Once again there will be an EarthlingZ Gathering at The Greenhouse during the Obon holidays.
Since there are many other events during the weekend of 12-14 August, we will be expecting more people to attend during the holidays following the weekend, from 14-17 August.
If you will be spending the O-bon weekend at a full-on dance party, what could be better than to spend the rest of the holidays in the contemplative atmosphere of The Greenhouse, listening to psychill and live ethno-ambient, eating delicious food, and perhaps going swimming at the nearby lake or visiting one of the local onsens?
This year Obon has special significance for me. It is the occasion when one expects the spirits of relatives to visit their earthly places of origin, and my daughter Radha, whom many of you have met, will be here for her first visit in two years, in body as well as spirit. This will be a good occasion for all of her friends to come and meet with her again, while enjoying the music and tasty food we plan to make available. But it is not a private party, so don't stay away simply if you don't know Radha. There should be many other EarthlingZ here.
The music will be freeform, with DJs and live musicians, and opportunities for spontaneous jamming.If you are a musician, VJ or other kind of artist interested in attending and performing, please contact me beforehand, and we can discuss compensation.
The entry fee will be 1500 yen for as many days as you choose to stay,and you will be asked to buy 2500 yen's worth of EarthlingZ money to be used to pay for food and beverages. As it is mainly food sales that make the income needed to cover Greenhouse costs, we must ask that you not bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks. As The Greenhouse is a no-alcohol zone, we also ask that if you do bring beer or other alcoholic beverages, that you consume them outside or in The Whitehouse (the other building we have next door). There will be other non-alcoholic beverages available in the kitchen, which will operate in cafeteria style.
In this hottest time of the year, it's great to have a good place to swim.. People attending the Obon Gathering at The Greenhouse may be interested to know that only a few minutes drive away there is a large, beautiful and clean lake where it is possible to swim, and where there are rarely any other people doing so.
If you are a musician who is interested in playing at the EarthlingZ O-Bon Gathering , please contact me. If we agree about the date, I can offer free entry.
