***** BEGIN OFFICIAL TRANSMISSION *****

May 15, 2009 - NORTH AMERICAN AEROSPACE DEFENSE (NORAD) COMMAND
Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, CO, USA

SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) has intercepted, and NORAD has confirmed the following transmission, discovered during routine monitoring of deep sub-space audio traffic for patterned activity in the ongoing search for extraterrestrial life.

According to the contents of the transmission, an invasion force of as-yet-unidentified extraterrestrial creatures are planning an infiltration at LAT/LONG 37.794194,-122.400102 on Friday June 5th, potentially disrupting The Galactic Gala fundraising event, supporting the construction of the Raygun Gothic Rocketship, a privately-owned interplanetary space vehicle.

... IT IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME WHETHER THEIR INTENTIONS ARE BELLIGERENT OR BENIGN IN NATURE. PEOPLE IN THE VICINITY OF THE BENTLY RESERVE DURING THIS TIME SHOULD STAND READY FOR ANY EVENTUALITY, AND ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO ARRIVE PREPARED WITH SPACE TRAVEL-READY GEAR.

Once again, this infiltration will take place:

The RAYGUN GOTHIC ROCKETSHIP is an immersive rocket base environment consisting of a tall metal rocket connected via walkway to a taller gantry with a well-defined lighted perimeter. Participants can interactively explore the rocket’s three interior chambers accessible through the bottom of the rocket and the top of the rocket via the gantry. Aesthetically the project will be done in a rococo retro-futurist vernacular between yesterday’s tomorrow and the future that never was, a critical kitsch somewhere between The Moons of Mongo & Manga Nouveau.
