[William]

I have a laser handy.  Smoke machine too.  Got anything in particular in mind that you want it to do?

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!
