Sit the Iron Throne
HBO continues their marketing blitz for Game of Thrones, now offering fans in select US cities the chance to have their picture taken on the Iron Throne. Starting today and running through Sunday, the Iron Throne will be in New York City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and San Francisco. Here are the exact times and locations:
NEW YORK
Thursday, April 14 – Union Square (photo booth 11am – 7pm)
Friday, April 15 – Columbus Circle (photo booth 11am – 7pm)
Saturday/Sunday, April 16/17 – 14th and 9th (photo booth – 1pm – 9pm Sat / 11am – 7pm Sun)
LOS ANGELES
Thursday, April 14 – Sunday April 17 – Hollywood & Highland Courtyard (photo booth 11am-7pm)

SAN FRANCISCO

In addition, HBO has Iron Throne-fitted pedi-cabs wandering the streets of New York City, giving complimentary rides for those brave enough to sit on its dangerous, blade-infused seat. (Just kidding, the seats are normal, padded seats.) You can check out a shot of one in action at GRRM’s Not A Blog.
Winter Is Coming: This is crazy. HBO has pulled out all the stops for this marketing campaign. If this show doesn’t get big numbers on Sunday, we can’t blame the HBO marketing dept. And I may just have to head over to Philly and have a seat on the Iron Throne…
