Getting in

Pro tips
Check your coat for $3 upstairs instead of the $8 downstairs line. It gets crowded quickly, so this will save you time and money.
Who'll Be There
Predominantly individuals in their 20s to early 30s, likely to be fans of the emo and punk scenes. Expect a mix of alternative subcultures, including those who enjoy nostalgic music from the early 2000s, along with a casual, laid-back crowd who appreciates a fun night out.
Part II · The feel
The details organizers don't always put in the description — pulled from the room, the crowd, and what people remember afterward.
Loud. Conversation between songs only — plan around that.
Shines with 6+. Bring the crew.
