A Path : Anodyne

Along all paths in this world, there is the constant of change to propel us into the future. Necessary to change are the break down and rebuilding of all things physical and mental. Come take apart or repair yourself in preparation for any and all tomorrows. Within your being is the ability to ameliorate this process. At A Path: Anodyne, we supply the ingredients and atmosphere to launch you into a mode of construct or deconstruct. At the Divination Dome, you can pick the method in which a possible future is told by our well-versed campmates. We will make a suggestion which you can choose whether or not to observe. You will be expelled down a lush rolling path surrounded by our growing Lost/Found Forest, where you’ll come to a fork in the road: choose your direction, Construct or Deconstruct. Once in the sanctuary of another dome, we ask you to observe, reflect, and write; quelling any fear of change, inspiring hope, and motivating you with mental materials to strengthen your path toward the future.
Following this, you’ll emerge into our Elucidation Space, where lounging and creation is encouraged. We will supply odds and ends from which you can create a physical or sonic reflection. Choose to place your creation in our Lost/Found Forest or wear it home with you.
EVERY MORNING from 10 AM to NOON: Everyone is welcome for our daily nourishment session of green eggs and ham, an anodyne favorite.

And help us discover the stories Lost Luggage can tell. And did we mention the AeroNaughty stewardesses? Stop by daily Wed-Sat to earn your Stewardess Academy Diploma.

AOXOMOXOA

“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” -William Blake

Meanwhile, Back Door Man penetrates & breaks on through to the other side only to discover there is no chicken offered @ the Horse Latitudes Bar & Grill. Perplexed, the Back Door Man, in the end, decides when he wakes up that he should have another beer since the future is uncertain and the end is always near. Meanwhile, St. Stephen hates the sin but loves the sinner. After all, he too is just another rider on the storm. Cosmic Charley just smiles.

AquaZone

Come taste Hope at the AquaZone AquaLove Water Bar.

Love your water, love your body! Did you know that words like LOVE and GRATITUDE and HOPE can actually realign the molecules of water to their original and pure crystalline state? And words like FEAR and HATE and FOOL can destroy any alignment. So be careful what you say to your water! (and to yourself, and to the Earth, since you and the Earth are mostly water too!). At the AquaLove Water Bar, we’re serving up all kinds of re-aligned water –- each vessel has been labeled and spoken to with words of hope to provide you with water at its best. Come sample the delicate flavors of all different kinds of waters, from all over the globe. Try side-by-side comparisons and blind taste tests. Bring a sample of your own hometown water and see if you can discern the subtle shades of you’re familiar water from those of waters from elsewhere. See Masaru Emoto’s electron microscope photographs of water crystals before and after the water was exposed to words of hope, or fear. Open 3pm – 6pm Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The AquaDome will be open any time just to chill, connect, find out more about how Hope and Fear affect your water, and to re-align!

Atelier Rusette

Atelier Rusette (Studio of Little Tricks at New Amsterdam Village)

Atelier Rusette’s team of crafty, creative ladies of leisure foresaw a dark and terrible time in man’s history – they amassed art supplies in their quaint bunker, “Le Petite Fleur de Lis”, and settled down to wait out the end of everything as they knew it.

Later, after a Bordeaux-enhanced enchanted slumber, they would emerge and open their dusty little studio to the citizens they discovered above their craft-lair, the residents of New Amsterdam Village and Black Rock city, gifting their supplies and art of chenille-stem crowns and tiaras to the characters of the new world order

Audrey’s

Everything we need to know, we learned in Kindergarten – and we’ve been forgetting it ever since. Suddenly, here we are, all grown up. Facing corrupt institutions bent on reducing us to simple-minded citizen-consumer-zealot-zombies. The world was supposed to be in our hands … but it’s going to hell in a hand basket.

Or is it? Maybe we’ve been working too hard to get ahead. Trying too hard to fit in. Struggling too hard with life’s unending dilemmas. Living so long inside the box that we can’t even imagine an “outside.”

Audrey feels our pain. In fact, she felt so much pain after last year’s Brain Wash & Set that she spent the winter in a prestigious Bavarian sanatorium. While there, guess what she found, playing in a sunny meadow far from melting glaciers, mercury-laced tuna, car bombs and Tom DeLay?

Her inner child….and the fabulous Staggering Libido Sisters!

So, after a lifetime of “growing up,” Audrey’s grown back down…! Now she’s back….and she’s brought her new found, lip syncin’, big hair, high heeled, diva dancing, drama filled drag Sisters back to the playa to teach us all we need to know, like:

You can trust strangers (even scary drag divas)
Humans have a profound need to connect (and sometimes hook up)
Love is all we need (but anything with vodka is nice)

And if there’s one thing Audrey knows, it’s how to have fun… So bring your inner child over for a play date and let Audrey and her Sisters have their way with YOU!
