Hammer & Coop Premier in NYC

February 20, 2007 on 11:00 pm | In Hammer & Coop, Recent Posts |

This evening we drove into Manhattan to attend the Hammer & Coop Premier hosted by MINI USA and Dennis Publications the publishers of Maxim, Stuff and Blender magazines at the Union Square Regal theatre.  At the entrance we were greeted by MINI Takes The States familiar faces Trudy Harding, MINI Marketing Manager and Gerry Mathews, MINI Business Manager and their staff who rolled out the red carpet.

After we signed in we received our tickets and Swag bag full of the March issue of all three magazines.  Suggest you run out and get these issues!!!  Each features the 8 page Hammer & Coop pullout and don’t worry what the wife will say! You’re getting them to see the MINI advertisement and has nothing to do with the sizzling covers though Stuff’s article on ‘How to Date a Supermodel’ is rather educational as does Maxim’s Christina Aguilera Art of Seduction but I digress.  (Ian, no worries I have a set for you )

Hammer was not able to attend the premier but his stunt double ‘Grand Slam Coyote’was in attendance.  He greeted fans and signed autographs .  The likeness was uncanny though he seems taller on film!

In attendance we met more familiar faces.  Here is Gary, his eldest Austin and Trudy.

And new ones.  Here is Luis and Elsa walking down the red carpet fashionably dressed in MINI attire.

After we picked up our popcorn and soda it was movie time.

where we viewed the first three episodes of Hammer & Coop on the big screen followed by a viewing of Ghostrider.  Yes! we viewed the unreleased third episode ‘Ninjas, Ninjas and more Ninjas’ which is scheduled to be released on the 22nd.  Another great episode and can not wait for the next.  It was really fantastic to view them on the big screen!

Special thanks to Steve Mahoney of Hassel MINI for the tickets and everyone at MINI and Dennis publications for yet another great event.   Keep it up….. MINI Rocks….   Click for more pixs
