"Helvetica" screening

Three weeks from today (April 11), I'm going to a screening of Helvetica at MassArt. Is anyone else interested in coming along?

From the event description:
Helvetica will begin at 6pm with a reception in MassArt's Godine Gallery and continue at 7pm with a screening in the Pozen Center for Interrelated Media. After the film, join us for a Q&A with director Gary Huswit and designer Matthew Carter.

from the Helvetica website: "Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives." The Boston premier will be produced by Eventworks at MassArt on April 11.

Tickets are $10 ($11 online via PayPal), but the Eventworks blog says they're half-gone already and only holding a limited number at the door.
