• 🟦4:04 PM — Doors Open [PAGE NOT FOUND]: Official exit from the default world. Leave your entanglements to fend for themselves and enter a world of light, sound, and imagination where you explore the question: In a self-sorting universe, what does it mean to receive no signal?

Good Hats Make Good Decisions…

 BRING:
A FANCY/BELOVED CUP
QUARTERS
OFFERING FOR THE NEON BITCH (no lights/sounds)
Each day of the event includes several “HATS” (immersive/imaginary roles) that participants can choose to pick up and wear for whatever amount of time they like. They are ALMOST legit jobs…almost…
Cyan Saturday HATS are as follows :
1. TECHNO REAPER
Demands the sacrifice of all devices and accepts no excuses. Compliant guests escape death or detention, all screens held hostage in the BABY BUCKET DEATH BUCKET until EXIT. REAPER can not speak except for predetermined phrases.
2. Existential toll booth Operator. Dispenses questions but not answers. People draw a card with a question (no keepsies) and do not have to tell toll booth operator unless they want to. Operator can add questions to deck.
3. ABYSMAL COFFEE ATTENDANT
Brews Black Coffee and fills cups based on an unrevealed assignment, not “customer” request.
4. NEON BITCH SHRINE KEEPER.
Maintains the shrine of the Neon Bitch, and a vow of silence. May choose to dispense gifts to patrons, but not consistently, and not on a by-request basis.
5 . OATH COLLECTOR
Collects signatures in guest book to uphold the Oath of the Neon Bitch.
6. DETOUR DRIVER
Directs/misdirects people, dispenses side quests at will, answers all questions with imaginary information (make something up and pretend that it’s true for a while) also upholds the value of X=F. (Explanation is Failure)
