This Saturday night, at about 9:30, or whenever it starts to get dark, some friends and I are going to get together on the banks of the Huron, behind the new VG Kids building, and test out the Cycle Powered Cinema concept.

A recent Cycle Powered Cinema volunteer meeting drew about a dozen people, and I think we made some pretty good progress.
