Dario Sciola sent this "Go Ape!" poster for an
Ape-o-thon on Ottawa. The theater owner had an artist take a hi-res
image of the "Go Ape!" poster and edit it to include the theater logo
and showing dates. That high-res result is available for
downloading—note that it's a 6MB file, so it'll take a while to download,
but the resulting image is suitable for poster-size printing, if you know a
local printer capable of printing such an image. Thanks Dario (and to the
theater owner who gave him permission to share the file)!
