The social function is to passive-aggressively use social pressure to
demand money while pretending not to instead of forthrightly asking for it
and thus bearing the responsibility or in this case blame of demanding it,
thus jiu-jitsuing prevailing practices people ideologically object to back
in by bullshitting through the objections, thus accomplishing the practical
goal of obtaining money, perhaps in the interest of supporting the effort
to produce the event people are being admitted to?

idk, suggested donation is just a passive aggressive

when I don't follow the suggestion the person at the door looks at
least surprised and sometimes annoyed, and the people I'm with get
embarrassed. I'm not from here though, so maybe there is some
necessary social function it serves.

"1) MONEY/TICKETS
Due in part to the popularity of the show, and to keep the show going,

Smut has historically been a paid-entry event.

split door sales with Sudo Room 50/50--yay
money!! (And just a note on
this:
I don't know if this is a no-brainer, but
this would not effect your
ability
to access Sudo Room. Please be fair though if you
do plan to "sneak in"

donate a little mulah if you are able to.)

This really wasn't discussed before. this would be the first time Sudo
Room
would be hosting an event with a cover. I
don't think it's really
appropriate for Sudo Room to host an event that people have to pay to
attend. I would suggest making this a suggested donation not a mandatory
cover.
thoughts?

Beverages: Let's talk off-list at the next meeting (May 1st) regarding
availability/donations/etc.
Food: Pretzels! Popcorn! If there is something snacky you like making,
consider bringing it for donations/sale!

can make the guests comfortable are very welcome." --Reverend Phil
