[SpaceCowboys-Announce] GHOSTSHIP 2008 - Space Cowboys rock Treasure Island 11/1!

[andrea l]

Hello Space Cowboy friends, followers, family & freaks!

Happy spooky season to you all.  And by spooky I don't just mean Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, or critical mass.  Sarah freaking Palin!  Yes, she is an easy target and easier Halloween costume.  Pink camo or $150K Saks?  
Vote already people!!  Early, absentee, whatever you have to do.  Things are looking positively blue in this state, but don't forget the poor suckers in Ohio, Florida & Pennsylvania.  There is even an Obama app for your iphone that sorts your contacts by swing states.  I love California!  And I love San Francisco.  And you know what I love more that CA & SF!  The Space Cowboys!!

I am so proud to tell you about the work and love that is going into the GHOSTSHIP party.
On November 1st at 10pm you will all be able to climb aboard.  After slinking through our Haunted House and bouncing off the padded room and leaping over the magic mushrooms, join us as our ship sets sail for a non-stop night in the middle of the bay.  Treasure Island is the perfect host for our night of fun and merriment.  

With over 25,000 square feet of space to fill, we invited a few friends to bring their work.  The Flaming Lotus Girls, the Steam Punk Treehouse folks, THERM, Michael Christian, Orion Fredricks, Liam McNamera, and the Department of Spontaneous Combustion are working away to get it up and set it up for you to enjoy.

We will have art cars abound!  The Space Cowboy's Unimog is the captain of our ship, with Martha as her dainty skipper.  The Disco Limo and Mr. Janky bus will surround the Mog in true Hoe Down style, with the Gansesh bus from the Garage Mahal camp and the Covered Wagon Jimmy from the Manyfest Destiny camp.  Bring your cameras for all the flash poses you've always wanted to take in front of the Limo!

There will be three rooms of sound with the best DJ talent this city has to offer.  No international superstars can match the talent and dedication of the music slingers we have lined up.  Space Cowboys, The Deep End, House of Lotus, Brass Tax, SEISMIC...all synonymous with high quality music and packed San Francisco dance floors.

All I can say is get their early to reserve your dance floor space.  How do you get to Treasure Island?  Have you lived in SF for 8 years and never stopped off to check the views?  SHAME ON  YOU!  We make it easy for you.
You can drive - carpool, no less.  We have a large parking lot that we hope you will file into nicely and accurately.
You can take a bus!  A biodiesel shuttle will pick up GHOSTSHIPPERS on the corner of Larkin & Grove and bring you to the front door of GHOSTSHIP.  Free!  Shuttle runs from 10:30-4:30 and is first come first serve.
The Muni 108 bus runs every 45 MINUTES starting at 9:30PM in from the transbay terminal, and buses run all night back into the city.  We are also letting the taxi companies know that there will be frolicking fares on the island, so be kind to your drivers!

PRESALE TICKETS are on sale for $15 at Groovetickets.com.  We will be raising presales to $17 on Saturday October 25th, and after that allotment is gone they will be sold for $20.   In costume at the door, admission is $20.  Without costume (and with much heckling) admission is $30.  We have a huge ship to float, if you catch my drift.

Hope to see you next week!

xx
Andrea
