October 30- November 2nd: 9pm –the witching hour
Location: the Vortex Butterfly Bar – the Pony Shed.

The Psychopomp* is IN.
Ask a question. Roll the dice. The answer may arrive in the form of a song, a shift, a letter from the otherworlds, or some other form entirely.
There are many possible outcomes.
Even the Psychopomp cannot predict which will happen.
The outcome depends on you, your question,
and of course, the dice.

Stay for 5 minutes, or for as long as you want. Come and go as you wish.
