Oh right. Basically jack made a Facebook event to RSVP to this reunion to open a time capsule of whatever your character decides to put in. It was meant to start at the bar to raise spirits and say a last hurrah to Ritman before it perished. It was sent earlier in the year and then another reminder 3 months prior and then the day before. There’s a group chat for the event. So yes is your original answer. 

EDIT: The old cast has some rapport built in the bar scene so some of them are still there. But the new people would have forgone that in favor of this clean open.
