So, an awesome thing happened this spring in NYC. The HBO series Game of Thrones from the spellbinding (actually addicting) George R.R. Martin A Song of Ice and Fire books, had an exhibit of the costumes and armour and all things good from the show. Aaaahmazing!
So I stood in line for one hour and 45 minuets and did not get in. Booo!
So the nest day I went back with a friend who had a Time Warner Cable subscription and we got into a shorter line. This saved me from being fired. And I have to admit, I would have stood in that line until I got in; which it seems would have been more that one hour and 45 minutes.
So what did I see? They had Ned's head! How cool is that? A little dragon, the hound's mail, and all the awe, the wonder that is the costuming of the show. The designers and producers (the smiths, seamstresses, tailors, archery masters, they all are genius)!
Swords, masks, gloves and boots, jewelry, money, bows and arrows, knives, and THE throne.
Yes it was so beautiful and I am very impressed. (MONEY!!!!).
I was saddened that the swords on the throne were dull.
Nanny State!
And the swords and bows, beautifully made, and the dragon eggs were, well they were, opalescent and scaly and absolutely what dragon's eggs should be. I guess…
I took a few photos, so I hope you get the jist of what it was like.
Oh BTW, the two folk you see dressed like Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo?
Not actors! NOOOOO they came to see the exhibit.
(p.s. this was the coldest spring EVER!)
As you can tell I had a great time! Thanks to my friends Evan Cheng and Sarah Rebar for coming along to what can only be a harbinger of a great spring and summer.
Here are some of the photos I took, and the one we got taken for us by the exhibit. Enjoy, and go see it if it comes near your town.
