The Shat Ball 3: Trekkies Boldly Go to the Bell House in Brooklyn
Photos by Sam Garret and Donald David
It was a convocation of tribes akin— in passion, if not in scale—to Woodstock, Burning Man or the Gathering of the Juggalos. More than 100 hardcore William Shatner fans assembled at The Bell House in South Brooklyn last Thursday night for Shat Ball 3, a multimedia celebration of the legendary actor, musician, and horseman.
As DJ Brian Blackout spun “hot space jams” from the likes of David Bowie, Gorillaz, and, of course, Shatner himself, costumed Trekkies partied furiously over frothing glasses of “Romulan Ale,” “Klingon Blood Wine,” and other Star Trek-inspired drinks. It was like a scene out of Night of the Living Trekkies come to life on the banks of the Gowanus Canal.

Pride & Prejudice & Dr. Who
Sure, the syncing is a bit off… but come on. This is Pride & Prejudice mixed with Dr. Who! David Tennant would totally approve of this.

Night of the Living Bread?
Great. I already spend way more money than I should on t-shirt websites like Threadless, Teefury, Ript Apparel and Woot's daily t-shirt deal site. Now I've got Seventh Ink to add to that list, thanks to this hilarious Night of the Living Bread t-shirt.
"Look out, legions of Zombie Bread are walking the earth! They seek Graaaaains and no toaster or butter knife can stop them. Tagless and printed on American Apparel."
Yup, sold. Learn more about the clothing line, here.
