Yes it is true, DARK SKIES has a new site and as we said the event is ON for June 19-22, 2008

The new site is on the Mojave Drums Site across the dam near Mead View Arizona about 50 miles due east of Las Vegas on 80 acres of PRIVATE LAND that is custom designed for special events like ours. It's a fantastic site in a dense and magical Joshua Tree forest at 3600 feet elevation with stunning views of the Lake Mead drainage and the Colorado Plateau. There are limited services nearby, and (drum roll please) no neighbors within earshot. Perhaps best of all is that we don't have to pay BLM and Lincoln County over $45,000 to use our public lands. Whoo hoo!

The site IS art car and RV friendly, it will accommodate many more people than we are putting on it and has plenty of room for theme camps, performance areas, and of course ART! It reminds us a lot of the vibe at Madre Grade Monastery where Xara was held in many ways, there be magic afoot here mateys, arrrrgh.

Fire may be an issue and we'll have more on that in the next week or so. As soon as we have some fire parameters we'll post them here.

The Core Team is going out to the site this Sunday morning for another look. After that we'll post the revised budget and announce ticket sales beginning hopefully by next weekend on March 29th.

What a long strange trip it's been. Pictures are definitely forthcoming, we just wanted to get this out immediately to let you know that we are definitely moving this event and that the dates are not changing.

Update: PICTURES!
