What we will tell you

◆
The Rainier Club, Seattle. The evening of Tuesday 3 November 2026, from five o'clock.
◆
Open bar. Hors d'oeuvres. Passed, not queued for.
◆
The Stardust Awards. The winning teams of the Stardust Challenge, in eight categories, announced from the stage.
◆
Come dressed for the twenties. Or as close as your wardrobe allows. Nobody is turned away for a modern suit.
◆
Your ticket is a Stardust account. One ticket per member, so we know who is in the room.

◇
Who wins. The envelopes are sealed until the stage. Not even the teams know.
◇
The word at the door. Every ticket carries its own. It is shown to you here once your ticket is yours, and to nobody else.
◇
The last toast. You have to be in the room for that one.

One award in each. The categories are no secret; the winners are.

?She is on the front page, down where the small print lives.

?He is at the conference, at the very bottom of the bill.

?He is at the Challenge, after everything else.

?In the community, after the last word.

?Knock three times.

Five cards are hidden around this site. Each one you find stays in your hand. Some are easier than others; one needs a knock.

The doors are not open yet.

The price and the seats are announced when they are. Put your name on the list now and you are told first, in the order you arrived.

A Stardust account is free and takes a minute.
