What to expect
Expect a charged, committed crowd. Arriving on the early side buys you the good spots. Energy is the product. Pace yourself; the peak comes later than you think.
The essentials
Pricing is moderate, and the event runs Sat 17:00. You'll find it at Living Arts Centre Auditorium — the surrounding blocks carry the same energy, so the night doesn't have to end at one address.
