Stygian

17/11/2025

Hey, pals. Stygian here! I'm incredibly worn out and run down. I am in the tail end of/beginning to recover from a top 3 lupus flare-up and between that and the end of one of my two busiest months of the year, it's been hell on my admin consistency. I'm sorry about that - I know y'all value having runway to plan for stuff and in that regard, I haven't held up my end of the promoter bargain lately. All that said, I'm very late on this month's SPiLL post given that it's tomorrow and I would love some chill, casual social time with my q***r community tomorrow - if you can share this, I'd appreciate it.

SPiLL is an unstructured third space / social with one goal: curate a space to do q***r joy (and sometimes pet cats) free from judgment. We provide the space, a few games, and sound; you provide stuff to do, be it solo, with others, or as chill parallel play!

Social runs 6 - 9PM (nice) on Tuesday 11/18 at West Art's second-floor Sanctuary. I host and curate a playlist featuring dance pop, disco and other upbeat/chill vibes at a level that allows folks to chat, share skills, or vibe!

-Not sure what you can bring? Here are some ideas: zine/collage supplies, relatively not-messy art stuff, kandi materials, games, knitting/felting/quilting, yoga mats, etc.

-Simply want to show up? Please do! Bring your Switch, your current crochet project, or word search/sudoku/crossword that's been giving you trouble.

We'll have hot water and a variety of teas on hand in addition to West Art's coffee bar and bar-bar. Guests are also welcome to bring snacks to share; please label ingredients for allergens.

18+, $5; contact me in advance if discounted admission is needed :)

I'll start warming up the floor when doors open @ 7, MENTALIA and NEBULA kick off an hour of drag 8-9, then we'll get back to dancing until 11!

RE/POSE is a little less disco and a little more darkroom: from COBRAH to Amanda Lepore to Brooke Candy to Gaga, RE/POSE is a celebration of all things q***r/ alt / slt / dance pop, a little house, a little electronica, and a sprinkle of ballroom.
Meet us at our new home: AN DROICHEAD on the second floor of Tellus 360 - That's to the left of the elevator/ stairs and through the doors. This is an accessible part of the building and we'll be de-gendering the restrooms in our neck of the venue for this event. Event uses fog machines.
