This Just In...

Hello party people :)

It is quite exciting that the party is two hours from san francisco (110 miles) and five hours from Los Angeles, all on roads which you will find pleasing and enjoyable? Yes? Which means the party is south of san francisco, near the nice village of Paicines, Ca.

The dancefloor has a 360 degree panorama view as well. Presale tickets are availble through this wednesday nite on this site.

Tickets will be 40$ at the gate. The gates open at 1pm on Saturday, and everyone is invited to stay until noon on Monday.

Please, no cooking stoves or fire arts!

This year, we find our party in the middle of a very dry california. We ask that you bring no cooking stoves to the party. There will be hot plates available for all your cooking needs at a central location.

As usual for this time of year, a vigilant eye on sparks and fires is something to keep in mind.
