thanks everyone!! Your support is much appreciated, we're doing our best to make it as good if not better then last year. There is usually a really good turn out (although there was no neons last year :( so lets change that! ) and im planing on having an after party at my apartment so if anyone is traveling a long distance, i can probably set you up with a place to stay.

All in all, its gonna be a great time, and umass is always a interesting place to visit haha
