October 2013 MSP Audio Geeks Meetup

Tuesday, October 29th


October's MSP Audio Geeks meetup will be this Tuesday, October 29th at 6:30pm at the ShowPlace ICON theater. Dolby® Atmos™ recently came to this theater, so let's check it out! They will be playing Gravity in the equipped theater. We will plan to attend the 8:20pm screening.

Tickets are reserved seating so we will meet at 6:30pm near the ticketing counter so we can choose seats accordingly. VIP seating is $16 & non-VIP is $11. Once we've all arrived we can decide which section to sit in.

Once we have procured tickets we will then proceed to the 2nd floor lobby lounge to geek out prior to the movie. If you can't stay for the show you can still hang out with us in the lounge beforehand without purchasing a movie ticket.

Invite your friends and come join us for a night of geeky conversation! If you are planning to attend, please RSVP to mspaudiogeeks [at] gmail [dot] com so we can be on the lookout for you.
