Featuring many guests stars! Micah Elizabeth Scott, Christophe Pettus, Adam Flynn (and his new research project), the heroes and heroines of RE/Search... and surprises? Hmmm!

Our gala will be a dignified occasion -- and so we invite you to dress up properly. Surprise us with NSA outfits! NSA outfits? The goddamn NSA? Well, almost!
The National Sex Agency (NSA) is the central producer and manager of filthy intelligence for the USA. Estimated to be one of the most perverted organizations in terms of personnel and objectives, the NSA operates under the jurisdiction of the Department of Dildonics and reports to the Director of Analigence. The NSA is primarily tasked with global monitoring, collection, decoding, translation and analysis of smut data for fornication (Project ZOMG) and counterfornication (Area WTF) purposes. The agency is authorized to accomplish its mission through clandestine means, among which is buggering electronic systems and allegedly engaging in sabotage through intercourse.
Dress up and maybe win a "Golden Kleene" yourself!
