ONE: [pre-show] Pick up a Treat
Listless is a lot about convoluted memories from vacations mushed together... but also special treats that you buy yourself. If you're able, I recommend picking yourself up something nice. Here's your moment for a choose-your-own-adventure. What type of vacation do you want to go on?
Choose your trip accordingly:
- CITY TRAVEL: Macaron C.H. Patisserie
- ROADTRIP/ROADSIDE ATTRACTION: Malt The Diner
- CAMPING: S'mores Cookie Queen City Bakery
- FAIR: Cotton Candy Candy Cloud Factory
TWO: [pre-show/during] List & A Cool Pen
Trips as an adult tend to become more of a balance between the stress of preparedness and the relaxation of the destination. It's a delicate push and pull. This is why Listless includes a full list.*
This part of the adventure is both practical and not practical at all. It's about the joy and adventure mindset behind the piece.
Child's Play Toys: Get a six-in-one colored pen or a set of gel pens or stickers... Or pick up a fun toy while you're there, too. This part of the prep is all about pure joy.
Zandbroz: If you want to up your list game, check out their journal selection. They also have adventuresome things like binoculars & rock specimens. If you haven't visited since 2019, go to the back to get into exploration mode.
Once you're settled in at the window, use your new items to list the things you need to pack for your next adventure (and now you can color-code the list!). Or you could spend some time checking off what's been packed so far in Listless. I'll be packing up a few more pieces randomly throughout the show's duration.
*the full list was curated by a small social survey conducted among friends & family.
THREE: [during show] Soundscape
Here you will find sound files. In an ideal world, you'll have uncomfortable airplane headphones or a flimsy pair from the 80's.
If something of this caliber is not available, comfortable headphones, earbuds, or listening aloud on a mobile device will do fine. I hope you're warmed with a slightly uncomfortable wave of nostalgia, memories of long car rides, and a sweet longing for the gratuitous amount of ennui you may have once felt on long summer days.
