2. IDM/electronic dance show:

  yes it's CMU mid-semester break. but we're hoping a lot of the local
IDM/leftfield dance nerds
  will be coming out at this. it would also be great to have some cool,
fashionable people dressed
  in stripes and dots and pastels. makeup is optional.

4. if you like the modern folk movement that mixes authentic European
traditions with a bit of
    darkness, a bit of danceability, and a lot of youthful energy (e.g.
Scandinavian bands like
    Vartiina, Hedningarna, and Valravn), this is the exact Polish
equivalent of it.
