WINTER SOLSTICE

2025

Whistling past the sun's graveyard

For the past few years, a number of people got together to stream over 24hrs of music. It'd be nice to do it again. Why? Because nothing matters unless we decide it matters.

"This is what it is to be human: to see the essential existential futility of all action, all striving -- and to act, to strive." -Spider Robinson, Stardance
