MOTHERSHIP

A tropical space adventure, MOTHERSHIP is an escapist bar and restaurant experience located in San Diego’s South Park neighborhood from Kory Stetina (founder of KINDRED). MOTHERSHIP presents an interior dwelling wholly reinvented into a fictional world: a crashed starship, a mysterious and forbidden tropical planet, and a bounty of reimagined exotic cocktails.

Designed and built by Ignacio “Notch” Gonzalez of Top Notch Kustoms (Smuggler’s Cove-SF, Whitechapel-SF, Inside Passage-SF), along with a team of plant, lighting, sound, and illustration/animation specialists, MOTHERSHIP creates an otherworldly experience for visitors, from the cave-like environment under a night sky with shooting stars, custom extraterrestrial plant life, programmed control panels, and an original soundtrack composed by Justin Pinkerton (Golden Void, Futuropaco).

The MOTHERSHIP Back Story:
The Ancient Astronaut Shuttle Crew, aboard the A.A.S.C. MOTHERSHIP, boldly explores the darkest, outer edges of the tropical flavor galaxy. During their travels, an unexpected solar flare, accompanied by high levels of cosmic rays, sends the ship’s electronics into disarray. The psycho-space marauders are left with no other option but to execute emergency landing protocols, on a nearby mysterious, and previously uncharted planet. Once off board, the crew examines the surroundings. The odd, sinister planet has little to offer to help rebuild or repair the ship, but has ample natural resources of strange, exotic fruits and vegetables. The major source of fluid on the planet appears to be a curious and intoxicating, alcoholic spirit. The crew has discovered no intelligent life, but a strange presence and odd, unexplainable encounters have been reported. The Ancient Astronaut Shuttle Crew accepts that they are marooned, destined to live out their remaining years on this forbidden tropical planet. They establish a new colony, and over time fashion the ship into a base camp. Together, the fearless, adventurous, tight-knit crew members commit to co-existing within the unfamiliar surroundings of the planet, not in desperate peril, but on a .… .…PERMANENT VACATION.
