Dark Skies - The Singularity Event, tickets on sale!

[cammyjams]

We are very excited to announce that tickets to Dark Skies – The Singularity Event, have now gone on sale and our web site is live and ready for action!

D.S./Singularity is YOUR South West regional event! Dark Skies – The Singularity Event therefore represents a major step forward in the regional network.

Dark Skies – The Singularity Event, to be held May 17-20, 2007 on Roach Lake is a leave no trace event, there are no in-out privileges and there is no vending of any kind, except for ice sales. This is our 5th event on the beautiful Roach Lake playa south of Las Vegas and the second joint regional event held on the site. There are no pets allowed, and kids under 18 must be with parents or responsible adults.

WHAT’S DIFFERENT THIS TIME?
We’re glad you asked!
For starters, we ARE allowing kids 12 and under in for free this time! (with parents of course) We hope this encourages more families to attend this event and it is something that many of you have asked for, so there you go. Come on out and play with us mom & dad!

Second, the ticket price structure is as follows:
We are doing an early bird special from NOW until Jan 16 for $40. It is hoped that these discounted tickets will encourage those of you with limited incomes to attend DS-Singularity and this is something that you asked for too. Those of you who can afford the higher tier tickets please buy those okay?

There are 100 of these discounted tickets available, so when they’re gone they are gone. Get ‘em now!

NOW until Jan 16 or the first 100 are gone: $40
Jan 17 – April 1: $50
April 2nd – May 16: $75
At the gate $100

Though the event permit ends on Sunday, we encourage you to camp with us on Sunday night, help clean up and it’s your public land and the decompression starts promptly at sundown, (It’s Vegas baby, we move fast around here)

WE NEED YOUR HELP.
The heart of any event of this type is our wonderful volunteers. We need gate captains, earth guardians, and perimeter and security staff. We are also looking for someone with a box blade grader to help improve the road’s into the site. We need volunteers of all types! Please understand that merely purchasing a ticket to this event does not constitute participation. Participation means getting involved. The way to get involved is to volunteer and help the event run smoothly. PLEASE GET INVOLVED, WE NEED YOU ALL. This is YOUR event, this is not a spectator event and it only works if we all help out, thanks.

LATEST NEWS: BLM has approved Dark Skies – The Singularity Event! We are a firm go and the site is locked for that weekend in May. We will be working with a ‘Hard Closure’ of the site again and we are currently talking to BLM about the exact dimensions and boundaries of that closure. We are much further ahead in the planning process than in any of the previous 4 events held on the site. This does not mean we are out of the woods, it means we’re simply getting better at this as we move along. And that is in no small part sure to YOUR SUPPORT. When we say ‘This is your Regional Event’ that is not some catch phrase we really mean it. We could not be doing this without your help. Thank you all!

Please visit the Dark Skies – The Singularity Event website here http://darkskies.vegasartists.com and many thanks to ‘School Girl’ Randy Winsett for his hard work in making this site live!

See you guys in May and thank you all so much.
The DS/Sing ‘core’.

Woohoo! This is a great event, draws a fair-sized Utah crowd too.

Is this the only Singularity event, or are there others?

Er, I'm blushing, but I won't be at Singularity. We have reservations on Big Island in May for our 20th anniversary, even though the date is 02/09, May worked out better, well, except we'll miss Singularity.

We will be at Element 11 though!

Just kidding, sounds like a great thing.
