Critical Info:
WALK-INS, DROP-INS are more than welcome at Pharos. There is no price difference. We ain't like dat! We want everyone to come, partake , and enjoy. So come, take a workshop or two and immerse yourself in Pharos.
Parking: You can park wherever you like at ASU for Pharos' workshops. But if you don't park where I'm about to tell you to park, you will be towed ($120). Don't believe me, Valerie and I got towed just 2 days ago. So pay attention. Pharos workshop parking IS the APACHE parking structure located at Normal St and Apache Blvd. Parking is FREE and you don't need a decal (don't let the signs weird you out). If you park anywhere else, it is at your own risk.
The Apache Parking Structure is like 100 feet away from the SRC building. The SRC is located at 400 E. Apache (Normal and Apache). The entrance to the SRC faces North. Once you enter the SRC, there will be signs posted directing you to the workshop areas. There is security at the front desk and they are aware of the event. Just say you are there for the Pharos event and you will be guided to your destination. The workshops are on the second level, on the south end in rooms C and D. We will have personnel there to assist you in "check-in".
At first you will enter the SRC and be overwhelmed. It's big, state of the art, and nice. Get over it. Pharos owns the SRC for Saturday and Sunday... which means you own it as well. You will see the "studio" rooms and your heads will prolly explode. They are nice and clean and modern and have that spongy stuff underneath the hardwood (easy on your footsies), and plenty of mirrors and natural sunlight and massive AC. There is a balcony with a pretty cool view as well (for you dagnasty smokers).
You can bring in beverages, water bottles, and even snacks if you like. However, whatever you bring in, you take out with you. I don't know if the ASU's MU is open on the weekends, but the MU building (not too far away) houses at least a dozen fast food restaurants. It's actually quite sick. ASU has it going on! (our tax dollars at work).
Photography is allowed and Mikel Floorman may even take some professional pics of the workshops.
I hope you all can appreciate how difficult it was to get ASU on board to support these workshops. We've been in constant negotiations with ASU for over a month. In the end, they are proud to support Pharos and support our drum and dance community. They find merit in the workshops being held, and they are behind us. We have over two million dollars of insurance to protect everyone. However, all participants must sign our waiver form at check-in or you cannot participate in workshops and there are absolutely no refunds for any reason.
The Show: Yes, it's open photography! You are allowed to take pics. We just ask that you keep it to a minimum. Constant "flashes" negatively affect the performance groups. Take pics, but be respectful.
If you have questions, post them and they will promptly be answered.
Thanks.
Pharos LIVE is on Saturday, June 14th at The Sets (93 E. Southern) in Tempe, AZ.
Pharos workshops ARE AT ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY IN THE STUDENT RECREATION COMPLEX (SRC) located @ 400 E. Apache (Apache and Normal) in Tempe.
I hope you all come out to support local music, drumming, and dancing. This is a phenomenal show (a don't miss event!), and the workshops are great too!
Thank you for your support and everyone involved in Pharos (about 100 people from our community) hope to see you there.
For those who can't make Pharos, other local events are occuring during the weekend as well: Way out West and I believe Naj is hosting a gathering as well. We wish them the best of luck and will miss them at Pharos LIVE!
