Event Location

Goa Gil's Birthday Bash will be held on October 5, 2013 at 

Stone Bear River Campgrounds

We are super excited about this location!

It is amazing and beautiful! 

A lot of people have been asking...

NO, you can not rent a cabin. Cabins are for event staff only. 

This venue is a LEAVE NO TRACE venue. 

There will be firewood for sale.

DO NOT gather ANY wood from the sacred forest yourself. 

You may purchase firewood from the venue, and have a campfire ONLY IN PRE EXISTING FIRE PITS.

YOU MUST MONITOR THE FIRE. 

YOU CAN NOT LEAVE WHILE THERE IS A FIRE GOING. 

Seriously leave no trace.

DO NOT throw cigarette butts on the ground.

DO NOT put empty bottles on the altar or on the deco.

Listen. Pause. Playback. Repeat.

Hey Everyone!

Gil is getting closer and closer....and we are getting more and more excited~ YAY!

I dont really know how many more times, and different mediums I could use to spread this message, but seriously, the Goa Gil Birthday Bash, and the venue are LEAVE NO TRACE.
This is not just good sense.

We will be off of highway 80, in the mountains. Not hills. MOUNTAINS.
You know who else likes to spend time in the mountains? BEARS!
Yes, BEARS.
Not Dancing Bears.
Not a Bear Hug.
I am talking about real life, fuck you up, bears.

The Venue where we will be holding the event is very conscious about their environmental impact on the land, AND on the territory and natural migratory patterns of the local bear population. In order to create a safe space for us AND the bears, the Venue has a very strict LEAVE NO TRACE policy.
This is the only way to keep this beautiful location Bear Free.
I am not kidding.
Bears pass through this beautiful land. Then they LEAVE because there is nothing for them to eat.
DO NOT BE THE PERSON THAT CHANGES ALL THAT.
RESPECT THE LAND. RESPECT THE ANIMALS.

LEAVE. NO. TRACE.


I know that when you show up and check out the space, you will feel like you are in a super nice resort where you dont have to worry about this kind of thing. But seriously. You do. LEAVE NO TRACE.

TAKE YOUR TRASH HOME WITH YOU.
When you are walking around...taking a hike...swimming in the river...and you bring snacks, bring a TRASH BAG for your trash. YES, I mean food scraps as well. DO NOT THROW FOOD SCRAPS ON THE GROUND. 

Also....

It will likely be pretty damn cold at night, and super nice during the day. 
There are some fire pits on site and we will inquire as to whether or not we can use them.
However...there are like 11 fires burning through California right now, so I am going to lean towards a NO.
NEVER leave a fire or camp stove unattended.
NEVER throw a cigarette butt on the ground.
ALWAYS keep all camp stoves elevated.


Hopefully I will post a little map of the location site soon.
A lot of people are wondering what the layout is.

Well....Once you drive in you will be greeted by the Welcome Committee and Gate Crew.
Please have your paypal receipt ready! All you need is a print out.

IF you reserved a car camping/RV spot, YOU MUST PRINT out your receipt and bring it with you as well. THERE WILL BE NO "EXTRA" CAR CAMPING SPOTS. YOU MUST RESERVE A SPOT AND PAY IN ADVANCE.

IF YOU SHOW UP IN AN RV (without letting me know) you will be paying $25, AND you will NOT be in the car camping area. You will be in general parking. I bet you wont be too happy about that. Best to just email me and get your space reserved now!

It seems like every gathering I have to make some exception for a large vehicle full of people.
Guess what...I will NOT be making any exceptions. Lucky for us there is TONS AND TONS of parking space. So if you show up without a car camping pass, and you cant camp without your car you will be camping in the parking lot. End of story. Avoid this tragic situation by EMAILING ME at gilnessisgoodness at gmail dot com

And now something to be really excited about....
There is drinking water on site! It is amazing ancient drinking water from aquifers deep in our planet. Enjoy! 

Location! It's Beautiful!

October 5, 2013

Party Babas are rested and refueled. 

Now we are awakening from our Winter (aka SF Summer) Nap.

And not a moment too soon.

How is it mid August already? 

As we begin our Birthday preparations...

I will be keeping you informed and up to date. 

As always, Party Babas are all about creating a community experience. 

So email, comment, call...whichever! Get in touch!
It's a little early to sign up to volunteer, BUT  it is the perfect time to contact me if you would like to offer a service, have a booth, or teach a class. 

Technically speaking, we are in the heavy planning stages.
Currently we are searching for an amazing location where we can BLAST the sound. 

We have two locations in mind, both new. We will be driving up to check out at least one of these locations this week.  Both of these locations are North of San Francisco, although one of them is kind of more North-East.

We hope to get our locations dialed in before Burning Man.
I will post pictures of the possible locations, and more information as it comes in.

In the meantime, we are open to suggestions.
Do you own some remotely located land? Do you want to host us? Do you have any other recommendations? 

That's all for now kids.....more to come soon....

 

Just a little sexy...

Blatant self promotion!

Party Babas are all about spreading joy and happiness. So is my friend Bubicorn. Bubicorn is visiting from a nearby star system. Planet Intittity, to be exact. Bubicorn is pretty much getting to know Earth, and sharing insight into the universal ways of light and mysticism. Bubicorn is also all about establishing a guerrilla presence in the subconscious minds of all of us. 

Please help me get Bubicorn to the playa this year. 

Check out the Bubicorn kickstarter!

Thanks! 

We got interviews coming up soon!
