A collection of photos and visual ephemera from various DOS meetings and events.

The original DOS logo, created in 2023. It is a play on the Denver flag, one of the nation's most well-designed city flags, replacing the familiar sun with an ominous spiral.
Photo taken of mail-order cartoonist and card-carrying DOS member Nic Sequeira at the inaugural DOS meeting on May 13, 2023. Fittingly, DOS was so obscure at this point that Sequeira was the only attendee. The pavilion was filled with a noisy, 500-person wedding and Sequeira spent around an hour walking around the same 10-foot area, listening to the songbirds, and appreciating the subtleties of the encroaching rainstorm. This was truly a day that history will remember.
The accursed shrine of the DOS, the Cheesman Park Pavilion, at around 7:45 in the evening. The Pavilion was chosen for its bizarre location, and its resemblance to the Acropolis of Athens. It is one damn attractive building, that's for sure. Here, members of the DOS can philosophize and bask in the terrifying, unrestrained splendor of nature. If you look closely at this photo, you can make out DOS Member .3 peeking out from somewhere in the recesses of the archaic structure, behind the central pillars- beckoning any would-be passersby into her blood-stained maw.
DOS Agent Sav standing in front of a gradient nighttime horizon at approximately 9:15 P.M. Note the Planet Venus visible immediately above her. Venus appears as a bright, pronounced dot near the horizon in the evenings and mornings, and is therefore referred to colloquially as the "morning star." Unlike stars, however, Venus does not flicker. Constant rains of sulfuric acid are common on Venus, which if inhaled or exposed to skin will result in injury or death. For that reason, among many others, we do not recommend going to Venus.
A bizarre graffiti (not DOS-related) located on the northern end of the Pavilion. Taking photos of graffiti like this is a bizarre experience- because the odds of a group like the DOS taking the time to document and preserve it in photographic form before it gets removed by city officials is virtually nil. One must delve into the psyche of anyone who'd write this sort of thing if one is to understand the seemingly futile pursuit of scrawling weird things on marble with a permanent marker for no apparent reason. At any rate, it seems Marco is back, so anyone who was wondering about that can rest easy.
Daytime photo of a Glow Orb on the ceiling of the Cheesman park pavilion. These Glow Orbs, which remain on perpetually well into the dim morning hours, are in fact sentient beings who reproduce and multiply at will, creating little colonies and social structures of their own accord. They have been known to descend at will and gnaw off the faces of unsuspecting parkgoers who disrespect the sanctity of the Pavilion by doodling crude images on it or skateboarding.
DOS Agent El holding up the pillars of the Pavilion with their Herculean strength. Upon further inspection of this photo, their shirt bears a striking geometrically arranged magenta pattern of wild cats, which is fittingly esoteric for attending a DOS meeting.
Group photo of the DOS taken around 8 P.M. on June 24, 2023. DOS agents El, Eric, Tommy, Nic, Frank, and Pound made this a night of fascinating discussion on the delightful Cheesman grass, which lasted for around an hour until the nocturnal winds picked up. The shadows gathered and the light refracted off everyone's faces in such a way as to make all of us aware that something legitimately inexplicable was occurring, and that Denver would never be the same.
DOS Agent Tommy displaying the exciting DOS mask, one of the most fashionable statements in existence. Tommy often dresses in mysterious wizard-type garb, and the DOS mask provides a nice compliment to that. NOTE: The DOS mask is not available for sale to the general public, it is only available by becoming a DOS member. The secrets of existence are inscribed on the back of the mask in phoenix blood and we don't want just anyone discovering them willy-nilly.
Recreation of "The School Of Athens" by Raphael taken on the steps of the Cheesman Park Pavilion around 9:30 P.M. Agent Sav volunteered to take this shot as well as 3 other variants which will be locked away in the DOS vault until the heat death of the universe.

Photo from the end of the historic 10th DOS episode, considered by many DOS aficionados to be among the best in the series. Squirt is an all-American drink, having been created by mysterious skulking fiends in Phoenix, Arizona in 1938. It is the sort of obscure beverage you would tend to pass in the grocery store if you weren't looking specifically for it, which is why the DOS has adopted it as our own. In this image, the gallon jug of Squirt is taking a refreshing break in front of the American flag and enjoying its own innate flavor.
Group shot taken during the DOS' excursion to Lakeside Amusement Park in August 2023, near the base of the Lakeside Tower with Lake Rhoda visible in the background. All four agents pictured here experienced thrilling subversions of gravity on the various eclectic death traps Lakeside has to offer, hence the tilted angle. By the end of the night, everyone was feeling throughly satisfied and fulfilled, and proceeded to concoct various schemes involving rat creatures.
Cryptic rune located at the northeast corner of the Pavilion.
