A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Themed Martinis!

The Academy of Spherical arts has a very well stocked bar! We are taking full advantage of this with some special BME themed Martinis made especially for ModProm. My team of mixologists (or just friends that like to pretend they are) helped me come up with this list.

MODPROM THEMED MARTINIS!

The Christina: Vodka, Triple Sec and Lime Juice – Garnished with a maraschino cherry and a splash of cranberry juice.

The Gelding: A Vodka Lychee Martini with a dripped grenadine garnish and two full lychees, floated not stirred.

The Prince Albert: Vodka, Crème de Cacao and Baileys, garnished with a gummy worm.

The C.B.Tini: Traditional Dry Martini with two large pimento olives, pierced, of course.

The Irizumi: Sake, a small chunk of fresh lemon grass and vodka, garnished with pickled ginger. I think I’m turning Japanese!

The Falkner: Dry Vermouth, Gin and Jagermeister garnished with a candy cane to resemble a hook.

The Sub-tini: Vodka, Crème de Cacao, Banana Liqueur and Grenadine with a sliced mini-banana garnish.

Gauge Queen: Gin, Dry Vermouth and olive brine (one teaspoon) with Spanish blue-cheese stuffed olives as a garnish.
