From DJ Xero:
Please join me as I present TRΛNS DΛNS: n̷o̷n̷CONVENTIONa̷l̷
Spinning a mix of pop, edm, retro classics, pan-alternative, nerdy favorites, & so much more!
In honor of everything Arisia and its community does to support, inform, and uplift its LGBTQIAA+ members, TRΛNS DΛNS will be raising funds for Boston Alliance of LGBTQ+ Youth (BAGLY), a youth-led, adult-supported organization committed to social justice, and creating, sustaining and advocating for programs, policies and services for the LGBTQ+ youth community.
Learn more at bagly.org.
A link to make donations for the event will be found during the event at bit.ly/TransDansArisia
The dance will run from 10pm until 2am. There is also a matching channel for chatting during the dance, #djxero-trλns-dλns-stream-chat under "Streaming".
On the Gaming Front
Cookie Clicker (running from 6 to 7pm this evening) is a game about making an absurd amount of cookies. To help you in this endeavor, you will recruit a wide variety of helpful cookie makers, like friendly Grandmas, Farms, Factories, and otherworldly Portals. You’ll start a new game in our just-for-fun tournament. How many cookies can you make in one hour? We’ll play online at https://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/ where it’s free.

There will be more light Jackbox Games this evening! Go to jackbox.tv to play along. There are two separate sessions, each with their own Zoom, one from 7-9pm, and another from 11pm-midnight.
Art Show
Don't forget -- there will be another chance to meet and chat with the Artists of Arisia from 6-7:30pm this evening. Tonight's guests include I.S. Kallick, Erica Morton, Kendra Tornheim, Julia Burns Lieberman, and Anne Nydam (tentative.) Come say hi!
