I take it that the general public won’t be invited to this, especially since they had a contest prior to the event which offered the winner a chance to attend this screening. Still, it looks like it will be fun!
Sounds like I may actually get a chance to go to this thing today, even if I’ll only be a spectator on the side-lines. Still, I’ll snap some photographs for you guys and… bring my sketchbook… just in case….
