The Orrery

Every body on its own gearing, all turning under one hand.

On the desk

Orrery
Lock the Orrery behind Access.
The page is live but still public. Zero Trust → Access → Applications, self-hosted, allow evan@ipok.nyc.
Fire Island
Confirm the medium for the tondo suite — acrylic or oils.
The one thing holding the Fire Island production calendar. Nothing downstream can be built until it is answered.
Life
Re-grant Google Calendar permissions.
Timed out. There is no real scheduling visibility until it is restored.
IPOK
One line on what Born of Rain actually is.
Owed to the record since June. The fifth seat of The Focus stays empty without it.

Standing

July is production-protected. No new infrastructure launches — the tondo suite, cruise prep, and the desk itself.

IPOKThe Focus — five seats
DJ / music

Sound identity drafted and awaiting the red pen. The four disciplines below inherit from it.

On the deskMark up the sound-identity one-pager so the crates get their filter and the sets get their logic.

The Focus

ISound identity
One page on what an IPOK set is and isn’t. v1 printed, markup pending.
IIThe crates
A standing weekly dig, tracked — so sets stop being assembled from memory the night before. Not yet standing.
IIISet architecture
Two or three durable frameworks — opener, peak, closer logic — instead of starting from zero each gig.
IVPromo voice
What you sound like on your own channels, in your own hand, now the bureau holds the email voice.
VBorn of Rain
Awaiting one line on what the project is, then it folds into the room properly.

Open threads

Managers hold bookings and press. This room is the personal and creative side: crate-digging, set prep, sound and brand direction, promo, scene radar.

AFTR / IMGScoping
Nightlife archive

Preservation infrastructure, not merely an archive. The dashboard waits on Botanica and the Ephemeris to set the working rhythm.

On the deskDefine the scope tightly enough to build agent teams against it.

Open threads

Venues, flyers, sets, lineages — a living atlas of nightlife history. Cultural memory is the whole point.

BotanicaSteady
Rooftop garden

Wild but intentional. The weekly roll is running. Garden of Ninfa is the reference.

On the deskKeep the roll; nothing forced.

The beds

The Orchard·Vines & Fruit·The Northern Bed·The Flowering·The Kitchen

Open threads

The Bushwick rooftop. An engraved-almanac register, organized into named beds.

Fire IslandActive — show mid-September
Art / cabana / writing

The tondo suite is scoped and ready. Seven 12-inch rounds, dusk to first light — silver throughout, gold only at dawn.

On the deskConfirm the medium (acrylic or oils). It is the gate on the whole production calendar.

Open threads

Black and slate grounds, silver as the light medium, gold reserved for the final piece at dawn. At least a third of each canvas’s silver runs off the edge, so every round reads as a porthole. The show hangs the hours in order.

NeptuneDormant
Aquatic systems

Wakes when the tanks are running again.

Lower priority until actively running.

Sibling desks. Tag a thread for one and it queues under their name until you sit down with them. The money rule holds — nothing here gets improvised that belongs at Brian’s desk.
