Hey - my Mary Poppins tickets arrived in the mail today - I'm getting excited now. I can't wait to see it again

[KeithS]

I was in Melbourne on Thursday and they have the Mary Poppins billboards everywhere! As soon as I stepped of the plane there was a giant billboard beside the taxi rank - and more as you head into the city, so they are really pushing this down there.

It opened to rave reviews on Thursday night - even Richard Sherman was there - I can't wait until September 11!

[churros]

I'm starting to get excited too! Along with seeing the Tim Burton exhibition, we are also keen to see the Titanic exhibition - looks to be a busy weekend!

What day are you flying down Keith?

[churros]

The Titanic Exhibition requires you to book tickets by date and time. Has anyone got an itinerary for the weekend? I'd like to go to Tim Burton when others are going and want to book my tickets for Titanic now - although I know that ship has sailed!

Edit: Tim Burton is booked by time and date too - do we need to do something about this soon?

[churros]

I also noticed that ACMI is playing 'Beetlejuice' on Friday night 10/9 and "Corpse Bride" and "Beetlejuice" on Sunday 12/9. Tickets available online. Might consider Friday night as the boys haven't seen Beetlejuice.
