@Lucy Alice who’s bringing the acid
@wat 500 internets to whoever chose Alice!
@Bacchanal The event is open to alumni and the gates to campus will be open. Although it advertises CUID only, non CUID holders will be able to access campus.
@Alum Whats the deal with the concert? can you get onto campus with a columbia ID or do you actually need to pay the $25 to columbia arts for a ticket if you’re no longer a student
@Bacchanal Says: The last word we received is that the event will NOT be CUID only anymore. This may be subject to change though, so we will keep you updated. Check our website and facebook event for updates.

@But Even if it IS CUID only, an alum library card will do, right?
@Or you could grow up!
@what? Who the fuck would want to do that?
@another alum your website seems to claim that it is CUID only…
@holy crap super excited for 4/20. Alice!!!!
also is the concert open to the public or just CUID peeps?

@Yay! Thank you, Bacchanal, thank you! Possibly the only campus event that actually brings everyone at Columbia together as a community.
Please have as few rules as possible for CTF, I want to see people get creative. =)
@A brief history On 420 ’06, bacchanal screened half baked
’07 Harold and kumar
’08 planet earth (jungles, deep sea, caves)
’09 Alice in Wonderland
Is this not a beautiful tradition?
@alice and wonderland?!?!
bacchanal, i love you
@seconded are they showing it outside?
@Bacchanal Says: Yes, unless Mother Nature intervenes in the negative, the film will be shown on a large screen on the steps!
@bacchanal is my hot hot sex.
@yesssss CAPTURE THE FLAG!
@that's the point. Bacchanal picks these screenings with a wink and a smile every year. Last year on 4/20 they screened Planet Earth.
@on 4/20 they're screening Alice in Wonderland? Um.. that’s perfect. Can’t wait for the stoner hordes.
