Wellington Movie Night: Mighty Aphrodite (Classics Fundraiser)

[daisyninjagirl]

As you might know, mashugenah and I are going to Greece this summer, and are begging, borrowing and (ahem) not stealing as much as we can to help out financially. To that end, we present the Classics Club Fundraiser Movie Night:

Mighty Aphrodite
A Woody Allen movie about a couple whose adopted son Max turns out to be brilliant. Lenny becomes obsessed with finding his birth mother who turns out to be a porn star/prostitute/dumbest but most likeable person in existence. It's based on the structure of a Greek Tragedy complete with a chorus, an appeal to Zeus and a deus ex machina finale, so should be a bit of fun. Check out imdb if you like - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113819/maindetails

Friday 8 September (first week back after the break)
Doors open 7pm, movie starts at 8pm.
Inverlochy House,
3 Inverlochy Place, off Abel Smith St in Te Aro.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $18 for students.

The ticket price includes a glass of wine and a small platter of medezes (greek nibbles) for everyone.

Contact me or Mash if you'd like to come, cheques should be made out to the Victoria University Classics Club.

Wow I'd love to go to Greece. Im very envious. Don't forget to get travel insurance :P

I recommend Mike Henry or Southern Cross. Southern Cross is cheaper but Mike Henry is the best. Southern Cross is not bad though. I can get you a discount on Mike Henry insurance but it will probably still work out more expensive than SCTI.

(sorry that was my workaholic side coming out)

That's largely being taken care of by the University. All we have to do is front up with the cash. :)

Sounds good. I'll come.

I think you should do a Classics t-shirt fundraiser. I'd buy one.

Sean left $40 for our tickets for you at John's last night. Don't let those profligate flatmates spend it on utilities.
