A special auditorium with 200 quality seats and superb audiovisual equipment provides the quality experience for all of you moviebuffs. If it's good enough for Olympic hot-shots it's certainly good enough for you.

\2Special arrangements with the local fire department allow Sleeping inside the hall. (No more sleeping outside in a tent, we're computer freaks and not Grizzly Adam's fans.)
