Would be nice if something like this happened again, an epicenter that embodies ideals like danger, attitude, irreverence, and decadence, that causes a seismic shift in the music industry,

[@hannahfrank3]

Would love a screening in Pittsburgh, PA! I run a movie club here and could try to organize something if there's interest. Thanks!
