This Saturday, the Wait is Over!Though it’s doubtful that any of you have been waiting as long for this day as Andrew and I, we hope that you’re equally excited. We can’t wait to finally present the film to everyone and have been overwhelmed by the amount of interest we’ve had so far since announcing the screening a few weeks ago. If you’ve already signed up on our Eventbrite page, great, but if you haven’t don’t despair because you might still be able to get in just by showing up (or join us for the afterparty at W2). We know that there are lots of other great Olympic related events going on that day, but we hope that you’ll include us in your schedule. Here are the details:
We’ll also be hosting our friends from W2, Hope in Shadows, Megaphone Magazine and OpenMedia.ca, as well as raising money for the construction of a wireless mesh network in the DTES Reserved tickets will be held until 15 minutes before showtime and then released on a first come – first served basis. If you miss this screening, keep your ears open for other opportunities throughout the coming year, and we’ll keep you posted as well |
