Dani - how about tagging it on to the side of cinemfomation
Mike Media Tuesdays

There are people here who can come and see stuff
Freddie - we would have
Dani we would need headphones, where are there any.
Mike - at western - we had a station for each person, prizes and buffet.
Freddie -This site is a bit out the way.
Kat- think people would come,
Nic - my anxiety about the cube is that it says something different than some of our material. A bit of a gear change.
Essentially a lot of what you are doing is corporate work, where would I want to show my stuff, would I want to go to the cube. I would do it at the watershed rather the cube.
Freddie - of the Nokia stuff the attitude is that it is a party, but you have the opportunity to see thing while you are there.
Kirsty - the Boca bar event space - they would make money on the bar.
Freddie - the design of the boca bar.
