[Lore] The alley marketplace, nestled on the grounds on which the Tiny Minotaur squats, is filled with small shops and nooks--- dusty apothecaries run by surly crones, perfumed raven-haired textile purveyors, ancient blue-robed wizards well-versed in oracles and of course, Sell Swords! The Golden Company, is a polished crew of battle-hardened warriors (mind you, the term is not limited to sword wielders---- mages, rogues and clerics have joined these illustrious ranks) hand-selected by the Tavern's formerly retired Orc Berzerker, Oakda Malkuth! . [Note: Want to join the Golden Company? You will need to win a PvP Tourney using the Tiny Minotaur's in-house PvP card game! Available at the Gatehouse. Members of the Golden Company are present in the Booth on Thursdays to train you in the ways of Tiny Minotaur PvP combat! Next Tourney will be June 18th! ] Photo 📸 by @ritmosonali Golden Company Installation created by @dreamfiendin

Wednesday, May 13th: The Tiny Minotaur Tavern is proud to present a live taping of @memorystatic , a podcast in which host Bailey Moore (@all_the_dots ) digs up old movies you watched as a child, and throws a party to watch and talk about them.

Take a stroll down the aisles of the musty, sun-bleached video rental store of the millennial subconscious, with critical analysis, jokes, et and cetera! In this edition, Bailey welcomes special guest Bear (@splatterdaddy ) to watch and discuss a certain 1980s animated fantasy film collaboration between a certain legendary fantasy painter and a certain legendary underground animator. The gender politics of this film are certain to be: FUN! ———————— Wednesday, May 13th - DOORS: 7:00 PM - SHOW: 8:30 PM - FREE for tavern members and their guests - $5 for non-members - Costumes purely optional - Age 21+ DISCLAIMER: the Slow Moving Time Machine cannot travel backward in time, and in fact only moves forward in time slightly faster than reality. #atx #fantasytavern

It can be a cruel world out there, but at least we've got Dungeon Synth Nights at The Tiny Minotaur! Good people getting together in DIY spaces to make beautiful things happen is a radical act in the ugliness of Earth's current era, but it's really not so crazy in The Rift. We do it almost every night!

Featuring: @william.adam.jones_music (of ATX-to-LA darkheartthrobs Troller), @oddmanrushmusic (of countless ATX-and-beyond post-punk/industrial live groups), and Slowmancer (mysterious new project of the perennial shapeshifter @gobletgrotto ) Doors at 7, Music at 8 $15 for non-members, 21+ for all Don thy Adventure Fit or Don't, you're in the right place either way Artwork from a 1970 blacklight poster by George Goode of Houston, TX Flyer by Apoxupon Presented by Texas Dungeon Siege
