Threadjack: the best date I've ever had in my life, so I have to relate this story - Digistar has a product demo animation that is very cool. One part of it is a giant mobius strip floating in space. The animation flies around it and when it makes the turns, you literally fall out of your seat. And there's other cool stuff too, like dolphins that turn into F-18s.
Anyway, I took a girl to a show and they did ordinary planetarium stuff. There were a group of kids there. It wasn't all that interesting to be perfectly honest. But being a geek, I chatted up the student who worked there and he showed me the computers and explained how everything worked and told me how cool the demo was. I managed to talk him into letting my girl and I stay afterwards and he played the demo and popped in a Sting CD.
Good lord, that was awesome. My dating life has been downhill ever since.
