Sooner. Um. Maybe even news in a week or less.

Oh hot damn.

And just got the new text lol

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Doing some... work... before opening my bank account in the 7-story FiDi bank.

1) 7 stories, that sound familiar. Plus in Dante's circles of hell 7th is for violence.
2) The coffee shop has some Dorian Grey references.
3) Girl in the Velvet Swing is also referenced in the shop.
4) Oh and Faust, how can we forget Faust?

There's Something Suspicious About this Art Deco Coffee Shop Inside a FiDi Bank - Untapped New York

Inside Conwell Coffee Hall, located within the historic banking hall of 20 Exchange Place, everything is not as it seems!

Life and Trust presale happening at Conwell Coffee Hall.

 

[kristenabelle]

ARGH I will be Thursday Why are client meetings never when I want/need them to be lmao

 

[PenguinCowboy]

So what are we thinking?

Definitely Faust (fortune favors the bold, and the logo looks like this: LIFE AND TRUST), but I am also hearing possible Dante's Inferno and 7 Deadly Sins references? Thematically I am sure we will see a smattering of Devil imagery and stories, but anyone hearing anything good?

Under client log in on their website, Faust and Conwell work as usernames. Nothing much shown after login besides confirming they're a client, but cool nonetheless.

I would expect The Red Shoes and The Picture of Dorian Gray to be influences.

Starts June 17. Entry times are over two hours, first entry gets special experience. $140 weekdays and $160 weekends.

What's wild to me (and it was true for Sleep No More and I thought they would fix it for Life and Trust) is that they don't do dynamic pricing depending on your timeslot. If you get the earliest possible timeslot, you not only get more time in the experience, but now you also get an extra experience too. If you are the last slot, you could potentially miss an entire hour of the show itself, and yet all tickets cost the same?

Just feels like they could average out the costs and charge accordingly, but then again, I guess that would also risk only selling the "cheap seats" and potentially have some shows practically empty during the beginning of the night

 

[Parkscope Joe]

If you get the earliest possible timeslot, you not only get more time in the experience, but now you also get an extra experience too.

Reading more, it seems this extra hour is for presales only IRL during the preview period and it's a cocktail hour. So that extra time is not show time.

So I assume regular admission times will be 7-8pm like SNM once open.

 

[Clive]

The reason they're doing the cocktail hour upfront is because of the restrictions on the liquor license (the show takes place in a residential building, and this was a compromise to get those residents on board). You likely will not have the chance to get a drink after the show concludes.

More information about the show gleaned from the purchase confirmation e-mail: You will be wearing masks. It appears to be free-roam, several hours, multiple floors. "Intense psychological situations," nudity, strobes, theatrical haze. All the Sleep No More hallmarks.

Expect digital tickets to go on sale soon. They have it set up, just need to unlist it.

Expect digital tickets to go on sale soon.

I heard "very soon" so I think it might be within the next few days.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Tickets are up look at your email.

Going to visit the bank 7/17

 

[Grabnar]

Just set up an entire visit to NYC to see this on 6/22. Very excited.
