SAE membership has cost the same amount since 1995.
Although we hate to raise prices, an organization-wide decision was made because we do have costs to cover. So...
Since July 15, all memberships have gone up by $10.
The above prices are for year-long memberships to SAE. If you're not sure what a membership entails, or if it's worth it, email, call or stop by!

"El Aura" 2005. Directed by Fabián Bielinsky. In neo-noir fashion "El Aura" narrates in the first person the hallucinating voyage of Espinoza, a quiet, cynical taxidermist, who suffers epilepsy attacks, and is obsessed with committing the perfect crime. He claims that the cops are too stupid to find out about it when it's well executed, and that the robbers are too stupid to execute it the right way; and that he could do it himself relying on his photographic memory and his strategic planning skills.

We ask that you RSVP to reserve your spot at an event and so that we know how many people to expect.

However, some events require a minimum number of people, therefore it is important to let us know that you plan to attend so we do not cancel it due to perceived lack of interest!
