**About the gathering**
This is not a professionally produced event. This is a DIY communal gathering in a private, queer-owned space. So yes, we're asking everybody to pay so we can make this happen. And we're asking everybody who attends to volunteer something: setup, kitchen help, or cleanup.
**Location**
We'll announce location & give driving directions to ticket holders the week of the gathering.
The gathering is at a private queer-owned retreat center under redwoods in a secluded valley approx. 2.5 hours north of San Francisco.
The venue has the following:
- group cabins w/ bunk beds and mattresses enough to sleep 80
- a full commercial kitchen + indoor dining hall
- showers and bathrooms
- electricity & plumbing
- outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi
- a yurt and great room for other stuff to happen in
- lots of room to wander
- indoor + outdoor dance space
Parking space is very limited. Please plan to carpool.
**Cost**
$175 advance registration
$200 at the gate
That covers:
- generator, fuel, sound system and lights
- a bed (for the first 80 people that register)
- 2 communal meals a day (w/ vegan option)
- snacks and drinks and some beer
- plates, utensils etc
The first 80 to rgister are guaranteed bunk beds in the cabins. The rest should plan to camp in tents (BYO). It'll be clear when you buy your ticket whether there are beds left.
You bring:
- pillow & sleeping stuff
- we take care of everything else
**Special info for travelers**
If you're making the effort to come into to town and need help sourcing camping gear, you can let us know in the questionnaire you fill out before paying. We're going to have an organized effort to make sure that everybody has access to a tent.
**Help out**
We have free rein over the venue, but we are responsible for setting up, cooking, and cleaning up after ourselves. Everybody will be asked to contribute something -- setup, help with meals, or clean up.
**Cancellations & refunds**
It's less than two weeks to go until the gathering. At this point all registrations are final.
**FAQ**
Is it at Groundswell again?
No. It's at another queer focused retreat center that has a history of hosting sound events and will allow us to bring more campers and not drive the neighbors insane. We're releasing the address in April.
What time does it start? What time is it over?
You're welcome to arrive Thursday April 7th at 7pm. We'll still be setting up it -- it'll be a wonderful chance to hang with a slightly smaller crowd in a quieter setting before most people show up on Friday. We probably won't have any music going until pretty late Thursday night or Friday morning.
We'll start breaking down Sunday April 10th after brunch and will be off the property by 4pm.
I want to play music. How do I do that?
We've been talking to people about playing this lineup for nearly a year already, and by now there's a fairly long waiting list for a limited number of spots. Both schedules for the indoor and outdoor space are already full.
I want to bring art. Can I do that?
YES! Once we get an idea of what ideas people have we'll let you know in what ways we might be able to help.
I have an idea for something to volunteer but it's not on your list. Can I do it?
Let's talk! There are lots of additional spaces besides our two dance floors that we're deliberately leaving unprogrammed, and those are open for you to create in. Please let us know what you have in mind.
What's the weather going to be like?
We were lucky this past April and had a early spring heat wave during the gathering with temps in the low 80s. We've got fingers crossed it'll be that warm again but are expecting it to be cooler than that. Usually by April winter rains are all done, so we're expecting it to be dry.
What do I need to bring?
Not much. And we'll send out an email closer to the event with suggestions about what you should bring with you. You don't need to bring any food.
I avoid certain foods. Will you take care of me?
Yes. There's a questionnaire here that will ask you about diet and allergies. We're planning so most of our dishes can be made with or without animals in them.
Can I get a ride with somebody? Can I borrow a tent?
Probably yes! We're going to be a little more organized re: helping people find rides and borrow tents.
Will there be showers and electrical outlets?
Yep, and toilets and water fountains.
I need to sleep near an electrical outlet. What if the cabins are all sold out?
Hey CPAP qweens we got you. As long as your tent is somewhere near a building we will run power out to you. Just let us know beforehand so we bring enough extension cords.
Wifi? Phone service?
Don't count on either. We're in a secluded valley.
Is the pool heated?
Nope. But the jacuzzi is right next to it. You'll figure something out.
How about ADA compliance?
We're very happy that we're at an ADA compliant place this year. If you need to be in a cabin with wheelchair access we can make that happen. The dining hall and dance floor are also wheelchair accessible.
Can I bring an RV?
Yes! There is room for RVs, though there are no RV electrical or gray water hookups.
