Hail there, All,


As most of you now know,
I have decided to introduce
the cafe/teahouse that I have
been running at medieval fairs
into this wonder-filled arena
of eletronica/psytrance that
I have recently rejoined
after being distant
for ten years.

The teahouse/kasbah has popularly
been known as "The Elysian Dream"
which means, the dream of paradise.
In past fairs it has manifested as a
Viking "FriendShip" and, at times,
it takes the form of a Lighthouse.

Here is a fairly complete list of
the items and supplies that I have
assembled in Portland for the Psy-cicle
Winter Soulstice event. It is near guaranteed
that there will be snow on the ground, so...
hot beverages and other delights for
our creature comforts will be
very nice to have aplenty.

I also listed below the items that I have in Eugene,
with the rest of my pile o' booty. I may be able
to manage a trip there before the event.
In the case that I am unable to, I also listed
the missing items should anyone be interested
in donating to the dream, bartering, or contributing...
for the benefit of All who choose paradise.

---====={========--------------------- *

Supplies currently in Portaland:

Custom incenses
4 Turkish Coffee Ibriks
16 cup stove top percolator
50? cup electric percolator
8 shot stove top espresso maker
8 cup glass tea "ball" steeper
single cup tea steeper
wide assortment of bagged teas
green & black loose teas
5 canisters instant chai base (11 servings each)
2 oz of supplimentary chai spice
3 tea ball steepers
1 lid resting tea strainer
5 lbs white sugar
1 1/2 lbs brown sugar
assorted spices for food
5 insulated pump pots for liquid
1 cooler (won't be critical in the cold weather LOL)
1 4' square portable table
1 2' circular " "
1 8' X 10' cabin tent
1 6' X 8' cabin tent
1/2 gallon lamp/tiki fuel

Please note that I don't hassle with food service
but there's a very good possibilty that Open Heart cafe
will be collaborating for this event. I talked with Jared today
and we will converse again tomorrow night at the Cathedral.

---====={========--------------------- *

Requests:

[Please bring your own insulated mugs
as I do not have enough for everyone and
such items will prove invaluable in the climate.]

To-go cups
Tapestries*
Hookah/shisha
Stove/fuel preferably propane*
Liquor/Hard Alcohol**
Shelter Pavilion/Canopy

*: see items in Eugene below

**: Alcohol would be nice for
keeping us warm and jolly.
I don't recommend bringing
lot's of beer as it will make for
more trips to the bushes/biffies,
which seems like it would be
more of a bother for ladies.

With a fifth of Everclear
I can make a gallon of Mokahlua
(aka Merlin's Magnificent Mocha Magic.)
It is a nice chocolate coffee liquor which
brings us up almost as much
as it mellows us out.

With BarronJaeger (honey liqueur), I can make "Elysian Bliss,"
which has a similar effect as Mokahlua,
but uses chai instead of coffee.

---====={========--------------------- *

Items currently in Eugene:

20 tiki torches
4 exotic tapestries
Abundant candles/
candlesticks and holders
2-2 burner kerosene camp stoves

Items we can never have enough of:

honey
chocolate
coffee/tea
candles/torches
charcoal disks for incense/shisha
pillows/blankets
whipped cream
condoms
sugar & spice
and everything nice ;)-


Please respond here
or by personal message
if you plan to bring any of
these suggested supplies.
(As it just may save me a trip
down to Eugene (Adiantum.)
Investing in paradise is
a good thing indeed.

Blessed Be,

    I also make the teahouse favorites
    available to folks who love
    outside of events.

    Let me know if you would like
    a special delight to take with you
    for sharing with your families/circles
    when you travel the winds and seas.

    I especialy enjoy providing my gifts
    for those of us who chose to travel
    for diplomatic purposes in service to
    the greater circle of "that which WE are."

    I was planning on making a gallon of Mokahlua
    to raise funds for the upcoming event,
    place your order if you'd like ;)-


    Cheers & blessings,
    yours truly in service,

      Sat, January 20, 2007 - 5:46 AM
      I was considering introducing another
      specialty drink in the DreamHouse
      (probably for Burning Man.)

      I would really appreciate suggestions
      for the ingredients--anyone who has read
      the series, "HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy--"
      yep, you guessed it, the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster!
      (If D. Adams protests, then I'll serve him one sure to satisfly!)
      Then WE can speak about royalties when he re-enters.

      Soul, the assistance would be greatly appreciated ;)-


      Yours, very truly,
      in service to the dream,

        Perhaps I can be your assistant this Equinox?
        I'm a heckova werker. And I have a chai recipe from India that is NUMMY that I'd love to share with you.
        Now if only I could get the recipe for bhang lassis. :)

          O.o that sounds great, lass.

          I am looking forward to the many adventures
          that lay ahead of US (Universal Souls.)
          I've been waiting for the right people
          who have all the right stuff--
          the best of the best,
          shall I venture to say...
          each of us play our parts
          in the larger orchestar-tion
          that works through US All.

          I learned a while ago that
          I cannot do all the things
          that I am interested in...
          everything is a tall order.

          Soul, finding others
          that stand on this
          common ground
          has been my
          intention* ];}-

          Ai, chai is a big part
          of the Elysian Dream.
          I've wished to introduce
          baklava and other delights,
          in due time...incremental growth,
          of paradise, and of the XcellularNation.

          To get to what's real... *

          p.s. Its awesome for me to fathom
          the limitless possibilities of the fleet--
          the Elysian Dream is but one of many.
          WE have discussed the possibilities
          of the other ships more frequently
          as of late...the kitchen, the bar,
          the casino, the stage...
          far too vast for one ship.

          Now we're talkin',-=}-


          Thanks for your input--

            Advisory for Krew Personnel:
            Concerning the Elysian Dream


            Hail there, All,

            To appraise you of "plans within dreams" ;}

            The ship should be rollin' in
            to YouGene mid-afternoon.
            Will be meeting Krew there
            and focus on setting up
            the DreamHouse first,
            when it is well along,
            can help for the event.

            The resource list is mostly
            the same as before, however,
            I need to look into obtaining
            another table or two and
            a canopy for to hang
            the sign from.

            The word is that there is not
            enough room indoors to set-up,
            so it will be an outdoor teahouse,
            probably connected to the new bus.
            I figure it will be convenient to be in
            the general area of the smokers.

            Anticipating hot chocolate, chai,
            and coffee being the main items.
            I am bringing the espresso maker
            and the turkish coffee Ibrik's also.

            The interest that I have received
            lately gladdens my heart and gives me
            tremendous hope for the dream of paradise.

            I give thanks for You...
            again and again and again,
            I love and in light, Yours, very truly,

            BaccKus

            Prime Ambassador Shizlan
            of the Elysian Fleet of FriendShips

            p.s. Anyone wish to dream up,
            and form another ship? The limits are:
            the extent of your imagination...share with US.
            WE greatly encourage, support, and welcome You.

            Oh yeah, I have been meaning to address this topic:

            One crucial thing I did not make clear
            for the PsyCicle was that WE need
            space to accommodate facets
            of other ships functions when
            they are condensed into one.

            Normally, the kitchen/restaurant
            is an entirely separate ship. Therefore,
            when there is only one fleet ship present,
            at an event, then WE need to ensure that
            we have enough tables and space to
            expand all the dimensions.

            Interaction and collaboration
            is greatly encouraged, and WE
            need to make sure that the
            crucial components to
            make everything work
            together arr present.

            Basically, it comes down to this:
            PLEASE do, bring the components
            you need to present your dream;
            bring what you need to make,
            "self-sufficient," the gig that
            you have to offer the collective,
            (unless arranged ahead of time)
            and when WE are together, WE see
            how what we have gathered mingles,
            and keep track of who's stuff is who's
            (as well as is realistically possible.)

            WE may not have it all together,
            but together, WE have it all ;)


            I/WE give thanks,
            and You arr welcome,

              Hail there, All,


              It wasn't clear if I/WE would be able to
              move the teahouse back up to Portland
              for the relocation of this show, but,
              earlier today, a solid plan solidified.

              As it looks now, we do not have cheeses
              or breads lined up for snacks, but,
              we did pick up a mountain of
              food box rations today
              at the Catholic Community
              Services office. We recieved
              a good amount of items that
              would work for finger-food.

              I also, personally, made a
              great score of half-price
              discontinued black-tea
              at the New Frontier Market.
              Goddess, I love Eugene :)

              For this event, we will have representatives
              from two of the ships, and training
              the perspective captain for
              a new kitchen FriendShip
              to be based out of Eugene.

              Currently, we don't have a
              large quantity of coffees,
              and I am not sure of
              the chai situation,
              so I am going to
              be bringing what
              I need to make chai...
              out of nothing at all ;)-

              I have all my basic equipment
              including my two tables
              coming with me in Luna--

              I'm bringing up another
              scaled down version
              of the lighthouse
              manifestation
              of the Elysian Dream--
              if you want the Viking Ship,
              we'll have to rendevous at
              one of the rennaissance faires
              that we have coming up this summer.


              On that note, here is an exerpt from
              a recent conversation concerning a
              near future course projection for
              the Elysian Dream/Fleet in Springtime:

              That is a big question--
              Next show after this one, I do believe
              will be Babylon Meltdown on March 10th,
              then, after that will be the Mojave desert
              TimeShift, over the weekend of March 17th,
              but I am not certain whether
              or not I can make that one...
              question is of income
              between then & now.

              After that is the kickoff for the EarthLight
              Project in Portland on the 24th of March.
              It is projected to be huge beyond belief
              and the time to get in the line-up is now.

              This one is in association with City Repair,
              as Earth Light is undoubtedly the most
              ambitious adventure to come out
              of their organization yet...
              after that is...well, lets
              leave it at that for now.

              I do hope that you know about
              the contact festival around
              the time of Summer Soulstice ;}


              That's all for now, onward!
              to the next adventures...

              Cheers & Blessings,
