adulthood II

The party will be structured like a bar mitzvah, and will be held in a crumbling secondhand bookshop. We will be talking through shelves. Chairs are not allowed but you may sit on the floor. 
The first hour will be spent in silence. You may write notes, but it is strongly recommended that you use eye contact as the primary means of communication. Tapas will be served. 
In the second hour, a slideshow of war photography will be projected against a bookshelf. A lottery will be held to decide who will read a passage from a random page from Gravity and Grace, a text written by Simone Weil. Music composed by Arvo Pärt will be played on old Creative speakers. There will be trays of sausages passed around. Spicy bloody mary cocktails will be served, in chilled mugs.
The final hour will be spent making zabaglione and dancing.
