Attention all weirdos, freaks, geeks, goths, nerds, rennies, steampunks, and every gloriously oddball spirit roaming the multiverse! You’re cordially invited to the grand Eccentrics Meet & Greet at Wonderplace Alpha’s Saloon, happening Friday afternoon This isn’t just some run-of-the-mill gathering—it’s a full-on celebration of the unconventional, a place where the strange, the quirky, and the downright fantastical collide in the best possible way. Picture this: a cozy saloon filled with the clink of glasses, the hum of laughter, and a crowd of folks who proudly live outside the norm. Whether you’re decked out in Victorian gears and goggles, wielding a replica lightsaber, or just vibing to your own cosmic frequency, this is your spot to unwind and connect. (Okay, that last bit sounded like AI. Come dressed however you want, is the main thing.)
We’re talking a laid-back hangout with zero pressure—just pure, unfiltered fun. Sip on a frothy brew, trade stories of your latest D&D campaign, or debate the finer points of Klingon grammar. As the great Joss Whedon once said, ‘The thing about a hero, is even when it doesn’t look like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, he’s going to keep digging, he’s going to keep trying to do right and make up for what’s gone before, just because that’s who he is.’ Well, here at Wonderplace Alpha, we’re all heroes of our own weird tales, and this Friday, we’re digging into good times together.
No need to hide your quirks—bring ‘em out in full force! Corsets and top hats? Check. Pocket protectors stuffed with pens? Absolutely. A cape you swear isn’t a costume but a lifestyle? We salute you. To quote the legendary Neil Gaiman, ‘Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.’ So come slay your social dragons with us! Swap tips on soldering steampunk gadgets, geek out over the latest sci-fi drops, or just revel in the fact that you’ve found your people.
This Friday afternoon at the Saloon, it’s all about embracing the beautifully bizarre. No judgments, no gatekeeping—just a room full of folks who get it. As the one and only Wil Wheaton put it, ‘Being a nerd, which is to say, going too far and caring too much about a subject, is the best way to make friends I know.’ So let’s go too far together—bring your passions, your playlists, your wildest ideas, and let’s make some epic new connections. Whether you’re a ren-faire bard with a lute in tow or a goth who’s convinced the sun is overrated, you’re welcome here. Come as you are, grab a seat, and let’s raise a glass to the freaky, geeky, and utterly fantastic!
