Paweł Sysiak
Intro
Hi there! You got this message because I died. I would love to invite you to my going away party. Everybody is invited – even if we weren’t close and you feel like coming please do. If you can’t come to Warsaw you can join via video call.
Setup
I would like my passing to be a celebration. People dress joyfully. Think birthday. Pick the weirdest, most colorful clothes you feel comfortable in. Masks and costumes are welcome.
Wait for a sunny and warm day, and find a beautiful meadow in a park in Warsaw. Perhaps Park Skaryszewski? This is a party. If people want they should be able to stay until sunrise.
There will be a lot of blankets. Set them next to one another to create a large blanket patch. Things brought by guests should be scattered on them. There will be plenty of drinks lying around: green tea in thermoses, coffee, and bottles, and bottles of stinky Polish mineral water.
There will be good speakers with music and a microphone. A hired man will read the knowledge bits every couple of songs. There will be a laptop with a video call so people can join from afar.
At some point just order food delivery from a couple of places I liked in Warsaw: e.g. Prasowy, Jaskółka, Vegan Ramen, Ósma Kolonia.
Collab
To everybody:
It would be nice if everybody could bring a snippet of knowledge. This could be anything that seems relevant, a fragment from a book, a favorite idea, something from my website, the funniest story, something absurd, or a personal note. Please limit to around one minute reading time and either send it via email or print it out on the simplest possible paper.
Also, please bring a blanket. This is a party, if you are into it, bring alcohol or a drug of choice.
