Default IT Nerds: Anyone else going to the Iron Man 3 3D private screening tomorrow AM?

It was an invite-only thing, but just wondering if anyone else from here is going...

Who's putting it on? I'm going to the Star Trek one on May 17 being done by Mainland, but never heard about anything for Iron Man 3

Seeing a blockbuster movie for free on release day during work hours? I'll sit through a 30 minute sales pitch for that anyday

If it was CDW, I am surprised I didn't get an invite. I guess they don't value my limited business!

Yes it was from CDW, and I have no qualms about sitting through a 30 minute thing about Cisco buying Meraki and CDW selling their hardware in order to see Iron Man 3 in 3D for free.

Edit: Also, free breakfast. They already had me at free breakfast. Suckers!

ditto, I'm a bit surprised I didn't get an invitation, especially with what I spent at year's end last year.

Huh. I thought I was late to this thread but I guess not.

I saw it last night. AMAZING movie. If you have the option to go, and you don't go, you might be crazy.

Hmm, I'm not sure what the threshold is, but we've spent about sixty grand with them between December and now.

I only use them for a few specific things, as they are not the cheapest option most of the time but they do have a really wide range of products so they always have what I need.

From my collegues that went, I heard it was in the old IMAX @ Eau Claire? I thought that theatre was torn down! I'm surprised it still exists!

As for Star Trek, it seems like every IT company is doing that at various theatres. Cisco/Telus, Mainland, Greycon, etc.

Citrix did The last Batman Movie at Eau Claire also. Its probably because its the cheapest to rent out.

Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Just.....meh.

In other news, CDW sent me a round tin of cookies for Christmas a few years ago. They were delicious!
