This week escalated quickly
Some weeks arrive quietly. This is not one of them.
We begin with Medea taking over the Gatsby for a full-album experience. By Tuesday, Pris has abandoned the Bus Stop for a pirate ship. Then Saturday arrives, Retro climbs on top of a giant Cock Rock, and words are no longer useful.
Somewhere between all of that, we still have photographs to take, Linden prizes to win, and ghosts waiting for their final invitations.
Welcome back to The Ofrenda Dispatch.
Last chance to send us your ghosts
This is the final week to submit stories before Whispers of Ofrenda opens to outsiders.
Send us your true paranormal encounters, strange family legends, local folklore, unexplained memories, or original ghost stories. Selected tales will become part of the self-guided audio walk hidden around the Abbey and Cemetery, complete with artwork, narration, and a written version to read.
Send your story to Terabyte Amour in world. Names may be included or kept private.
After this week, submissions close, the ghosts take their places, and we let the general public wander in completely unsupervised. This seems responsible.
Please don’t feed the goat.
Take the photo. Win the Lindens.
The September Photo Competition is still open, and yes, there are Linden prizes waiting at the end of it.
Take a photo anywhere on Ofrenda Nocturna and add it to the September Photo Challenge shared album on Primfeed using #OfrendaPhotoChallenge.
Landscapes, portraits, strange discoveries, dramatic lighting, quiet corners, and gloriously questionable decisions are all welcome. Enter as often as you like, but each person receives one entry in the prize drawing.
Photos must be submitted by September 30. Admiration is lovely. Lindens are spendable.
Apparently, the ghosts have witnesses
Across Primfeed and Discord, we asked one simple question: do you believe in the paranormal?
Thirty-six percent said they have experienced something themselves. Another 23 percent believe without proof, while 23 percent do not really believe but still love the stories.
Only 4 percent insisted there is always a rational explanation. We wish them the very best wandering around the Cemetery alone.
Medea Takes Over the Gatsby
Medea takes control of the Gatsby this Monday for an album played the way it was meant to be heard—from beginning to end.
Watch the group notices to discover this week's featured album.
Pris Is Rockin' the Boat—Literally
This Tuesday, Pris leaves the Bus Stop behind and welcomes you aboard the Pirate Ship for a yarr of a good time.
Dress as you will. Peg legs get extra rum. We have not checked whether this is medically advisable.
Retro's Pop-Up Makina Set
No words. Just frenzied dancing.
Retro is putting the decks somewhere completely sensible: on top of a giant Cock Rock. Expect ninety minutes of North East England and Spanish Makina, Happy Hardcore, euphoric melodies, hard kicks, and complete nonsense.
Down below: a boat full of muppets, dodgy dancing, and zero seriousness.
Wacky Weekender dress code: bananas, aliens, ridiculous outfits—the dafter, the better.
Afterneath Turns One
For one year, Afterneath has been descending into sound, shadow, and questionable underground decisions. On Saturday, September 26, we are celebrating with four guest DJs and an afternoon of Darkwave, Goth, Industrial, Alternative, and Electro.
12–1 PM
DJ Synth
1–2 PM
DJ NE0
2–3 PM
DJ Heidi
3–4 PM
DJ Katty
Come celebrate one year of Afterneath with us.
One year underground. Somehow, nobody has called for rescue.
Choose your level of chaos
Sit down for an album. Board a pirate ship. Dance beneath a DJ standing on a giant rock shaped like a cock. Photograph the evidence. Send us your ghosts.
Whatever you choose, there is something happening at Ofrenda this week. Try not to make us explain it to anyone respectable. 🌙
