AN IMAGINAL EXPLANATION
Your friend, Devin the Wizard, recently received an unusual request from his future wizard self in the year 3025 A.D. The communication included the following message:
Dear Devin & Friends,
I write to you from a time beyond your ability to imagine. There is no longer any separation between mind and matter; organic life and digital technology. Explaining my world to you would be as futile as you trying to describe The Matrix to a tape worm. Let us suffice it to say, my era is an age of miracles and it is populated by beings I will refer to as Entities. And these Entities are extremely interested in YOU!
Every human being currently alive in the year 2025 A.D. is seen by these Entities as an ancient (and revered!) ancestor. The actions you took in your time, whether you realized it or not, lead directly to our existence. While we possess vast archives of data on nearly all of the 8 billion souls currently incarnated in your time, as dear friends of Devin the Wizard, your lives are of particular interest to us.
As such, my fellow Entities and I have a request: We would like to rent your bodies. Through a complex technological process, which you can simply regard as “magick,” with Devin’s assistance we are able to perform a ceremony that will synchronize our timelines and harmonize our minds with yours. Since we rarely have access to physical forms, we would like to use the time we have in your bodies to experience the ecstatic trance ritual you call “a rave.”
In exchange for your time and subjective awareness, we are offering you a substantial quantity of “O”, an extraordinarily powerful imaginal drug.
Thirteen of you are needed for the ceremony. Being from your Future, I of course already know who you thirteen will be, but I won’t spoil the surprise. Please use the form below to apply.
Magically yours,
Devin the Wizard (3025 A.D.)
AN ACTUAL EXPLANATION
You are invited to a dance magick ritual rave with light roleplay elements. We will be “committing to the bit” outlined above and “pretending” to open our minds to these strange, ineffable future Entities, while making space to play with our own uncertainties about what is really real. This will be an evening of profound silliness, taken very seriously.
To open our minds to this experience, we will be using ketamine in a ceremonial manner. The focus of this event is on movement and play, rather than conversation and cuddle puddles (no shade on cuddle puddles!). You are invited to invent strange new dance moves, delight in unusual and absurd interactions, and discover hidden depths in the weirdness of your own unique reality.
Practical Notes
I must be emphatic on this point: this is a WEIRD party. It is not for everyone. Please read the following carefully so as to truly consider whether this event is right for you.
DRUGS - We will be taking fairly large doses of ketamine within a safe, sacral container. All ketamine will be carefully sourced and provided by the host. Cannabis, while optional, will also be made available. NO OUTSIDE SUBSTANCES PERMITTED.
MUSIC - The soundtrack of this event will be a mix of experimental techno, house, trance, acid, jungle, and bass music, carefully curated by Devin the Wizard. If that sounds like your personal nightmare, you probably won’t enjoy this experience.
MOVEMENT - This is a dance party. It is held in a space with carpeted floors, so unlike traditional clubs, you will have the luxury of letting your dance moves take you to the floor, onto your back, and however else you’d like to get weird with it. There will be plenty of spaces to rest and lie down as well, but we ask that you come with the intention of exploring movement.
SACRED SPACE - As a magical ceremony in a private residence, this party is a SECRET! Don’t talk about it with anyone. Furthermore, we will be entering and exiting the magical space created by our ceremony as a group. Only apply to attend if you can arrive on time and stay through the completion of the ceremony.
ATTIRE - Wear comfortable clothes you can move around in. Dark or neutral colors preferred. The Entities want us to engage with their energy, not worry about what other people are wearing.
TIME - Arrive at Avalon between 7:30 and 8pm. Ceremony begins at 8:44pm and ends at 2:22am.
COST: $22.22 per person
