Yuri's Night Bay Area
2pm - 2am, April 12th, 2008
NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA
This year the San Francisco Bay Area will be home to the largest Yuri's Night celebration ever. At the NASA Ames Research Center over 8,000 people will join astronauts, artists, musicians, scientists and engineers to learn, celebrate, and pay tribute to our global space heritage. Yuri's Night Bay Area 2008 is a one-of-a-kind local community event: a perfect fusion of celebration and tribute, technology expo, Maker Faire, art exhibition, and music festival; all rolled into one.
Yuri's Night Bay Area 2008 includes:
* A world-class lineup of musical artists, ranging from the electronic
breakbeat sounds of AMON TOBIN, TIPPER, and JOHN TEJADA to rockin' live
performances by FREEZEPOP, PARTICLE, and the very special debut of
TELSTAR, featuring PHIL LESH of the Grateful Dead.
* A mind-expanding series of speakers, including STEWART BRANDT, founder
of THE LONG NOW FOUNDATION and creator of the WHOLE EARTH CATALOG;
and world-renowned video game designer WILL WRIGHT, creator of SimCity,
SimEarth, The Sims, and many other games including his exciting upcoming
game of life, evolution, and exploration: SPORE.
* Live performances of all kinds, from dance and acrobatics by CAPACITOR
(San Francisco's ground-breaking interdisciplinary dance company) to
aerial demonstrations featuring Yuri-Gagarin-era AEROBATIC AIRCRAFT.
* Dozens of art and science installations spanning everything from NASA
research ROBOTS to the unveiling of the newest fire sculpture by the
FLAMING LOTUS GIRLS.
* Discussions and forums where event attendees will get the chance to
take on some big questions surrounding Space Exploration, Radical
Sustainability, and the Future of Humanity in our Festival of Ideas.
* ...and much, much more! Browse the partial list below!
Tickets are available on-line for $40 (plus applicable fees). A limited number of tickets may be available for $50 at the door -- check the website for status.
We hope to see you there!
