Any way you feel into.
Right now, we're imagining some people who would want to help with the sound and lighting. We have three 'stages', each with a sound system and lighting, from complex dmx controlled lighting with 12 channel PA for the sound, to a simple DJ set-up by the pool. The TikiLounge has both DJ and small band stage set-up, with mostly blacklights and 'party lights'. Anyone already familiar with working sound and light mixing boards would be most appreciated. We could use both leaders and helpers in those regards.
In terms of set-up and decorating, we'll have that all done before the party starts - so if you have an urge to help with that, c'mon up the weekend before (see previous post).
During the party, we'd like to have greeters help everyone find the best place to park and camp, and checks off the guest list. We are on private property, and we want to respect our neighbors property, so there's certain land we should and should not be on. YOU can learn to be a greater in 10 minutes or less, then hit the gate for a shift?
We don't need no stinkin' security, b/c there's no one here but us, and 'security' is an illusion at best. So, we would encourage anyone with proclivities of providing security to call yourselves 'designated helpers' or some such. Perhaps carrying tweezers in case someone sleeps with a cactus?
And of course, the main reason I believe we can have such a party, is that we all clean up after ourselves. What a concept! Radical! Personal impact mitigation. LNT. What ever, but thanks in advance for leaving it like you found it.
Oh, and let's avoid comidification as best we can. I know some of the artists / musicians would like to offer you recordings of their works and stuff like that, and pass the hat to help cover them, and that's cool. But lets say 'no vending' in the sense that someone's coming to make money. Maybe next time, but this is just a party :-) Let's practice the gift economy, as a minor offset to disaster capitalism.
Finally, it would thrill me no end if each of you (who have read this far) would commit to yourself to participate in some way that brings joy and life to our gathering, and to do so in colaboration with someone you've never worked / played with before. See if you can hook up with someone / s with whom you can generate a synergy, and create something colaboratively. Spontanaeity and improvization are encouraged. Just a thought ...
