[dorkbotpdx-blabber] LIGHTBAR is under construction!

[Mykle Hansen]

LIGHTBAR is under construction! We're on schedule to for the opening  
ceremony on Saturday, February 7th! However, between now and then we  
humbly request any and all of the following assistance:

ELECTRICAL: help us run 110v power to all corners of the dome! we have  
4 nearby circuits to draw from.

LIGHT: Contributions of light are always welcome! Bring your beautiful  
and/or wide-spectrum light fixtures, or your light-based artworks, or  
your crazy DMX-driven light robots, for installation during part or  
all of our February run.

COLOR: Color-themed evenings abound! If you have a favorite color, and  
would like to assist in the colorization of LIGHTBAR on an evening  
devoted to that color, please get in touch!

VIDEO: Our fiendish plan to construct a complete, integrated  
hemisphere of full-motion video is almost complete! We just need more  
video projectors, and more computers to drive them. (OpenGL video  
cards especially welcome.)

MUSIC: We need about 35 musicians for a public performance of Terry  
Riley's "In C". Must be able to read basic sheet music. (Don't worry,  
it's in C.)

DRINKS: Mixologists unite! LIGHTBAR wants to be your bar! We seek  
donations of light beverages and light-hearted people to mix them. We  
will develop a signature LIGHTBAR drink menu over the course of  
February. Much research awaits us!

SNACKS: LIGHTBAR needs hors d'ovres! Is making grilled cheese  
sandwiches your thing? Let's talk! We have use of a nearby kitchen,  
and are soliciting donations of food for light snacks. A small budget  
exists. You can't just let people starve.

"LASERS": This year LIGHTBAR will feature a full-service planetarium!  
We'd like to back that up with a laser lightshow. Got one handy?  
(NOTE: It's only fun until someone loses an eye.)

HEAT: February is cold! LIGHTBAR seeks a small woodstove for the month  
of February. Ideally it could also make grilled-cheese sandwiches.

CULTURE: Ah, culture! Yes, LIGHTBAR will be stocked like a pond with  
inspiring music, poetry, conversation, art, fashion and joy. But  
there's room for more! Want to curate a night of uplift? Have a talent  
that says SPRING IS COMING? Seeking a brightly-lit geodesic dome for  
your next company off-site or barmitzvah? LIGHTBAR is YOUR Seasonal  
Affective Disorder treatment center! Help us make it special!

WTF?!?:  It's LIGHTBAR!  You know ... LIGHTBAR!  The S.A.D. treatment  
center and glowing festival that materializes every February in  
Portland!  More exciting announcements soon to arrive.  Watch this  
space!

If you can help with any of the above, please send some mail or call  
mykle @ 503-975-5222.  Thanks!
