Welcome to
Hello My
Name Is. . .
Beyond comparison, HELLO MY NAME IS… reinvents events as you know them. Why waste time networking for hours with people you’re tired of seeing at marketing summits and conferences? You can gather just beyond the grave for a party that will really let us bare our souls. Watch your colleagues die* all around you and the fates battle over our final resting places in the war of Heaven vs. Hades.
Each participant will be given the opportunity to Meet Grim and choose a cause of death. Will you choose poison? Pain? Passion? Then, Judgement will determine if you wear a white sash or red. Will angels fall? Will devils rule? Which side of the pearly gates is more fun?
*Death may or may not be simulated.
Attire
Attire is business festive but first-time attendees often request a more detailed guide to fitting in the diverse crowd of HELLO MY NAME IS… We agree you may want to make an effort to blend in with our veteran demons and angels.
- If you are most comfortable in your usual business frocks, such wear makes an excellent starting point for your outfit. We suggest embellishing a button-down or dapper suit with a sequined hat or glow sticks. Empower a slinky cocktail dress with combat boots.
- Both hellscape and heavenly clouds make for uneven terrain and harbor serpents. Choose proper footwear and leave your office heels at home.
- Though beginner attendees fall back on mere tidy presentation and a clean-cut look, our most popular registrants accessorize with bold or even over-the-top eyeliner, tails, and horns!
- The word burner comes to mind for some reason…
- No celestial being or hellhound is offended by human cosplay — in fact the undeads are a touch narcissistic and take such mimicry as the best of compliments. Wear feathered wings or jagged claws if you feel like it!

*By “oxygen” staff very exactly means a shit-ton of NO2. Your donations fund this bar and also the port-o-hells. Should these plastic shit bins be protected by a whip-wielding demon who gives priority to VIP guests? Yes, yes I think so and I already have a volunteer demon.
