Yes, thanks Chris, that was very cool of you considering it's conflicting with your own film!

For those wondering where Dwinelle Hall is:

I'll begoing with a bunch of friends-ought to be good! I was planning on going to the movie in San Rafael, but as Chris's video is the only one I wanted to see, and my friend owns it and I've seen it, plans have changed. Plus, I live just north of campus :)
I'll drink some beers afterward, cleo. Jupiter? Lane splitters?

Let's do Jupiter! I'll be a little lateish arriving for beer since I'm "involved" with the film, but you should recognize me as I'll likely be standing up front and talking.
