At this time we are also not accepting College Students, unless they are members of the union a …

We want together a group of music loving, bike riding, artistically inclined, pseudo weird girls to have fun!

Break up into groups based on the film, that way you can see whatever you want. Afterwards, reconvene at a bar around the corner to chat. Plus more. Suggested meetups are for people who want to organize an actual meetup, not prom …
