The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

A celebration of the Queen of Cool and the music and fashion of London in the 80s. Tease up your hair, fluff up those shoulder pads, and join filmmaker/DJ Donal Mosher for a night of Sade and 80s artists, followed by the film Absolute Beginners featuring Sade, David Bowie, and other icons of the era. Prospector Records will sell records from 6:30 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.

ON SCREEN: Absolute Beginners

1986. Directed by Julien Temple. Runtime: 1 hour 48 minutes. Rated PG-13.

Love, music, fashion, and racial tension collide in this cult musical favorite. With performances by Sade, David Bowie, and other Brit luminaries, Absolute Beginners is a neon 1980s vision of underground London in the 1950s — a place where the dreams of young lovers and artists face the bigotry and corruption of the pop industry.
