Apogaea 2008 - June 5-8 (events » arts) Thursday, June 5, 2008 - 12:00 PM 69 RSVPs Coming soon to a location near you....APOAGEA 2008 Tickets!

Yes, that's right kiddies, we've been cooking up all sorts of mischievous fun for this year's Apogaea, and your ticket to a good time is a mere $50 away.

Rumor has it that a bunch of tree-huggers hog tied our marketing team and refused to let them print paper tickets this year... so in the name of greening our burn, tickets for 2008 will be printed on the
salty and delicious flesh of bacon! Mmmmmmm, bacon.

I guess even environmentalists aren't immune to the siren call of this gateway meat :-) Although now we're worried everyone will eat their tickets before
even getting there!

If you believe you have the willpower to resist advance nibbling, details for advance ticket sales will be announced later this week. So keep an eye (and a nose!) out.

Just what exactly does community spirit smell like? We'll soon find out...

GREENING APO

In an effort to keep waste down and follow the path of self-reliance, we are encouraging everyone to bring their own cup to Apogaea this year. Let’s try to avoid any kind of disposable cups. Let’s also try to avoid plasticware. Second hand stores are a great place to pick up sets of silverware that you can use or better yet…gift!

There will also be recycling bins set-up around Apo Town. Please use these ONLY for recycling materials. Self-Reliance is really your own responsibility and so is your trash. Help keep Apogaea and the Planet magnificent!

FINAL CALL FOR REGISTRATIONS

Register your Theme Camp, Sound Camp, Art Car, Performance or Workshop

Yes, we want YOU to bring your artistic creations to this year's Apogaea! We want to know and be prepared for the greatness of your gift, so if you plan to bring a Theme Camp, Sound Camp, Art Car or Performance then please register your contribution so that we can ensure space, help with scheduling and promote its awesomeness.

All the details are here : apogaea.com/artcamps.php
Deadline : Midnight, May 15, 2009

GENERATORS & QUIET HOURS

By popular vote from the community and the Apogaea board, there will be a mandatory "Reduced Hours and Quiet Hours" for sound/theme camps at Apogaea this year.

Reduced hours will be from 4-6am
Quiet hours will be 6am - 10am.

This means turn off all generators, and subsequently all amplified music. FOUR - count em 4 glorious hours of peace and quiet - well, at least 4 hours without the megawatts thump of amplified music. That's enough to get a good nap in.
Sound levels will be enforced with decibel meters.

Also don't forget we will be enforcing enclosed generators. Generator noise must not exceed 70dB at 10 feet - that's about as loud as an average passenger car. Any generator that is found to be in violation will be turned off until the noise issue is remedied with better enclosure techniques. We're not trying to be Nazis about this, we just need to make sure everyone is being respectful in such a limited, but beautiful space.

------:-------:-------:-------:-------:-------:-------:-------:-------:--

TO PORTA POTTY OR PORT YOUR POTTY

We will be adding several more portalets this year with a guaranteed daily cleaning, which will hopefully result in each one being used a bit less. And of course, you can always do your part by eating and drinking less!

Undoubtedly the *ick* factor of public bathrooms after a night of partying is universal to burns. Like the joys of cleaning playa dust out of crevices you had no idea even existed in your body, it is one of the things we love/hate about these events. We'll do the best we can to make it as tolerable as possible though.

And remember - with enough leak proof re-usable grocery bags and a (hopefully!) private setting, no one ever *really* has to use the public bathrooms...

Pack it in - pack it out!

APOGAEA WORK WEEKEND

Come on out to Happy Ass Ranch and help us prepare thy land. Bobolicious will be creating another great BBQ for all those that come out and lend a hand.

May 30th & 31st.

See ya then!
