Soirée #1

SATURDAY, JUNE 13th, 2020 - please join us for a 10 person or under soirée at The Cathedral in Brooklyn, NY. Begins at 7pm

The FAQs

• If you haven’t ever tested positive for COVID-19, you’re welcome!
• We will be following all of NY State’s pertinent regulations, including Executive Order 202.33, and therefore the DoH’s Guidance for Cleaning and Disinfecting
• Space will be fully sanitized by a professional cleaning service and spacious enough to promote comfortable distances
• We are going to be doing over the top stuff to ensure peoples’ comfort, health, and safety

WHAT DO

This is an effort to say fuck you lockdown while also being clean, festive, and social! By jamming out with impromptu music-making sessions and such. Good times to be had by all.

• WE WILL HAVE A KEG OF BEER!!

• Bring your musical instrument please – acoustic/analog only por favor

• Bring POT! We will have INDIVIDUAL VOLCANO BAGS FOR EACH GUEST - A CLEAN, HEALTHY WAY TO GET STONED LIKE A FOX

• A friendly crowd of cool people who like music and are chill!

• Don’t even think about bringing any money it won’t be accepted!

We’re Cool Because We Are Friends

Let’s be real about music for a minute: it’s nothing without friendship.

Friends transmit music between one another by virtue of our embedded human desire to share and cultivate. Without it, music has little distance to travel and will die the same death any stagnant entity would endure due to entropy.

I want to put on this event in order to counteract the very disturbing effect lockdown has had on music, those who practice it, and those who love it.

Activities

• Free improvisation musical chairs!
• Sonic Pictionary!
• Intimate roundtable discussion about what the hell we can do to save music from certain destruction

Cleanliness

This shit will be done clean. The hope is that by doing things right, we don’t need people feeling the need to wear facemasks and other anti-social items. We all look super cool in our Mad Max cosplay outfits, sure, but we are way more fun to be around when our facial expressions are not being obscured by a (admit it) filthy rag strewn across your lips and nose.

So we will be doing the following things:

• Individually-labeled disposable cupware
• Enough seating to promote comfortable, respectfully-distant socializing
• Individual volcano bags for each stoner who attends

Please do suggest other things we can be doing to cultivate a friendly and clean atmosphere!

Boring Details

Where

The Cathedral is on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, NY. Contact Andrew for specific building and apartment number.

Parking

Parking is super easy. Easy like a fox! If you are driving to the soirée, you should be able to park right outside.

Subway

The Cathedral is very conveniently located on the 2, 3, 4, 5, and S (Franklin-Prospect Park) lines. All lines are all operating normally however they are now shutting the lines down for “cleaning” at 1AM. Please plan accordingly! We are starting things a little early in the evening in order to accommodate.

Recording

We may do a little bit of recording during the proceeds of the evening. This is mainly so that we can show off how we are cool for getting together and being humans. We will totally not capture you on audio or video unless you are comfy with it.
