Months ago, we were longingly imagining what our first reecounter with L.A. would be like. Now that California’s full-blown reopening on June 15 looms ever closer, we instead find ourselves scrambling to try to do all the things. So comedian Allison Goldberg has a simple answer to what you should do first: everything.
And that’s exactly what this outdoor event on the state’s reopening day will feature: comedy, music and dance—as you may expect from a live event—along with unexpected inclusions like live painting, a personal haiku that’s been written just for you and a human scavenger hunt. But—cue our infomercial voice—that’s not all! There’s breathwork, juggling, a (consensual) kissing both and fire, possibly (hopefully not tied to any of those other activities, except for juggling maybe because that would be pretty rad). Oh, and there’ll be a celebration of every missed holiday and birthday. Every. Single. One.
The organizers ask that only fully vaccinated people attend, though they won’t actually be verifying anything (“We don't know how to check and it feels very dystopian to do so”). Look out for the location to be announced the day before.
