About the Event

Welcome to a soft landing and a high-vibe afternoon hang built as a safe space for new and old creatives, femme baddies, awesome allies, and exhausted aunties.

Whether you want to work on a cozy craft project, trade treasures at the trinket table, grab a matcha, or just lounge while listening to the vinyl dj, this space is for you. There is no pressure, no performance, and no strict expectations: just pure creative freedom, warm energy, and good company.

What to Expect

JUST ANNOUNCED: FIX YOUR FACE with Nixon: Cream makeup workshop for drag, cosplay, and all your Halloween fantasies. 3:30-5pm. Visit this post for more info. FAQ for the workshop here. There are 15 spots to sit at the table, reserved for those who are following along and doing their makeup. Show up early to claim your seat. Standing space for note takers.

Low-Pressure Craft & Art Space: Bring whatever personal project you are working on to sketch, stitch, collage, or doodle. We will have some art and collage supplies to share.

Still Life: A weird and wonderful still life area curated by Nerd Herder Arts (Katie). Use your imagination: sketch, paint, photograph, or write about how the piece makes you feel!

Live Vinyl DJ: Analog sounds including neosoul, funk, downtempo, chill hip hop, and more... DJ Skoosha (Sasha) is coming out of retirement after a decade (please don't judge my mixing skills 🫣)

Cornerstone Vendor: Bits & Keys creates wearable pieces of art from found items and upcycled goods. Her pieces are nerdy, whimsical, and creepy, often all at once.

Trinket Swap & Tickle Trunk: Leave a trinket, take a trinket, and adorn yourself for the event. Leave a donation that you see fit!

Local Goodz Raffle: Enter to win awesome local prize bundles like handmade caramels, professional hair products, jewellery, art, and more.

More surprises!

CASH IS KING: Bring cash for vendors, raffle, and donations.
