Swimmers may wear either wetsuits or regular swimsuits, and some choose neoprene accessories such as caps, gloves, or socks.

Set in the world introduced in Middlegame, Seasonal Fears, and Tidal Creatures, the story follows the far reaching consequences of Asphodel Baker’s alchemical breakthroughs, including the Impossible City raised from the ruins of Olympus. In a reality edging toward the nightmare she imagined, the descendants of that work enter a birthplace of discovery and dread to right old wrongs, while the question remains whether the new gods can overcome the evils of their maker. Attendance is free and open to everyone. Advance RSVP is recommended for important updates. The program features an audience Q&A and a public signing, and purchasing a copy of the featured book helps sustain the author series. Signed editions can be requested by ordering online or by phone and noting any signature or personalization in the order comments, with a call to the store recommended when ordering within 24 hours of the event.

Original tunes are welcome when they are easy to follow, keeping in mind this is a jam rather than an open mic. When the group is large, those not leading may be asked to sit in an outer circle. The jam is free, and attendees are encouraged to support the venue by purchasing beverages and tipping the bartender. Non-drinkers are welcome and can still show support with a tip. Buying the host a beer is considered good etiquette. Charts are allowed if they do not get in the way of others, though memorizing is encouraged. Dogs are welcome, and the gathering is open to those under 21. If a tune is not your speed, you can sit it out. Food is not served on site, but outside food is allowed and a food truck may be arranged when there is interest. Helpful resources are available, including a song of the week, playlists, and charts, and familiarity with the Nashville Number System can make following along easier.

For this appearance, Blossom sculpts live textures in Ableton Live, guiding winding improvisations toward a tranquil, hypnotic space, with the possibility of a guest dancer. 600 Salad Bowls centers the writing of Helena Rogers, letting each line be heard clearly as delivery slips between spoken and sung. Minimal, computer-built backdrops created with John Rogers and Eric Muhs provide a shimmering frame that contrasts with the fuller noise of her trio Student Nurse. Dreams Down Deep brings postmodern alternative rock founded by Seattle singer songwriter Randall Lorin Pape, drawing inspiration from Wim Wenders, Siouxsie Sioux, Jim Jarmusch, Nick Cave, Radiohead, Blonde Redhead, Bela Lugosi, and Bauhaus.
