    Title Card: Afterparty Theme

    This year’s WCEU afterparty theme will be “The Cinema”. 
    While not everyone usually arrives at the afterparty in costume, some folks in the community typically go all in on the afterparty theme. The organisers encourage everyone attending to wear a costume or accessory that reflects some aspect of Italian Cinema.
