Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Join us, even if you have broken your vow

Join us, yet again, draw near, come close..."

Join us for this year's Free Fall Fest Harvest Homecoming weekend in Las Vegas, from October 23rd to the 26th!. Fall Fest is our annual free four day long event, held in and around Las Vegas, and is a community celebration of Harvest and Gratitude.... 

Thursday October 23rd, join us for a community potluck Harvest Feast of Friends, here at our home, 3132 Shadowridge Ave, Las Vegas, at 7pm.  Please RSVP to me at 702-450-0021 if you plan to attend. Please bring your own plates and utensils as we're getting more and more environmentally friendly. Bring your friends, your well-behaved children, your musical instruments, your stories, and other magical surprises to delight and enchant us all!
Come re-connect the strands of our community web as we share the stories of our summers and our plans for the rest of the year.  There is no charge for this evening, but please do bring a delicious dish to share with friends as we nurture and nourish each other. No fast food, no meat, please.

Friday evening, October 24th,  at the Sound Traxx show room at Palace Station, we will go, en masse, to see JEFF MCBRIDE: MAGIC AT THE EDGE, our full length magic show, followed by The WITCHES AND WIZARD'S BALL!  Doors will open at 7pm. We will have special two for one tickets to the show, and entrance to the Ball will be free with your ticket stub! Live dj music from Master Leo Diaz, special midnight ritual, and lots of astonishing wonders await! Creative and festive costumes and masks are encouraged but not required. 

Saturday, October 25th from dusk til sunrise, we will gather at the Goddess Temple in Cactus Springs, forty minutes away from Las Vegas.  The evening will commence with Desert Moon Circle facilitating the opening ritual, a ceremony of honoring the shifting seasons of the year, and honoring our intentions for the rest of the night's magick... Special altars will be created by Kaya, contact her at moonshadow2@cox.net if you'd like to help create the visual, artistic magic of the night. After the ceremony, we will go straight on into our all-night sacred fire circle, drumming, dancing and singing up the sun. 

If you'd like to make a donation of firewood or money to the Goddess Temple, please feel free to do so, but there is no fee for this evening's event.  Please remember to bring warm clothes- (the desert gets chilly this time of year), plenty of water to drink and to share, finger food snacks for the food altar, drums and instruments, chants and poetry, chairs and a flashlight. No pets, drugs or alcohol, please.

Sunday evening, October 26th, starting at 7pm, we will gather here at the House of Mystery, for an enchanted evening of Community Relaxation and Re-Integration. There will likely be time for sharing music, magic or other mysteries. Please bring food and drink to share, as well as your plates and utensils, and whatever you need to serve your offering. Please RSVP to me at 702 450 0021 and let me know if you'll be joining us....

We want to send out a huge and special thank-you to Morganne Baum and Rae Schwartz for doing such an excellent job of maintaining the Vegas Vortex site, and to Erin Doleshall for all her help with our graphics and printing needs.  If you have special skills that you'd like to donate to the Vegas Vortex, please let us know; many hands make light work for all! It is likely we'll have out of town guests coming to Las Vegas for this incredible weekend; please keep an eye on the Vegas Vortex discussion list and consider opening your homes to friends from far away!

Registration for Fall Fest will be open soon at www.vegasvortex.com There is no registration fee for this year's Fall Fest Weekend, but please do register so we can make sure to have enough surprises and goodies for everyone!

We look forward to seeing you all for an incredible weekend of gratitude, celebration and homecoming!

In love,
Spinner, Jeff & all your friends in the Vegas Vortex
