Join us for the annual "After Dark" Bash! This year's program will captivate you like never before: Weird and wacky experiments, bubbling potions, and strange results will create an atmosphere you will not want to miss! Let the mad scientist emerge from within!

"After Dark" highlights include:
Myth or urban legend? Just call on mythbusting team Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman to put things to the test. Each week these special-effects experts take on three myths and use modern-day science to show you what's real and what's fiction on Discovery Channel's MythBusters. Join Adam and Jamie as they share bloopers, blunders, and offbeat stunts. Enjoy clips of trial and error from their popular weekly series, and see how these mythbusters shake (or break) things up.

Special appearance by Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel, the most accomplished, professional PC Gamer in history. No one has ever come close to the earnings, titles, and media coverage of Fatal1ty. His record of success speaks for itself. He presently reigns as the only five-time World Champion, winning each title in a different game, a feat never before accomplished. Play Quake 4 with Fatal1ty and witness how this pro shakes up the video game world!

Enjoy these and other popular activities, interactive games, and food and drinks. Pick up your wristband for entrance to the bash at the Registration Counter in North Upper Lobby, on Thursday, May 18, after 3 p.m.
