Only a week left now. Deco is being made as I type this and should be the best Texas has seen to date. Psylotus is an amazing deco artist and creator.

We have added to the attractions and activities of the festival as well. I don't know if festival would even be the word anymore, electronic music circus might be more appropriate.

To get presales and save a bit of cash go here. Or you can get in touch with me, Jay Nicole. or Daveed, we all have presale tickets for purchase.

EA will be on site with information on recycling in the Austin area: what can be recycled, what facilities accept certain materials, and how you can get involved!

Treasure City Thrift
Treasure City is committed to recycling its waste and reuse items that cannot be resold. Many things destined for the landfill still have a life worth living and every item at Treasure City is either donated or reclaimed from the waste stream. We even take items that other thrift stores refuse to touch. Croquet

A croquet tournament will be held during the day. USCA 9-wicket rules will be observed.


We will be posting up timeslots for both stages/ both days on Tuesday or Wednesday, we've got them all worked out, but a little suspense is always fun.
