Men In Black 2 Party, Sydney

13 June 2002

Last night the coolest ticket in town was a ticket to the Men In Black 2 party at Sydney's 'secret location' (that we can now reveal was the Orbit Lounge on George Street). Tickets were hard to come by but TVHITS.com.au made sure that we weren't alienated!

Security was tight. It was hard to tell whether this was for real or put on to create more on an 'MIB' vibe - either way, these dudes meant business and let no-one into the venue before 7pm, regardless of who they were!

When the doors opened the media made their way up the red, sorry i mean black, carpet.

The inside was decorated so well that it made you feel like you were actually part of the film!

The waiters and waitresses were even dressed up as aliens (or maybe they WERE aliens!) Some even had alcohol filled intergalatcic guns that that they proceeded to shoot into the glasses of party goers. It was awesome!

At about 8pm the stars arrived. Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and Lara Flynn Boyle were all on hand to help celebrate. As soon as they made it through the door they were dragged up onto a small stage where they were interviewed for a short time before signing autographs for eager VIP's.

Then it was over, the stars didn't mingle after that; they kept to themselves in their own VIP section. Nobody minded though, they were just happy to be there. There was plenty to do anyway. You could even get a photo of yourself super-imposed onto a photo of the movie cast - making you part of the action.
