Taking place in an old shoe factory in Downtown St. Louis, aka City Museum, which has been repurposed into an artist-built playground full of weirdly wonderful spaces to explore.

Beowulf Bash 2025:
Alien Appreciation Day

This recognition is long overdue. Aliens have contributed bigly to our culture. Well, okay, some have traveled across space and tried to conquer our planet1, eat people, or take our water, but when haven’t you been hungry or thirsty after a long trip? And what about ET, he2 was okay, right?

Let’s be clear, the Beowulf Bash welcomes everyone3, including all earth people and aliens, provided they only eat the vendor-provided refreshments. As usual, there will be entertainment and a quiet spot to catch up with old friends or meet new ones.

In order to properly celebrate Alien Appreciation Day, we found the most Alien venue in St Louis, The City Museum. It’s a 15-minute walk from the conference center and is hard to describe…let’s call it a playground for smart, curious people. Maybe some of your friends will enjoy it.

The event starts at 9pm on Monday, November 17, immediately after the SC25 Opening Gala, and will require a SC25 badge scan, so make sure to bring your badge. Aliens attending SC25 are welcome, as we have suspended the Intergalactic Creature Entry process for the evening.

9:00 PM – Midnight

Notes:

[1] Yes, some aliens have tried, but we have Jeff Goldblum and Tom Cruise.
[2] ET’s gender was never revealed, although as we understand, the scene where he/she/his/hers/they/them takes a leak in the woods was cut.
[3] Even those vibe coding SOBs who think they can take your job because they used AI to create some simple-ass Python code.
