Apogaeans!

The deadline for getting things into the Who What Where When guide for Apogaea 2010 is 11:59 p.m. Sunday May 23!

Got a theme camp and want to promote an event?

Got a workshop and want to let people know about it?

Got a special DJ set and want people to boogie to it?

Burning a giant, community-built effigy and want to be sure people don’t forget to come?

The sooner you get your information in, the sooner we can let the community know about what you’ve got to contribute!

Please include:

1. Is your submission a continuing thing (e.g., a theme camp, art piece), a repeating event, or a one-time-only thing?

2. The day(s) of your event (Apogaea runs noon Thursday June 10 through Sunday June 13)

3. The time(s) of your event

4. A SHORT description (one to three sentences)

5. Location (if you know it. If you’re not sure yet, we can add “stop by the Info Booth for more information.” If that’s the case, please be sure to LET THE INFO BOOTH KNOW your event location/time!)

6. A contact e-mail or phone number (not for the WWWW, but for me to call if I have any questions)

Also, know that Saturday late morning/early afternoon is when many people want to hold their events. Choosing another day or time will increase the chances that people will be able to come to your event as well.

• The Apogaea logo, which you can download here in EPS, JPG, and PNG formats
• The tentative date of the event, June 10th – 13th 2010

*Please note that it is very important to stay within the developing guidelines. Pulling images off of the internet is usually not a good idea because of the low quality issues and copyright violations!

Deadline: 12:01 a.m., February 8, 2010. Send your Questions and/or your submission to email hidden; JavaScript is required. The Apogaea Creative Committee would like to wish you the best of luck!

By popular vote from the community and the Apogaea board, there will be mandatory “Quiet Hours” for sound/theme camps at Apogaea this year.

• Quiet hours will be 6am – 11am on Friday and Saturday and 8am – 11am on Sunday.

This means turn off all generators, and subsequently all amplified music. A few glorious hours of peace and quiet – well, at least a few hours without the megawatts thump of amplified music. That’s enough to get a good nap in. That’s enough to get a good nap in.

Sound levels will be enforced with decibel meters.

Also don’t forget we will be enforcing enclosed generators. Generator noise must not exceed 70dB at 10 feet – that’s about as loud as an average passenger car. Any generator that is found to be in violation will be turned off until the noise issue is remedied with better enclosure techniques. We’re not trying to be Nazis about this, we just need to make sure everyone is being respectful in such a limited, but beautiful space.
