What is
AREA 42?
AREA 42 is a private social club in Faribault, Minnesota, hosting stellar events year-round. Members choose between Standard and VIP tiers. All enjoy access to event tickets, a private Discord community, and periodic gifts—including a club T-shirt. VIP perks include 2 free tickets to every event, early RSVP for limited-space gatherings, and a personalized door code for daily lounge access from 8 am–8 pm.
THE BRIEF
AREA 42 is "out-of-this-world"
because it is the place to let go
of all your earthly stressors and
just be free. Be weird. Have fun.

The Mothership Lounge
AREA 42’s quirky, galactic-themed lounge serves as the mothership for members, offering a laid-back space with couches, board games, neon lights, and a cosmic blacklight mural. It’s equipped for workshops, creative gatherings, and screenings on a 12-foot projector, plus there's a treasure chest of free stickers, snacks, crystals, and other surprises. VIP members enjoy a dedicated cold room for solventless extraction and access to specialized gear like a freeze dryer, a Levo Lux machine, and a 10-ton hydraulic press.
If you are interested in becoming a member, there is a formal application process to ensure this hideaway remains a safe and supportive space where everyone can authentically be themselves.

Embrace Your Inner Alien at Area 42!
A CELESTIAL INTERVENTION
I’VE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN SPACE AND IT WAS WHEN SCROLLING, DAYDREAMING, LOOKING FOR INSPIRATION IT CAME TO ME. I’D COMBINE MY PASSION FOR SPACE WITH SCROLLYTELLING. EACH SCROLL, LIKE A NEW DAY, WOULD PROMISE SOMETHING EXCITING AND BUILD ANTICIPATION.
