I've bolded the stuff I'd like to see, but nothing specifc yet—some of the stuff I haven't highlighted (like Phibes) is cool but I've watched it recently as Jennie's got the DVD. It's in Bradford, 20 minutes by bus from us here in Brighouse, anyone wanting advice for accommodation give us a shout, sofa space may still be available.

Facebook event for those interested.

Ooooooooooooh!

There are many things there I want to see. And I think we'll have to get our arses down there quite sharpish on Friday!

About time

Hm, I haven't received it yet.
Cool! No booking link? I guess you have to phone the box office? Must remember to book room at the Waterfront Lodge. Shall do so tonight.

I haven't seen Phibes in ages and I don't think I've ever seen them in the original.

Are the double bills incl. in the weekend pass?

Damn, there's some good stuff on that list! And of course Bradford is jolly convenient for me too, and it would be lovely to meet you and snapesbabe anyway. I'll have to pick and choose a bit, as we'll have our External Examiners visiting that weekend, and we're all morally obliged to accompany them out for dinner at least once. Am leaning mainly towards the Sunday at the moment, though the Phibes stuff on the Saturday is tempting...
