Saw office space last night at the midnight showing at acts one and two. It was wonderful, packed theater in the middle of the night where they smash a real printer on stage before hand, and people cheer at all the best parts... And they showed the trailer for Hi-Fi. It was great.

Also saw Brahms's requiem, or rather, I hears all but the first movement. We met up for dinner before hand which went too long. Dinner was great though, Thai with about 8 people from the dept., two bottles of wine, which were quite good. But at any rate we were late, and so only the two of us who had gotten tickets early got to get in, but they'd oversold seats so we had to sit in the vestibule where they wait to sit you. We could still hear ok, but couldn't see. Anyway, it was good, and its great fun trying to follow along the words in the program, cause they jump around and repeat things and its all in German so I was mostly totally lost and then occasionally you hear them say "gehabt" and you can find where you are and stay with it for a minute or so, great fun.
