Put on your comfiest pajamas and come spend Thanksgiving evening with us at Mission Control. We’re hosting a cozy Anti-Thanksgiving potluck with pie, pillows, blankets, and the kind of charades that gets funnier the worse you are at it.
Bring a sweet or savory pie to share if you can. Homemade and store-bought are equally welcome. If you’re bringing food, please label the ingredients and any known allergens so folks can decide what’s safe for them to eat.
Pajamas, robes, slippers, and whatever you’re most comfortable lounging in are encouraged. Grab a slice, join a game, or settle in with a blanket and catch up with friends.
Play spaces will be closed for the evening, and a PAL isn’t required. Please respect each other’s boundaries and ask before cuddling or initiating other physical contact.
Our Anti-Thanksgiving gathering is also an opportunity to support the Confederation of Ohlone People and their work at Zucigim Village near Half Moon Bay. The farm grows organic food and shares it with local community organizations serving people in need. We’ll have a QR code at the potluck for anyone who’d like to give directly.
