Press Quotes
From New York 1, May 14, 2002:
"It's an event. The tickets are kind of secondary at this point. They just want to have some fun and raise awareness for their charity."
From Star Wars Insider, June, 2002:
"The NYLine was stationed dutifully outside the Ziegfeld Theater in midtown Manhattan, working to raise money for the Starlight Children's Foundation...The line, which was so organized that people had to sign up to take part in it, had Star Wars Weakest Link, among other things, and generally had a great time. Apparently, Conan O'Brien was so impressed by the line that he sent his cameras over there to harass eager fans."
From USATODAY.com (Hot Site), May, 2002:
"After the troubles that rocked New York on September 11th, it's refreshing to see the return of that fundamentally American phenomenon - the Star Wars pre-release ticket line. Includes webcasts, 'Fan of the Day' and musings such as 'Will it ever stop raining??"
From the New York Daily News, May 3, 1999:
"We wouldn't be out here if it weren't for Starlight, said Phil Nash, 17, a high school student from Lynbrook...A friend of mine had cancer, and Starlight got him a computer for his hospital room so he wouldn't fall behind in his schoolwork..."
From CNN.com, May, 1999:
"A couple hours here, a couple hours there. Kevin himself has put about two hours a day for the past two weeks and seems none the worse for wear. He also hips me to a very important, seldom referred-to fact about the Wait. This is also a charity situation."
From Time Out NY Critic's Pick, May, 1999:
"NYLine, a volunteer group of fans, has turned its devotion to the new Star Wars episode into a charity event for the Starlight Children's Foundation...Starting today, volunteers begin waiting in line for the first showing of the movie; they'll raise money with pledges for each hour they stand...Anyone who wants to drop by with sandwiches for the waiters is more than welcome. And, of course, May the Force Be With Them."
