Our two favorite artist collectives, The Flaming Lotus Girls and FLUX Foundation are throwing fund-raisers to build more art (and get out of debt from building past works that blew minds as well as budgets). And we’re happy to lend our skills to their worthy cause.

- In the Red: The Flaming Lotus Girls –

You need more art. You want the Flaming Lotus Girls spread across your wall, 24/7. Yes you do. And so do your friends. Come to our photography show, buy our signed archival prints and have a damn fine evening of dancing with Ambient Mafia and the Space Cowboys DJs.

Music by Space Cowboys DJs: Deckard 8ball & Erik Hz

Ambient Mafia: Olde Nasty, DJ Unagi, Redstickman, Mo Corleone

Ghost Ship 2011 : The Afterlife

Saturday October 29th, 2011 9PM – 4AM

The Bay Area’s most eagerly anticipated Halloween celebration is back for its fourth year and better than ever. Featuring an enormous space packed with multiple sound areas, more than 30 of the Bay Area’s finest Djs and performers, performance artists, mindboggling art cars including the UNIMOG, and an enormous array of large-scale artwork made available for your viewing pleasure on this one night only! Be sure to get your limited refill coffee from the Dust City Diner! We are proud to feature for the first time off-playa, Peter Hudson’s brand new, acclaimed interactive stroboscopic zoetrope piece Charon, as well as this year’s incredible Ghost Ship.

With an array of DJ talent hailing from the Bay’s finest crews, and an audience that comes dressed literally to kill, it’s easy to see why Ghost Ship has sold out in advance every year.

Art & Music hosted by the talented crews of The Space Cowboys, DISTRIKT, Pink Mammoth, Hookahdome, Janky Barge, SEISMIC, Slayers Club and more will be on this year’s bill.
