And what better way to mark this, our eighth trip around this giant ball of fire than to celebrate Bees both old and new in their infinite diversity. Join us in Agartha for a special photo op to commemorate occasion. Dress up in your finest or come as you are. It’s not a competition. Everyone’s bits are beautiful! _Photography services provided by the Custodians of the Hollow Earth. Release subject to final approval by the Stationmaster._ - **Friday, 04th July 2025, 18:00 UTC** 2025-07-04T18:00:00Z - **Sunday, 06th July 2025, 23:00 UTC** 2025-07-06T23:00:00Z You’re welcome to join for both timeslots if you wish! We will be gathering on the old dungeon platform (the one with the little silver Kaspu Nasiru shem on it). Meet up on **Aeryl** or **Vomher** to make sure you’re in the right instance. ---
