New Photos! CHOKE Events
Hosted By Radar, Apple & Strand

Radar Magazine hosted a CHOKE screening and Q&A at the IFC Centre in New York City's West Village Thursday night and crowds of editors, writers and downtown hipsters galore turned out! In fact, the event was so packed that people had to (sadly) be turned away...

Below are photos from the Radar events Thursday and the Q&A at the Strand bookstore on Saturday, plus links to additional coverage. The Q&A with CHOKE director/writer Clark Gregg, Sam Rockwell and the always entertaining Chuck Palahniuk was conducted by Radar editor Aaron Gell, followed by an after-party at nearby bar Kingswood.

As mediabistro.com noted, "Radar executive editor Aaron Gell ... expressed gratitude that people showed up, presumably in light of the Barack Obama acceptance orgy occurring at the same time. "I was kinda amazed that this many people stayed for the question and answer session," he said. "Usually, on a night like this, a big television night, people leave as the credits roll." Read the entire post.

Gothamist did some great coverage of the Q&A with long quotes from the three artists.

For (in my opinion) the best overall selection of photos from the Radar Q&A and after-party AND the CHOKE event at the legendary Strand bookstore, visit Zimbio.

The Apple store event with Chuck and Clark took place Friday night - stay tuned for photos from that event as well!
