Nighttime pathway lighting (new thread from tangential discussion in #soel-music) For folks who attended Priceless 2019, this excellent installation at the “back” of Belden leading up to the train tracks was a low-investment, low-storage interesting way to “light” a path. If you are interested in exploring this route, I have some of the paint at home. We tried using the paint for pathway marking on stones at SoEl 2019, but the paint behaved much more poorly on porous materials than on paper. cc @bland-answer-10540 @square-country-13088

Bars 1. Dave says he will yes bring a bar and likes being shady and out of the way slightly.

Oh I’m definitely bringing Daves Bar and Lounge to Something Else. I loved being up on the veranda with the shade. I could definitely use some help setting up on Thursday and bartending during the weekend.

2. We don’t have a plan for a beach bar yet but should probably build one. Maybe we should sick one of our “bar leads” on the work of stocking it, decorating it, and/or staffing it?

Theme Camps Get Best Spots in the survival guide we said "Join forces with other folks and make something cool to please and entertain your friends. You'll get the best camping spots and some bucks to help you pull it off." Should we try to do this? • Ebb & Glow • Seas of Subconscious • Magic Lantern Society • Roar n Smore

friends and i are talking about where to camp -- haven't really been involved in placement thinking -- what is "taken" besides • loggers (music) • at least some of great oak (music/interactivity) ? 🙏

Joseph & Merisa didn't buy tickets and decided that bc we are going to comp their tickets, that is fine. Now they clarify that they cannot afford tickets bc they have spent so much on their project (?) Anyway, I'm inclined to give them free tickets and if they don't deliver we just eat the cost. I don't see another realistic option at this point. @square-country-13088

Sm’roars: they’re going to draw power from the pond house, right? Is the idea that they go along the road immediately north of the pond house? Or they go on the other side of the pond house? Or maybe make an alliance with pond house and use their porch? Or just figure it out onsite? Confused and concerned about momz

I have reinstated the “Art Decko” as a location. Dave’s bar will set up there, but it’s also a great spot for the brunch crafting crew to rock out.

@clean-army-21719 Can you handle reimbursements for art grants? I think we have • SOS at $200? • Motorboating for $100? • Musical Instrument library was $200 but Jason was a super dino so maybe 400? idk what else

Project proposal from Dylan Modell

My art project is the Cock-Climbing Wall. It is a bouldering climbing wall where all the hand/foot holds are genitalia or just funny body parts. Think penises, vaginas, mouths, butts, tentacles, dino-dicks. Only limited by participant imagination. It's supposed to be a purely comedic project, meant to break taboos and provide a fun day-time activity. Maybe I'll get to introduce people to the world of bouldering, that would be great because it is a passion of mine.

I'm organizing a few arts and crafts days where people can sculpt a hold using planter foam (this is common amongst hold makers). From there I will create a silicon negative mold and finally a resin mold.

The grant money would go towards a larger variety of hand holds, taller bouldering wall with more routes, and on-site hold crafting for the first day of the event. I believe both the climbing and the crafting would add extra variety to the event's experiences offered to participants for not just this year but years to come! This is something that can be added to and expanded upon every year. I also would love to have this installation to be used at many other arts events in the future and so this grant would enrich a variety of experiences for years to come.

Below is a summary of how I would distribute the grant. I would supplement what's below to the best of my abilities to build a greater experience depending on what I can personally afford, etc.

• $500

◦ 10 small holds made pre-event

◦ 8' bouldering wall

◦ Crash pads

• $1,000

◦ 13 small holds made pre-event

◦ 10 medium holds

◦ 2 large holds / volumes

◦ 12' bouldering wall

◦ Crash pads

• $2.000

◦ 22 small holds made pre-event

◦ 15 medium holds made pre-event

◦ 3 large holds / volumes

◦ 8 small holds made at event with participants

◦ 16' bouldering wall

◦ Custom furry crash pads

◦ Lighting for night-time use? Requires some technical know-how that has been offered by a couple people from the Nocturne X crew and depends on their level of involvement.

I think we should offer $1k and 2 comp tickets. This sounds pretty good and I think he'll deliver. Thoughts?

<!channel> Hey let's have a working session in the next 2 weeks! It could be 1hr online where we just reach out to people from our list and check in on where we're at, what we've heard back Some obvious action items • Gene respond to Dylan about climbing wall. This is almost a done deal (see above in this channel), but Gene blocking? • Liz and Andie want to do a project for free tix. Need to reach out • Sean Stevens is excited to come, but only talking to Dave about sound right now. Could do more July 19th lunch? July 19th evening? July 21st lunch? evening?

Art fiends: • Please share the Art RFP form with anyone you know who is interested in doing art so we can keep summarized info in one place • Anyone we've already been talking to (like Dylan Modell), we can add specific data to the form submission answer spreadsheet in these restricted-access (to me/chuk/gene) columns that I've added to assist with art placement. Add other columns as you see fit!
