Once through Magazine Gate the Santas will make their way up Magazine Street, across Butcher Street and onto Upper Magazine Street where they can access the walls at three designated entrances. One ramp will also be available at Palace Street/Upper Magazine Street.

On the walls the Santas will follow a clockwise route. Street entertainers and Santas Helpers will be positioned around the walls giving out small treats to children. Nambarrie will also be at the Millennium Forum and Guildhall Square to supply a “wee cup of tea”.

Participants can leave the walls at any time from one of the exits - Stewards will be available to provide assistance.

Silane (Weirdo methane) [Molecule of the Day]

A lot of science-fiction writers have spent a lot of time and energy hypothesizing silicon-based life. This isn’t completely insane - if you go down a column of the periodic table, stuff tends to be the same. Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine all share properties, and so do carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead. Some properties.

Dec 1, 2007: ComedySportz at DSI Comedy Theater

Finally, a fun, fast-paced comedy show that's great for the whole
family. It's ComedySportz, improv comedy played as a sport in cities
around the globe by members of the World Comedy League. Two teams
battle for laughs and points as they make up scenes, games and songs
on the spot. The audience votes for the winners and a referee calls
the fouls.

ComedySportz is:
• Live!
• Interactive
• Hilarious
• Clean
• Fast-paced, positive and fun. Guaranteed!

It's the only entertainment that's funny enough for bachelor parties
and clean enough for your church group. See ComedySportz every
Saturday, 7:30PM at the DSI Comedy Theater. Call our Box Office for
information about Special Packages, Corporate Shows and Birthday
Parties.

EVERY SATURDAY @ 7:30PM
TICKETS: $12, $10 students
BOX OFFICE: 919-338-8150

Dec 1, 2007: ComedySportz 4 Kidz! at DSI Comedy Theater

It's ComedySportz 4 Kidz. We focus the games and suggestions on the
12-and-under crowd; Boys and Girls, Ages 4 and up. We use LOTS of
audience volunteers and have a great time. ComedySportz 4 Kidz is
PERFECT for birthday parties, sports team events, or any kid
get-together you can think of. Adults will have fun, too. Guaranteed.
It's the perfect way to entertain one to 84 kids on a Saturday
afternoon.

The ComedySportz 4 Kidz show runs the same length as our regular
ComedySportz show, without a halftime, but afterwards players mingle
with the fans. Don't worry – kids are still more than welcome at our
regular ComedySportz shows, but this one is all about them.

EVERY SATURDAY @ 5:00PM
TICKETS: $10, $8 for the kidz, $5 kindergarten/toddlers
