Tickets will be 1500 yen (1600 yen all up including the meetup fee of 100yen) and I will pre-purchase them for people that RSVP 'YES' by 6pm Thursday, the 17th of July. Tickets on the day will be 1500yen, provided they aren't sold out (Tickets may be standing room only). Please keep in mind that pre-purchased tickets are NOT refundable once they are purchased and if you do not show, you will still be liable to pay for them. If you haven't attended one of our meetups before, please call me on 090-6020-9673 with your Cell phone such that we can have a chat prior to my purchasing tickets.

***Important Note***-
The cinema cannot hold pre-purchased tickets for latecomers at the information counter. I will be in the foyer on the floor of the screening until the scheduled screening time of the film and my phone will be turned off after this. Should you expect to be late, CALL ME WELL BEFORE the screening time and we can speak about what is to be done. If you have NOT called me by this stage, there is nothing I will be able to do to get your ticket to you. Please note that you will still liable to pay for the ticket if I have bought it for you.

***
The finishing time for the movie will be around 3.30pm or so and the plan is to head to a nearby drinking hole of sorts for a drink and chat after.

As always, if you are unsure whether or not you'll be able to attend, please RSVP 'No' with a comment stating this.

Movie Synopsis:
Who's the Top, a sadomasochistic musical comedy from the director of Paris is Burning, is about two women living together. We ask if their problem is sexual frustration or something else... Love is Love asks how exciting how the world would be if everyone was queer. The main character in Sugar in the Blood tries to get over rejection by looking for love in the park. All this and more in Girls' Shorts!
