Really liking Contra so far. Always looking for cool things going on in the City and this makes it way easier to find events I’d actually want to go to. Love that it’s curated and invite only too, so it doesn’t feel cluttered with a million random events. Super clean app and excited to see it grow.

### 5/5 — Actually good events

Good app. Instead of event apps that spam feels more like curated / HBO for events
