Anything I've missed on this list? Let me know.

Labyrinth is on at the Globe tomorrow night. I did watch it saturday on DVD though. Still, not sure I've ever managed to get to a Globe showing before.

Hmm..13 dollars on Labyrinth or go see a movie like Benjamin Button...

Probably would be fun, but at this stage I reckon it would be just as such to organise a movie night at someone's house instead. Of course, I've yet to see Ziggy Stardust...

So the Battlestar viewing? Saturday, Lozza's place? Not many people have responded. Who else is coming?

Hey my place is up for offer too. no aircon though Me and Goobs are there, whereever it is. Anytime after lunch is fine.

I originally wasn't able to come to this, but thanks to a bizarre set of circumstances involving the Australian Defence Force, a case of Guinness, Sinn Fein and a slippery slide, I can make it now

Keep me appraised of time, location, and what I need to bring.

Be seeing you,

Magnus Darcrider

Sinn Fein? This should be good.

Loz's place, after lunch, so I dunno, about 1:00. No need to bring anything. I'll provide the episodes, Goob will provide the webisodes, and I'll also bring along season 3, because I'd quite like to watch Crossroads pt 2 as a leadin to the season 4 opening.

In terms of food and drink, there's a bottle shop just down the road, right across from one of the best pizzerias I've been to. I'd say we're set.

Is Supanova on this list? I know we've been there and done that, but I've somehow become enthusiastic about a costume or two. Honestly I vote we do a steam punk version of every costume we've ever done!

Kahlan and I are afk a few days. See yas later in the week.

We're thinking of movies... Tonight..Friday.

Planning on Batman Begins and Dark Knight double, unless anyone else has a better double bill to watch.

Drinking also, and crashing allowed.

Stop by if you feel like company, after 6.


Goobs and K inc.

...sms us or PM to let us know if you're coming too. We'll hold off on the movie till yas arrive.

Sorry kids, we got home a bit late and now Paul is stuck in front of the telly watching the cricket - hope it was fun though

Paul was very disappointed that he missed last night - and wonders if anyone would be interested in watching DVDs over here tonight? We've just dug up my evil dead/army of darkness dvds, but will watch anything really.

Paul says (as a kind of bribe) that there might be monster/rocky road in it for anyone who wants to come over

We've got the munchkin tonight so can't unfortunately..unless an evening of kids movies was desired.

Sorry, you guys missed it. Should've sms'd you probably. Me and my last minute planning. Fun evening, good company.We ended up watching the whole cricket match ( seems more of us like the one-dayers than previously thought) and then Batman Begins , so still have Dark Knight to go at a later date.

Edit: remembered that BSG airs today. WOOHOOOOO. Will be watching that after munchkin hits the old Toy Story doona.

Yeah, thanks again for the invite, K. Was good fun.

Can't make it tonight I'm afraid Morgan. 'nother time, perhaps. I'd be up for another day of Doctor Who, the last one was great fun.

It's all good - another Doctor Who day would be great. Will organise something eventually.

Paul is thinking about marathoning Pirates of the Carrabean 1 - 3 on Sunday (25th). Let us know if your interested in joining.

I may be hung over, but that'll be appropriate I suspect

Be seeing you,

Magnus Darcrider

The Queensland Theatre Company has sent out it's 2009 Season details, and while there's only one or two plyas I'm interested in seeing, I thought some of you may be interested in the others.

They are:

The Alchemist
That Face
God of Carnage
25 Down
The School of Arts
Ninety
The Year of Magical Thinking
The Crucible
Toy Symphony

I'm planning on seeing The Alchemist and The Crucible, but may be persuaded to see the others. Let me know if there's any interest through the usual channels.

Also, further seats have gone on sale for the musical Chicago. I still haven't arranged to see it yet, so again, let me know if you're interested.

Be seeing you,

Magnus Darcrider

This is where we'll be, joiners very welcome.

Those that need to catch up..you have 3 days..taking Friday off work and staying awake from Thursday afternoon would probably get you through seasons 1-4

Luke, Kahli, Paul and Morgs, this means you!

*Finger poised over the crazy button

Another cool place to watch a loved movie

Rooftop movies in the valley!

I'm all cought up. Have seasons 1-4 on dvd. But have taken saturday off to re-watch season 4 marathon from 10am and eps 11, 12 and the new 13 on sci/fi channel.

I might just be up/ready for something like this.
