Start time: 7:10 PM
- Event review:
- The Young Ones (movie screening) – Atrocious movie and acting, cool setting; we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves despite limited political commentary (other than the dog-eat-dog, back-stabbing mentality that capitalism breeds)
- No War in Iran Protest (at the capitol) – 10 person turn-out (1 new person); positive responses from passersby overall; a few hecklers (one potential neo-Nazi…); more poster board available for future events
- Upcoming January event: No Permission Needed movie screening and discussion about Nebraska this Friday 1/31 7-10 pm (posted)
- Love Your Library (drafted – need to post)
