Gentlemen,
This is just a friendly reminder that early registration for BTW 2008
ends on June 30th. Registrations postmarked after that date will cost
$100 until registration ends on August 17.
There are some fairly big changes taking place at Wisteria this year.
Because they have decided to host the Cornstalk Festival
(www.wisteria.org/cornstalk.htm), Wisteria has been improving
infrastructure in the campground. The Green Faerie Grove and friends
went down there over Memorial Day weekend and helped with some of the
improvements, including framing the new stage and turning the dance
area at Town Green into a sandy space that will be most loverly on the
feet. New wooded camping areas have also been cleared, roads have been
added and improved, and marked camping zones have been established to
make it easier for people to find one another (including in
emergencies). The Faerie Shrine has been dramatically expanded since
last year, and solar-powered lighting has been added to provide a
magickal experience in the middle of the woods. In another exciting
development, Wisteria has also granted us the right to establish our
own queer spirit shrine on the property. This is a topic that was
first broached with them in 2000, and is an exciting development for
us.
Wisteria's new stage, which is now 42 feet wide by 20 feet deep, will
have state of the art sound and lighting systems. In honor of the
spirit of friend****p and partner****p that we have developed over the
last 10 years with Wisteria, the Green Faerie Grove has loaned
Wisteria the money to help them finish their dream stage. In return,
Wisterian Todd Alan has volunteered his services to run the sound and
lighting for BTW.
Sun****ne has worked with us to keep the Meal Plan at the same price as
last year despite the dramatic increase in food prices. Unfortunately,
for those who have gotten accustomed to unlimited return visits for
food, those days are officially over. Furthermore, there will be a
regular ticketed meal at the end of BTW (i.e., no more all-you-can-eat
buffet). These changes will ensure that everyone who has purchased a
Meal Plan will be fed, and will allow Rowan to continue to serve us
without raising prices this year. Our Coffee Diva, Holly, will once
again be with us with her wonderful tie dyed clothing line. She tells
us that she is finally tired of Vietnam, and wouldn't miss her boys
for anything.
We hope that everyone is surviving the weather, economy, gas prices,
politicking and other annoying things that are shaping 2008.
Love and Blessings,
Garan du, Co-Facilitator
Between the Worlds Men's Gathering
