From Mister Jellyfish:

>>>You know that excitement you feel right before you leave for the playa?

The tummy butterflies and electrical charge in your back teeth when you know you are about to travel to a world where ANYTHING can happen? That feeling is yours again at Yuri's Night Reno-Compression 2008!

It is T-minus eight days and counting until Saturday, April 12th when our local Burner community comes together for the second annual event that reconnects us with art, friends, music. AND SPACE! I joined a conference call with Yuri's Night organizers in Bulgaria, India, Nigeria, Canada-- all over the world as we prepare to celebrate the anniversary of human space flight and we're all a-flutter! Visit the international website at www.YurisNight.net .

Here's updates and details, which I'll try and condense for you, and more specific info is at the event website www.MutantVehicle.com/yuri.htm .

Dig:

* Because this year's event is at the smaller venues of both Bliss Nightclub and Artspace On 4th St., and the advance tickets are only $10
($12 at the door), there is a chance it could sell out. Stop by The Melting Pot or Prism Magic Clothing to snag your launch passes quick for you and your friends. All proceeds go to the Jackbot and Zsu Zsu playa art installations.

* We will be attempting a large screen live video link with other Yuri's Night events around the world.

* We need a crater full of pillows for the Deep Space Chill Zone, the coziest snuggle pit... IN SPACE! Contact Izard at chaponot@hotmail.com to help.

* Finger food is better than Space Food Sticks, but both will work for peckish cosmonauts at an all-night party. Contact Nathan at
perseverential@yahoo.com so we don't all bring the same chow.

* Bob Noxious is building a rocket and chill pit in a satellite dish. To participate in his work days, roger-beep him at rfclarkson@aol.com .

* Mini-Theme Camp and art placement is going fast. Contact Kernul Killbuck at 4doobers@pyramid.net to reserve your spot... IN SPACE!

* Because the dual venues are across the street from each other, mutant vehicle artists would be perfect for occasional shuttle service. If
you're not street legal, you may get by with a free DMV one-day-move permit. Contact me, Mister Jellyfish at sinktrap@charter.net to coordinate your delicious art car.

* The burn permit is "Go" for outdoor fire performing. Justin Cunningham of Reno Controlled Burn will be in charge of outdoor fire art until
1:00 AM, after that we need a volunteer (he wants to play too!). Show up at the following if you plan to spin or burn:

* Final Yuri's Night Planning Mixer: "Mission Critical" will take place Friday, April 11th, 7:30 PM (eve of the event) at Bliss Nightclub. Please
come prepared by joining our conversations NOW at:

* The Yuri's Night chat board on Tribe: tribes.tribe.net/reno-yuri is where we work out details. When you post there, get ready for a
space-age welcome!

* Zsu Zsu's Game Show will be performed at 11:45 PM at the Deep Space Chill Zone (Artspace on 4th St.). Will the REAL Zsu Zsu stand up?!

Things will be better... IN SPACE!
