. A crowd of nearly 900 packed the science center last month for the launch of this ongoing social event, which combines live music and cocktails with the fun and discovery of the Orlando Science Center every third Friday this summer.

Join the Orlando Science Center and MIX 105. 1 as “Cocktails and the Cosmos” presents “Sci-Friday,” an evening of stellar entertainment with a science fiction theme. For $7 admission (free to OSC members), you can enjoy all that the science center has to offer plus experience “B-Movie Madness with Stomp Tokyo.” Catch screenings of cheesy monster movies in the Darden Adventure Theater hosted by Chris Holland and Scott Hamilton, the comedic critics of www.stomptokyo.com and authors of the book, Reel Shame.

Holland and Hamilton will provide running commentary during the films and encourage the audience to talk back to the screen just like on “Mystery Science Theater 3000.” A different B-movie will be screened at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Holland and Hamilton will be signing copies of their book at 8:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.

During the evening, guests will also encounter a cadre of intergalactic interlopers such as Klingons and Stormtroopers, courtesy of the USS Haven Star Trek Club and Florida's 501st Stormtrooper Legion. Members from the Six Degrees Improve troupe will also be on hand, portraying various B-movie characters and interacting with the crowd.

These specially themed activities and prize drawings make Cocktails and the Cosmos the perfect setting for a unique “date night” or a creative outing with friends. Enjoy a colorful alternative to the downtown scene that offers stargazing through the telescopes of the Crosby Observatory in addition to mingling with other heavenly bodies on the SunTrust Terrace with an unobstructed view of the city skyline at sunset. Admission includes access to all the science center's fascinating hands-on exhibits plus:

  • Full-service cash bars on several floors
  • Deejay with music, fun and prizes on the fourth floor from 6 - 10 p.m.
  • Live music from local singer/songwriter Kris Nichols in the café from 7:30 - 10:30 p.m.
  • A romantic dining experience in the café with an upscale menu from 7 - 10 p.m.
  • Screenings of giant screen favorites all evening long in the Dr. Phillips CineDome
