Question
What should I wear for the welcome party? Where can I park at Pretzel Bell?

Pretzel Bell is a pretty casual bar, so really whatever you're comfortable in! Elliott will be wearing jeans and a sport coat, and Michele will be wearing a cute dress and jean jacket, for context. There is no specific parking for the Pretzel Bell, but street parking is free after 6pm in Ann Arbor, and there are parking garages close by that are inexpensive!
