When You Arrive

This page will be updated with information as the date approaches. Until then, here are a few things to remember.

• From the minute you enter the meeting room until the minute you leave, it is March 13, 1989 and you are your persona. Please do not break character.

• No one had cell phones in 1989, so please don’t take yours out during the meeting. We are all addicted to our devices, and it will be VERY DIFFICULT for you to resist the urge. But that will immediately take you and everyone else out of the world of the meeting, so please, please, please don’t.

• Please make sure you have read all of the preparation materials: How It Works, Background Information, and your Persona profile, which you can look up at Persona Assignments starting about a week prior.

• ACT UP meetings would tend to thin out over the course of the meeting. So if your persona is bored or needs to leave, by all means leave (though if your persona is on the agenda, they would probably get someone to cover for them).
