Re: For those in Santa Monica area..

Aw man, that's my stomping grounds, but I don't think I can make it this Fri 
night.  I did just see the Royal Albert Hall movie in Hollywood last month.  It 
was just the DVD Disc 1, but still, to see it up on the big screen was really 
cool.  Brought back those memories of the midnight 'Song Remains the Same' 
showings (to reference another thread!).  Definitely well worth it for anyone 
who can make it!

Cheers,
Steve Z
