I agree, I also go there to attend the events but unable to find the venue. It is fortunate that I am riding with my motorbike so after circling the campus two times, I went home. There were no banners outside the building for the said events and happens that I forgot the printed PLUG annoucement. Tsk tsk.

Of course, I realize that it may have been the only place available -- which, as theaters go, was a nice place nonetheless. I also don't know what happened after lunch since I had to leave. In any event, I suggest that the venues for succeeding SFDs be more accessible and visible. I hope organizers of future SFDs don't get discouraged by my criticism -- it's meant to improve future events, not tear down the organizers. -- Daniel O.
