We’re wrapping up 2024 by celebrating NYC’s trains and rails — subways, Metro-North, the Long Island Railroad, even the High Line. Live out the exhibitionist or voyeur fantasies of adding some flavor to your daily ride. Linger on the intimate gestures of swiping a MetroCard and cranking a turnstile — or just swing that emergency exit wide open to let someone in. Dress in a tunnel-ready jumpsuit or a commute outfit, or live your no-pants fantasy.
(If you’re already growing excited about getting held by a train dispatcher, take a momentary delay to signal in the #cruising channel on our Discord server.)
Before you transfer to another line of thinking, be sure to read our updated COVID policy below!!!
Volunteering is a great way to meet people, save money, and help make sure our events can continue to run.
If you’re a Lunar Voyager, you’re welcome to volunteer. Available shifts include setup, doors, safety monitoring, and teardown. Each shift will allow plenty of time to enjoy the party while enjoying half-price or FREE admission. We’ll train you! Details below.
If you’d like to join the team or have any questions, please reach out to volunteers@eutopia-rising.org before you buy a ticket. See you in the ring!
Details
Our parties are entirely volunteer-powered, so you’ll be key to making it all happen. As an extra incentive, we also offer our volunteers a code for 50% off a ticket for commitment to a 1 hour shift, and 100% off a ticket for a 2 hour or more commitment.
Our available volunteer shifts for this party are:
Load-in & Set-up: Arrive at our space in Lower Manhattan at 5pm on the day of the party to set up and decorate the space. You should be prepared to lift and carry ~30lbs, and you probably want comfortable clothes/shoes (don’t worry, there’s plenty of time to change). The Setup Lead will let you know what to do. (This is a 2-hour shift and qualifies for a fully comped ticket.)
Doors: You and a partner will check tickets and vaccine records/COVID tests at the entrance to the space. You will also ask folks in line to read the rules, and give them a brief orientation to the space. You will be provided a laptop and can easily sit for this shift, if you’d like. The Volunteer Lead will show you how check-in works. (one-hour shifts, starting at 7pm and 8pm)
Safety Monitor: With a partner, you will help attendees navigate the space and their interactions safely. Generally, this involves being available to answer questions, staying aware of what scenes are happening, and checking in with folks if something seems off. Strong visual and auditory acuity is required in this role. Whether or not you have prior experience, there is a mandatory meeting for all Safety Monitors with our Safety Lead at 7:30pm. There you will learn the ins and outs of the space, who your fellow staff are, and how you will work together. (one-hour shifts, starting at 9pm, 10pm, and 11pm)
Tear Down: When the party ends, we have 1 hour to clean up and go home. You will help us pack up our supplies and clean the space. As with load-in and set-up, you should be prepared to lift and carry ~30lbs, and you probably want comfortable clothes/shoes. The Tear Down lead will let you know what to do. As an extra incentive to stay late, a one-hour shift on teardown counts double! (one-hour shift, midnight-1am)
A no-holes-barred night of flirty-faux-fighting fun.
💪🤼✨💪🤼✨💪🤼✨💪🤼✨
Let’s get ready to rummmmmbbbbllllle!!!!
For this round of Eutopia Rising fun and games, Pinned, we’re bringing you the glitz and glamor of professional wrestling — and as always, you’re the main event! Start booking your favorite matchups: Tag teams? Two-on-ones? STEEL CAGE MATCH?! (Okay, well, maybe not that last one, but the possibilities are almost endless!)
Adorn yourself in the fun, flirty, fabulous wrestling outfit of your squared-circle dreams and undertake this night of raw energy, impactful human connection, and world-class ACTION! Think spandex, latex, leather, wild makeup, masks, armbands, tassels, maybe even a cape or two?! Whatever it takes for you to look and feel your sexy, spangly best — do it!
In addition to the sexy fun you know and love from previous Never Surrender parties, there’ll be a (GENTLE) takedown demo, arm wrestling circuit (fun, fast rounds!), and more.
Don’t be a heel — get your face (and the rest of you) to Pinned!
We are starting the year off with an ode to cybernetic society. Attach your best enhancements and prepare to deep dive into the web so we can all hack the planet together. Dress code is whatever the word cyberpunk means to you: whether a combo of 90s grunge and metallics, futuristic Blade Runner leather, or even full-on Ghost In The Shell robotics. Get creative with it! We hope to see at least one electric sheep.
