The Princess Twin and Cinema can play any DVD you've got on the big screen. I've read in the past that we used to play the SIGGRAPH video.

Ideas

  1. Build a solid community: hold meetings every two weeks
  2. CSC Frisbee Team (Dodgeball for W2009)
  3. An event every week at least and get a program committee formed to help the veep with this effort (we should have one in theory)
  4. Get the library ship shape. See Library Project

Movie Night

The Princess Twin and Cinema can play any DVD you've got on the big screen. This costs $150, as of this writing I don't know how long that books the theater for or if we can play more than one DVD. This information is available if we call their office at 519-885-1048 between 9am and 2pm when the person in charge of DVD screening bookings is around. The ACM SIGGRAPH does still produce a video review. In fact it produces 6 per SIGGRAPH conference as of 2008. They can be purchased on the ACM E-store for $60 each or $40 for members. The cgl might have a subscription or buy them, I've e-mailed Craig Kaplan asking about this.
