NOTE: There is a maximum of 100 people. Please be early if you have not paid in advance.

This is a joint event with the foreign film club meetup group. Don’t worry; it is a foreign movie from England. That means it will be in English (not our English, the funny accent kind). It will also have English subtitles for those who need it. It will be hosted at Iguana lounge with a projector and sound system.

We will be watching Amazing Grace (UK, 2006). Based on actual events, this historical drama tells a story of William Wilberforce an 18th-century politician who fought for the abolition of slavery. It’s a very well made movie and with over 8,500 votes on IMDb getting almost an 8 rating it has to be good.

When: Sat, Jan, 30th
Time: 5pm-9pm
Location: Club Iguana (upstairs)
Length: 117min
Max People: 100
Cost: $15 at the door.
What to wear: I’ll leave this up to you, but it is a salsa club at 10PM

Price Includes:
- A seat to watch the movie
- 1 free drink (mojito, margarita, wine, beer, soft drink, etc..) I recommend the coconut mojito! Don’t forget to tip kindly to barman/barwoman :)
- Relaxing and meeting other people.
- Pay in advance and get a DVD movie
- FREE Admission to Salsa party unless there is a live band, then it's only $5 normally $10 – I will be there dancing, so if you want to learn a few steps, feel free to ask and I will teach you (my dancing videos)

    This was my first meetup with this group. The organizers greeted everyone.The group was friendly. The coconut mojito was good. I didn't get to stay for the Salsa dancing but I enjoyed myself.

    •  Well organized, started on time -- and the movie was great. Respectful audience -- very little talking once the movie started. I'll come again!

       I was my first meet-up with this group. I liked it. Not much into the talk after the movie, was looking forward to dancing right after the movie so the gaps where a little too long for me. I would do it again though. Thanks, Leyla 
    •  This was my first attendance and I really think it is a great idea to bring people with the same interest together. I would like to be updated to future events. Thanks 
    •  Great idea for a meetup. I liked chatting with people and the free drink was a nice perk. The dvd selection was not great-I didn't end up taking one. Everything else was great, tho.
