Yuri's Night, Second Annual Reno Compression

(Reno, NV) The Reno Burning Man Community is proud to present Yuri's Night, Reno's second un-offical compression party. It will take place on Saturday, April 12, 2007 beginning at 9pm. The party will be taking place at Bliss Nightclub (located at 535 East Fourth Street, Reno) and at the Studio on 4th (located at 432 East Fourth Street, Reno). This amazing evening will serve to raise funds for local playa art installations "Jackbot" and "Zsu Zsu: The Crybaby Drama Queen."

"We are so excited to be able to continue the Yuri legacy with a second annual Reno Compression and Fundraiser," states Damian Janssen, creator of the Zsu Zsu Project. "It just amazes me as to how much the Reno Burning Man Community has come together over the last couple of years to be able to put on events of this magnitude."

"Celebrating Yuri Gagarin and the Space Shuttle 'Let's Go!'
These were the words spoken by Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin as he embarked on the historic first manned space flight on 12 April 1961. Twenty years later on 12 April 1981, the US launched the first space shuttle flight. We think that's something worth celebrating – so we do! Every year on April 12th Yuri's Night is celebrated all around the world – last year there were over 90 events or parties held in over 30 countries worldwide - and this year looks set to be even bigger. The range of events is as diverse as the people who hold them – even the residents of the International Space Station have been known to join in the fun!
Whether in someone’s living room, a swinging nightclub or a world-class science museum, Yuri’s Night events all have one thing in common - people who are excited about space exploration and who want to join together to celebrate it." Yuri's Night Official Website, www.yurisnight.net/2008/about/about.php.

This event will include mutant theme camps, dancing, a "Deep Space Chill," fire performances by Controlled Burn, "not-quite-ready-for-the-playa" art installations, visuals by Robotronia, and the "Fembots" by Reno Burlesque. Musical entertainment will include d6, Munz, GT, Kevan, Izard, Mister Jellyfish, and plenty of secret astro-guests!
