First Rule of Celluloid Social Club: You must come to Celluloid Social Club.
1) It's a blast. The best way to celebrate Hump-day in the middle of the month.
2) The most consistently good-looking gathering of people (hello, singletons!) in Vancity. Everybody is also really ... friendly.
3) How else are you going to see the remarkable array of film talent this city has to offer?! Support it, yo.
If you've already violated the First Rule of Celluloid Social Club, then you can easily remedy that situation tonight. Even more awesome is that you can enter to win you and a friend a free pass ...
Which is great, because then if you win won't feel any guilt about spending cash on a tasty beverage instead. Even if you don't win you still should come and hang out with all the rest of the cool kids.
Contest closes at 7:00 pm April 14. Give me a good reason why you should win (via the comments section, naturally) and they're yours. It's short notice, sure, but what's that thing about a gift horse and a mouth? Winners will be contacted via email.
