Hello! If you’ve been a member of The Cultural Futurist for a while, this type of email is nothing new to you. If you’ve joined recently, welcome to the aesthetic renaissance. Tomorrow, we’ll be going for a fun little trip.
During my last salon, we discussed all things art and philosophy as we performed live theatre and esoteric poetry. We engaged in hardcore debates and forbidden improv during a sacred Art Imperium that kicked off the foundation for our era. Word on the streets is that people are still discussing this event, so we’re keeping the momentum up on high at The Cultural Futurist.
We’re doing Speeches and Spectacle.
Cultural Futurist Salon VIII - Speeches and Spectacle is an online event. We’ll hang out and recite our speeches, everyone on the lineup getting a 5-10 minute slot. Our orators will hold the floor for the first half of the event. After they’ve commanded the stage, we will enter Total Spectacle Hour. Anyone who wants to read a speech will be given the stage until we shut the entire ordeal down.
You’re welcome to attend if you don’t want to recite anything. Your presence is enough. There are no limits as to what you can read, (only time limits) and you’ll have the choice to keep your camera off if you have any privacy concerns. No Cultural Futurist Salons are ever recorded. This is a members-only event, and what happens at my salons stays at my salons.
Get ready for Speeches and Spectacle. It’s loud and it’s controversial, just like the best orators of our time.
Our Ultimate Spectacle starts on April 19th at 2 PM EST. It will go on until 4 PM EST. This is literally tomorrow, so put it on your calendar before it’s too late. You can attend by becoming a paid member of The Cultural Futurist, which will cause the Zoom link to be displayed for you under the cut. Membership also grants you entrance to all my future salons and book clubs while giving you access to my writing archives and private chat.
So! Join the frontlines and grab a front-row seat to the creative vanguard, read your speeches to the craziest audience you’ll ever encounter, or simply stop by to have a great time and meet like-minded people. Become a member of The Cultural Futurist and join the spectacle before it has ended like it never even began.
Don’t ask me if I’ll have any live recordings because the answer will always be the same: no. We’ve already been over this. Make the function or miss the regime change. You are free to show up late as long as you are intellectually appealing and don’t mind potentially missing your turn to recite your speech.
