You have noclipped out of the company Slack.

On Friday, March 13 at 9:40 PM, a small group of survivors from this office will gather at the Alamo Drafthouse to see THE BACKROOMS on opening night. There is no agenda. There is no deck. There is only fluorescent buzz and an after-party at a basement bar called The Liminal.

Scroll right (or use ↓) to walk down the hall. Don't look back at the wallpaper for too long.

The Film We Are Going To See

Endless yellow rooms.
No exits. A camcorder.

In 2019 someone posted a photograph of a beige hallway to an imageboard and accidentally invented a folklore. Kane Pixels filmed short videos of a teenager noclipping into infinite carpet. A24 and Atomic Monster turned them into a feature. We are going to watch that feature, in a building, with each other, on purpose.

Are you in?

Reply by Wednesday. After that, the seat-block contracts, the carpet gets a little damper, and you have to find your own way out.

If you do not respond, you will be assumed to be still buffering.
