Absolutely.  JTS has his brain screwed in right.

I got it from www.thinkgeek.com (and paid import duty for the pleasure).
I've not seen a UK distributor for the movie (JTS was frankly suprised that
I had got it in the UK at all).

Fair enough.  I just tend to hammer on about that whenever I can.

Yup. It _is_ a requirement - mostly so he can advertise the screening, we
can't do a closed door screening  (i.e. if non-LUG members want to come see
it we have to let them - this is pretty much how our meets run anyway, so I
see no problem there).

Agreed

4. Put some posters up in the Internet cafes in the area.

Good plan... anyone know these kind of places and their proprietors?
