My Cine Capri memory comes from about ten years ago, when I was active in the
then-fledgling sport of "period fencing" within the SCA. 

A group of us from the Barony of Atenveldt and Brimstone College were invited
to perform a few bouts as part of a program of pre-movie entertainment
presented by local TV movie host Bill Rocz. This was in connection with the
local premiere of George Lucas and Ron Howard's film "Willow."

It was great fun. We fought, made some noise, then were escorted to primo seats
for the movie. I've done other movie promo volunteering for a number of Trek
films since then, but nowhere else was I treated so well.
