The Maze Party has undergone some major changes in the last few days. There is a small faction of the local community who has taken it upon themselves to worry and fret about every conceivable aspect of the event and managed to generate serious concern from every imaginable corner of the authoritative infrastructure.  Much of the trouble has been initiated as a result of long standing family feud that has absolutely nothing to do with us, we just happen to have got stuck in the middle. We have jumped through hoops of all sizes and color this week and each morning a new pile of hoops has presented themselves.  We do not feel that we should subject our friends and family to the drama that is going on around that property this year.  It’s a long and complicated story that we really don’t need to get ourselves involved with.  Rubber bullets and handcuffs.

HOWEVER, IN TYPICAL NEXUS FASION WE HAVE DECIDED THAT THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!

We have made some calls and found ourselves approximately 1200 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains entirely at our disposal and we are going to do it.  We will be setting up as much of the infrastructure of our Burning Man camp as possible on such short notice and everything we had planned for the original maze party on the property.  We’re keeping the lineup, extending the hours, adding DJ slots and making it into a campout.  The only catch is that we can’t announce the exact location on this thread because the spies might be watching.  So the MAZE is still happening, the focus of the maze has just changed.  Instead of wandering through the confines of 8-14 ft. high hay bail walls, now the maze becomes how to find the party.  Good Luck, get on the phone, get on the internet, send a twitter, release a pigeon, figure it out.  I love you, I know you can do it!

If we went through with the old plan we would be at the mercy of entirely too many authoritative powers who would more than likely put a huge damper on our fun.  This way, we can do what we want and all get together and have one of the most memorable weekends of the year.  Have no fear my fellow friends.  Nexus will prevail!

Please note that this event is for ages 18 and up.  If you would like to request a refund because you are underage, or for any of the reasons stated above, please contact Brown Paper Tickets at 1-800-838-3006 before ticket sales end at 9am on Nov. 7th.

Come get lost within the confines of a 2 acre hay bale labyrinth!

I have to declare… that may have been my favorite Stilldream ever. Minor hiccups in the overall plan… An ASTONISHING mix of close friends from almost every corner of my life, including new ones who i am thrilled to know! Incredible laughter and moments of awe over the talent and ingenuity that people contributed to make that event such a whopping success.

Gush Gush… Kiss Kiss…

So before ending this post, i want to extend a special thanks to Paul and the rest of Stilldream crew who busted they ass to make this party happen. And to my village peeps who never fail to wake me up with my own laughter. And of course to Emily, the most supportive and understanding she-pimp on earth.

Until next time… ~S

What is Stilldream?
Stilldream is something different for everyone. Ask anyone who’s been and they’ll have a hard time coming up with the words to describe what it means to them. For some its the vibe, for some its the music, for some its the people. All we can tell you is, “Its not a party, its an experience. You have to go to understand.” All are accepted with no preconceptions about who you are, because in the end we’re all part of the same family!

Stillgreen?
Staying green has never been more important then it is today!. We have the power, why not use it? As Stilldream works on becoming greener every year, how bout you? Are you green? There’s always room for improvement, nobody is perfect but the idea is to do a little bit better everyday. Recycle, Reduce, Reuse! These are 3 things that can help everyone make this a better world for us all to live in and enjoy! Set goals for yourself, see what kind of difference you can make.

What is the Warm up about?
Since many Stilldreamers live in different areas of California, the west coast and the US. The Warm up Events are a way that we can see each other, catch up with old friends, make some new ones and start the planning, preperations and get those creative juices flowing, we can hit the ground running for the main gathering.

So this is it!
Come join us as we reunite the Stilldream Tribe and get warmed up for this years 9 Year Anniversary. All proceeds go directly into the main gathering coming June 19-21st.

E.B.’s 3rd Annual Xmas party & gift exchange:
White X-Mas
Saturday, December 20th
Underground Location (signup required)

$5 with a gift to exchange
$10 without a gift
10pm-7am

Like the last couple “White X-Mas” parties, you’ll get in on the cheap if you bring a wrapped gift valued between $5 & $10 for our little gift exchange. We’ve had terrific fun with this, and I’d have to say that this event has got to be one of the most interactive events of all time. & to really top off this years show, Bam is also going to be celebrating his graduation from “Expression” which is the night before. So if you see him, give him a congrats & a shot….haha.

As always with this party, we will be limiting attendance to keep it smaller, more personal, and comfortable for everyone attending, the last 2 years we had to shut the door down by midnight.

Oh yeah, wear white.

DJ’s for the night:

Aaron Jae (E.B./Space Cowboys)
Bam (E.B./Invibe)
Mozaic (Nexus/Raindance)
Little John (Raindance)
Ben Haus (Acid Totem)
3L3Tronic (Bianca vs. Devo)
Athena vs. Evinrude

2nd room chill DJ’s:

Mr. Projectile
M.O.D. (E.B./Strategik) – special oldskool hip-hop set

unf-ckingreal.

That was such a superb weekend i might have gotten a little emotional about it… if i wasn’t so damn exhausted from 3 solid days of busting ass (while drinking).

Despite a little snag on friday night with a neighbor calling in a noise-complaint… at first i thought we were fucked. They determined that our stage, being closest and pointed right at them, was the cause so our stage was shut down at around 2am. But in an impressive demonstration of positivity and ingenuity, we made the decision to move our sound system to the pool on the opposite end of the property and call it a pool party! Everyone was on board with this idea and we waited until we finally got the go-ahead to start moving stuff… Eugene rallied up 15 party-goers to help CARRY THE GEODESIC DOME that once covered our stage and they set it up as a shaded lounge area next to our poolside booth.

BBQ was served right on time, sunset finally arrived, and i lit up the fire art that I got from Kristen Hoard (kristenhoard.com) and much to my surprise, someone else made 4 large fire burning pedestals and lined the back of our stage with it. It felt like a pool party on the playa. The energy kicked ass for the rest of the weekend and I am still in awe of how everyone pulled together to make our little party the funnest time i’ve had at a campout in a long time! I could not have asked for a better situation!

i’m posting links to the videos and photos i took below… if you have any also, please share!
