What is
AREA 42?
WELCOME, EARTHLING!
AREA 42 is a private social club based in Faribault, Minnesota. It was founded by Captain "Jedi Jessie" in 2025. She now hosts weekly events at the Mothership Lounge and organizes group outings for her crew members.
​
To attend AREA 42 events, you must either be a crew member or the guest of one. There are two membership options, Standard and VIP. All crew members enjoy access to event tickets, a private Discord community, and periodic gifts—including a club T-shirt. VIP perks include free tickets to events, early RSVP for limited-space gatherings, and a personalized door code for daily access to the Mothership Lounge.
​
The Mothership Lounge is the heart of the club. This quirky galactic-themed shed offers a laid-back space with couches, board games, neon lights, and a Nintendo 64. It’s also equipped for workshops, creative gatherings, and screenings on a 12-foot projector screen. In addition to the main area, VIP members enjoy a dedicated cold room for solventless extraction and access to specialized gear such as a freeze dryer, a Levo Lux machine, and a 10-ton hydraulic press.
​
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.

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.
