Scenario FestivalI wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong.

Scenario FestivalNational media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.
- 2026 THEME & CALL FOR LARP PITCHES The scenarios at Make A Scene: TEMPO explore new realms of time and pace, harmony and discord, synchronicity and stasis. They’re flooding the zone – we’re dreaming futures worth living in. Time to make a scene!
- Reposted by Make a Scene! Scenario FestivalI came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

- As you read these amusing replies, notice that scads of them are larps. Wickedly short, emotionally affecting, played with real bodies. Larp design can be very accessible. First time larp designers have premiered scenarios at our festival each year. Remember for our 2026 theme drop next month!
