Bay Summer Solstice

[Updated June 6th]

Exact details are still being finalized, but here’s the shape of this event. We’ll be heading out to a place where we can barbecue, explore, build things together and watch the sun set on the longest day of the year.

Suggested donations are $15/​$35/​$50+ depending on whether you just moved to the Bay and don’t have a job yet or are one of those 6-figure tech folk.

The overall vision of the event is described here.

We’ll be arranging a big caravan for people who want to head out together.

  • Weekend of the 16th – People who are interested in helping test-build the dome journey out for a Day Of Building The Dome, Noticing What Screws Up, And Devising Final Plans Around That

  • Friday the 22nd – People who want to held set up the day before (constructing domes, gateways and the like), and partake in some special rituals for people who do that, can spend the afternoon/​evening doing that. A small number of people will camp out to watch the site. (We’re currently not expecting to get the permit in time for the a larger camping trip)

  • Saturday the 23rd – A big caravan departs from Berkeley (probably arranging a few cargo vans to drive over from REACH, starting at 1pm and then departing as they fill up). Big Day of Festivities. At the end of day, cargo vans bring people back. A couple people camp out once more to watch the dome and stuff

  • Sunday the 24th – Final takedown of the setup.
