April 4, 2007 - Coming Soon To A Campus Near You

This Friday, what happens when games and geeks combine? One night. One Wedge. One gathering. The Jourdonnais stars in... "Friday Gaming".

(Show starts at 6:30pm. Due to scheduling conflicts, show may be delayed until the following Sunday. Check your local Ticketmaster for details.)

Fakir was just a young man, guarding his friend with his life. Rue was just trying to make daddy dearest proud. Mytho was just trying to figure out who he was. Until she walked into their world. From the director of a bunch of other things, this Tuesday at the Founders 106-plex... "Princess TuTu, Vol. 6". The stunning conclusion begins at 6:00pm.

It was their last best hope for peace... or was it? Babylon 5 is a space station for the ages. As a meeting grounds for hundreds of alien races, it was a bustling central hub for trade and treaty. But what happens when people stop being generous, and start getting greedy? From the master of cool stuff, J. Michael Straczynski, comes "Babylon 5", showing at the Founders 106-plex Wednesday at 8:00pm.

What would happen if you gave forty Nerf guns to a pile of geeks? "You can't bring her back by shooting me, Jack." Coming April 20th... "I don't have any choice, Sam." to Quad Cinemas... "I have the antigen!!!" 12:00pm. "Nerf: The Massacre on the Green".

In a world where rares can be lame, one man takes them in, gives them a home... and makes them fight to the death. This Friday, one man will take on the world, pinning crappy rare against crappy rare in a Magic the Gathering draft to end all drafts. Nathan Hebert IS Nathan Hebert IN "The End of Rares". Contact your local Nathan for time and location.

The Cylons were created by man. They eveolved. They rebelled. There are many copies. And they have a plan. Coming to a PC near you, based on the popular "Freespace 2", this spring's biggest Galactica-related hit... "Beyond the Red Line". Pick up a copy today at your local Internet.

In a land where gamers walk the earth, and cheesy pop-culture references lord over the masses. One group stands tall. The GDC IS the GDC IN "Come! Play! Games!". Showing at your local Odeum Cinema April 7. Showing continuously from noon to midnight.

What if you had to be the very best, like no one ever was? Would catching them be the real test, or is training them the cause? This Friday, at a wherever-Adler-appears near you... "POKEMANZ the Musical". Come and relive the magic of the Pokémon TCG.

In a world where Jessica Alba is unknown. In a time when bar codes were really really cool. In a place where it strategically looks like a lot of other places. "Dark Angel: Till U Bleed". Showing at the local Founders 107-plex Thursdays at 7pm.

What if puzzles were less of a pleasant side-activity? What if they were all you had? What if your very life came down to whether that square holds an 8 or a 5? Robyn Colopy IS The Puzzlebringer IN "Nikoli, Nikoli". Go to the movie website to see a sneak peek, what the puzzles have to offer. Then contact your local Robyn with moneys and which books you want.

"I... I forgot." In a world... "I guess I just got... caught up in other things?" ...where one man... "Look, it was an accident, I swear." ...gets a second chance... "Can we just try to start over... from scratch?" (Salisbury Hill plays in the background). Richard Pavis IS The Stick IN "Order of the Stick: Return of the Game". Contact him for more details.

Sometimes, all you need is some light in your life. That's what the kids at Camp New Voices thought. Until they came. Showing in a spectacular three-night engagement, a seven-show extravaganza. "New Voices 25: Electric Boogaloo Hootenanny Hoedown Hullabaloo Jive". Begins April 12th.
