NOTE from Shawn: Currently planning to attend on the 7th (Shahed, The Witness), the 8th (Billy Elliot), the 13th (Heldin) and the 15th (Dream Scenario). When I am there, I will try to find a spot near the top, by the bush on the right (when looking up the hill). I will always try to wear a very bright color such as orange!
