There is a nice outdoor pool at Chunyuan Xiaoqu (West side of town, near Wicker Basket). However, they've got a big construction project nearby, and I'm not sure how that affects the pool.
The other outdoor one is at Jinkang Yuan Xiaoqu in the north.
Something Colin left out: if the online payment methods don't suit you, you can drop by the shop (or track him down) and buy credits with cash. Then you can sign on to green kunming and enter the password he gives you
Unfortunately, I think you've missed both. Both places are still worth checking out though.
The Nine Dragon Waterfall is the biggest attraction in Luoping after the rape flowers, but it shouldn't be crowded, and it's a really nice day trip on a bike.
They're probably planting the terraces in Yuanyang now. Unless you're a really hardcore biker, you might want to do this area by car. I recommend going further in to Ailaoshan and checking out the pristine cloud forests. There is one hostel in old Yuanyang, I believe it's called something like "Backpacker Guest House" or something. There's a Hong Konger there by the name of Tim who can tell you where all the market days and cool spots are, as well as help arrange cars.
That sounds like a plan. Showing at the museum will be a way to share with the people who helped make that happen.
Contact me when you have a chance (x i e f e i l a g a (at) g m a i l (dot) c o m), and we'll set up a screening at Yuansheng Theater. They can play DVD's, and have two projectors, one in the theater and one in the courtyard, when the weather is nice.
In terms of protecting the film, we'll just have to keep our eyes out for cameras.

@Yuantongsi: That may have just been a local regulation. Beijing's public toilets have been free for a while, but I remember paying for them in Shanghai well into the 2000s.
As for tobacco advertising, take a closer look. You can't have ads for cigarette brands. Hongta and Hongyun get around that by advertising their mother companies, which are branded as finance companies. It's debatable how well that follows the spirit of the law, but it's right down to the letter of it.
@bluegrass14: second floor of the new bird and flower market development (zhengyifang/qianwangjie)? I know that Rocco sold the place to a local wine dealer a while ago, but haven't followed it since.
An exciting new gallery space built from an old factory warehouse in the Paoluda Creative Industry Park. Looking forward to seeing what they'll do with it.

发布者@Yuantongsi: is there a national law on free public toilets? That's the first I heard of it.
Beijing's toilets got a big revamp and went free in the run-up to the Olympics. I always figured it was a cosmetic thing for all the expected visitors
