admin — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 22:50:44 +0000

…ahhh yes, it’s that time again. We only do this 3-4 times a year in summer so join us under the sun at our fully permitted, beautiful park location right by the water while we celebrate our underground music, good people, good times and life. Please repost this and help us promote this party that has been growing strong for 8 years, now being enjoyed in the Bay for the 3rd time…and getting bigger and more fun every time we do it.

Feel free to bring your dogs (but on leash only or you could get sited by a ranger… and pick up after them). Feel free to bring bbq stuff, food, drinks, something to sit your buns on, family & good people. Please respect everything and everyone and bring your good vibez, that’s all we ask.

Come early and enjoy the day!
See your smiling faces there,

Much love!
