Euterpe Holds Auditions for Catamites to join their Boy Band
Cultural eventThe Executive, Humphrey Boswell, who watched Worley Harper, (or Harley as his name was then,) and Eric Morton perform, went to the CEO of Euterpe Recording Company and pitched putting together a boy band to him. All they needed to do was to find two, or three, more boys.
Within two days they held auditions, for which thousands of boys came to the first round, and then narrowed down the selection. Word of the auditions spread fast, thanks to holographic ads, and also ads in the Dream Program. Many people found it annoying when a random dream character appeared in their shared lucid dream and interrupted their dreamed sex act by telling them about an audition, but almost 90 percent who turned up did so because they saw the dream ad, not the holographic one.

Crushed Velvet have their first live performance
Cultural eventOn the same day as the release of the album they crossed the equator to Boulder Island for the annual Winter Solstice Festival concert at the Plaza in the center of the island. Humphrey tried to limit it to the band mouthing along with the recording of the three songs that he bought from an outside songwriter. They got a chilly reception from the audience. Then Harley pulled one of his stunts, revealing an orchestra that played a handful of his songs, which they sung live, and the crowd loved it.

Demeter plays a demo at Euterpe
Plague / EpidemicDemeter Jones created the Ear Worm Virus in the months following his bet with Humphrey Boswell and infected himself with it. Under the influence of the virus he composed a catchy tune, which would therefore contain the virus. He cured himself, which meant he was then immune to it, and then went to the Euterpe Recording Company and played the tune there. Humphrey didn’t think that the song measured up and declared that Demeter lost the bet. Smiling Demeter gave Humphrey a check and left. While the check bounced, Humphrey found himself unable to get a song out of his head at the bank, and everyone at the Euterpe office kept humming a different tune. The people at the bank, who heard Humphrey, soon began humming their own songs, and so on. Demeter didn’t mind letting Humphrey think he’d won the bet, for the time being, as the visit was all about infecting the first group of people with the virus.
