Happy Birthday, Captain Kir. If anyone deserves a ball thrown in his honor, it's James Tiberius, legendary leader of the USS Enterprise. And that's just what some creative Trekkers did at The Shat Ball, an event at Brooklyn's Knitting Factory honoring both the Captain and the beloved Priceline.com spokesperson / greatest actor who ever lived who portrayed him.
The event featured improv comedy from the troupe Start Trekkin' as well as Trek-themed cocktails (who doesn't love a nice Romulan Ale?), and a Captain Kirk impersonation contest dubbed "Kirk-aoke." And, of course, everyone who showed up in costume received a free drink. (And, seeing as how the event was in Brooklyn and geared toward hardcore Trekkies, everyone showed up in costume.)
Also on hand were the comedy group the Raspberry Brothers, who gave the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" treatment to the much-hated (and Shatner-directed) "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier," as well as the sci-fi-friendly rock band Fall on Your Sword. If you ever wanted to see inebriated nerds dancing to the "Star Trek" theme, this was your night.
Check out photos from the "Shat-astic" event below. For extra fun, see if you can recognize our choice quotes from the Captain himself (bonus points if you can specify the episode title and number ... and if you can, we might have a job for you).

The Shat Ball
"Worlds are conquered, galaxies destroyed ... but a woman is always a woman."
"What makes you think you're a man? You're an overgrown jackrabbit. An elf with a hyperactive thyroid."
"KHAAAAAANNN!!!!!!!"
"There are certain things men must do to remain men."
"Well, Bones, all I can suggest ... is you open up a maternity ward."
"There seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere ..."
"I've already got a female to worry about. Her name is the Enterprise."
"Second star to the right ... and straight on 'til morning."
"Peace or ... UTTER DESTRUCTION ... it's up to you."
"War isn't a good life, but it's life."
