advanced screening? isnt the movie already out?

 

[jemsta]

damn those activities sound good
can i use my id card from last year?

 

[DavidV]

Your ID card should be valid til March, but if you are a new student, get your card early in the week so you can enjoy all the nighttime events. If you head to e-Spot before 9am or after 4pm you should avoid major queues and can then spend most of your day checking out the awesome daytime activities.

xxPanDa - The Illusionist isn't out until sometime early in march - so you get to see it all for free, with free popcorn and before anyone else. Plus if you check out IMDB you'll notice it's getting awesome reviews and if it's anything like The Prestige I'll be stoked

sunjet - $15 dollars might seem expensive for the comedy night, but when you take into account that Wil Anderson normally charges $60 plus for a gig, youll see it's quite heavily subsidised - plus last time he performed he was on stage for a good hour and 45 minutes and got really interactive with the audience so it was definately well worth it
