There was drama, there was illness, but I did end up seeing the twenty short SF movies at the Cinerama on Saturday. Capsule reviews follow.
( First half )
I think they loaded the second showing with more good stuff on the assumption that more people would see it. It might've been marginally more, since the evening one actually sold out and I don't know that the 4pm show did, but the theater was about equally full for both. The organizers hadn't anticipated such a response. I'm not sure if they were planning to blather as much if there'd been fewer people, but there was a lot of wasted time as it was.
( Second half )
Overall, lots of fun, really glad I went even with a headache.
