Consenting users of Tidal were sent an elusive email to meet on a street in the Californian city. They were boarded onto private buses, blindfolded and driven to an unknown destination, which transpired to be the Bob Baker Marionette Theater [sic].
Here, the audience were treated to a performance from jugglers and puppeteers and an exclusive screening of BBHMM as cash fell from the ceiling.
