NIGHT 30 OF 31
Aliens
A visiting party. The mountain is the Earth in the joke. Everyone is both host and alien.
ACCESSORIES
A visor. A sticker star. Gloves if your hands are cold, which is also the costume.
DECORATIONS
A saucer of painted board over the yard, low enough to be a roof not a spacecraft. Green lamps.
ATMOSPHERE
A visiting party. The mountain is the Earth in the joke. Everyone is both host and alien.
FOOD
Food on sticks, called probes, which is the only joke the stall is allowed.
DRINK
Green citrus. It is lime. The sign admits it in small type.
MUSIC
A waver and a dance beat. Odd, then familiar.
ACTIVITIES
Exchange a star sticker with someone and invent why you came. One sentence. Then dance.
THE PARTY
Under the saucer roof. The biggest strange night before the last night.
AFTER DARK
Antennae off. Green lamps stay. People look like guests again.
OF THIS OCTOBER
Hattie says she came for the soup and will not improve the line. Of this October.
EVENTS
- One-sentence arrival
- Sticker exchange
- Dance under the saucer
A FRAME, IF YOU WANT ONE
You in a green and silver fest coat under a low painted saucer roof, green lamps, mountain night, playful, no text.
STALL
Forgiven antennae
Soft springs on a band. Silly, light, easy to pocket when you are done.
