SUMMARY:Known Mysteries | Play-through + Q&A
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to a unique and interactive opportunity to do a partial playthrough and Q&A of Known Mysteries. The first Solar Server solar-powered indie game. This event will be hosted by Kara Stone (creator of Solar Server and Known Mysteries visiting all the way from Calgary) and PARTYGIRL (voice of Sorrow\, lead). \n\n\n\nTrailer available here! \n\n\n\nKnown Mysteries is a lo-fi climate fable about the desire to escape Earth. A deduction game set in a near-future Canada held captive by massive oil companies. The player guides Sorrow through the mysteries she uncovers upon her return to her hometown after the death of her mothers. \n\n\n\nSolar Server is an autonomous solar powered web server run from Kara Stone’s apartment balcony in Calgary\, Alberta\, Canada. It will host a series of videogames designed to be low-carbon and have environmental themes in the games. Read articles about Solar Server in The Guardian\, Tech Radar\, and CNET. \n\n\n\nKara Stone is an artist and scholar making work about psychosocial disability\, sexuality\, and the environment. She works in different media but most often in interactive art and experimental videogames. Her artwork has been featured in The Atlantic\, Wired\, and VICE\, and exhibited at Athens Digital Art Festival in Greece\, Vector Game Art Festival in Toronto\, Canada and a solo exhibition at Babycastles in New York City\, USA. She is a member of the Different Games Collective\, a horizontal organization dedicated to expanding the culture and industry of games. \n\n\n\nEvent Agenda:\n\n\n\n6:45pm arrive \n\n\n\n7:00 pm live playthrough* \n\n\n\n8:00pm Q&A \n\n\n\n8:45pm short 15min musical performance by PARTYGIRL \n\n\n\n9pm-9:30pm mingle and wrap-up \n\n\n\n* The game is currently free to play online (climate permitting) and while we will do our best to avoid spoliers we encourage you to play it ahead of the event. There are multiple endings to the game so each combination of choices throughout the playthrough has an impact on what ending you trigger. \n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE:\n\n\n\nThis is a PWYC event. Please select the most accessible tier for you! We will be accepting cash donations at the event as well. If you are unable to make a financial contribution we encourage you select the “cash/free” tier and simply attend as a guest\, inquire about an exchange\, or take photos/write a little review. All money will go to venue + project. \n\n\n\nStreet parking only!

SUMMARY:Queen and Queer Ottawa
DESCRIPTION:Hey Queens of Ottawa 🌈🌈 \n\n\n\nAfter the HUGE success of our first edition\, and due to popular demand\, we’re coming back stronger — and this time in a whole new space! \n\n\n\nWARNING: BIG PARTY AHEAD!! As you know\, at Queen & Queer\, we love to do things BIG. So\, exceptionally\, we’ve booked the entire building just for you!  \n\n\n\nWhat to expect?  \n\n\n\n2 rooms and 2 dancefloors  \n\n\n\nThat means: 2 times more energy\, 2 times more fun\, 2 times more DJs… and 2 times more queerness! \n\n\n\nON THE LINEUP 🔉 \n\n\n\nMain room: House and Dance  \n\n\n\nSecond room: Latino\, Afro and Urban beats \n\n\n\nYou got it… we’re super excited to bring the Queen & Queer vibe back to your city! 😍 \n\n\n\nTickets sold out super fast the first time\, so if you missed our first party — hurry up! \n\n\n\n Let’s go les lesboqueer! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ We’re counting on you to OCCUPY THE SPACE! \n\n\n\nWHO ARE WE? \n\n\n\nFor those who don’t know us yet\, QUEEN & QUEER is the story of two friends who decided in 2021 to create Dance Parties for LGBTQ2SIA+ women in Montreal… all in a safe and welcoming space. Today\, QUEEN & QUEER has become the largest Lesbo-Queer party on the Montreal scene\, attracting a growing community. After Sherbrooke and Quebec City\, we’ve chosen Ottawa as our next destination\, and we can’t wait to meet you again! \n\n\n\nOUR MISSION \n\n\n\nBeyond creating festive and safe spaces for the Lesbo-Queer community and their allies\, our mission is to highlight the talent of female artists\, whether they’re DJs\, dancers\, or from the circus arts community. \n\n\n\nMUSIC IS THE ANSWER \n\n\n\nQUEEN & QUEER parties are safe spaces prioritizing LGBTQ2SIA+ women\, non-binary people\, and trans folks. Allies are welcome too! We have a zero-tolerance policy for any form of discrimination: homophobia\, sexism\, transphobia\, racism\, or harassment have no place at our events.
