Get all the details about tickets here: http://lightninginabottle.org/ 2011-tickets/ LIB is happening Memorial Day weekend May 27-30th 2011 in Silverado, CA. A Note about Monday's Early Bird Tickets and the Lineup The summer festival season is fast approaching! Things are getting busy at The Do LaB and the excitement in the air for this year's Lightning in a Bottle is inspiring and motivating us in a really powerful way. Our new 24 hour pre-sale is just 5 short days away. Have you invited all your friends ( http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=3D186462341385079 ) to get them ready for the big day? We're changing things up a bit this year, and are offering our special discount price of $175 for a full festival pass. This discount opportunity will be for a 24 hour period beginning February 28th at 6am. After that, all remaining festival passes will sell at the full amount. Don't miss this special offer for our amazing supporters and early adopters. Bookmark our tickets page http://lightninginabottle.org/buy-tickets/ to get them as soon as they go on-sale. Ok, so where's the lineup?? We know that music is a big part of the festival experience, and we've worked very hard and devoted a lot of resources to putting together our greatest lineup yet. With that said, we passionately believe that the lineup is just one piece of an entire tapestry of intention and participation that makes LIB so special (see below for all our participant application info for more on that). The Do LaB crew has been deeply inspired by our experiences at Burning Man and other events in our community that provide such long lasting and meaningful experiences without depending on big name lineups or sponsors to be what they are. Lightning in a Bottle is a different festival than Burning Man, but we do share a common ethos around the event experience as a whole, and the value and importance that every festival participant plays in that experience. This ethos is a key motivation and intention that makes LIB possible. Encouraging people to recognize this intention is why we offer our most affordable, below-cost festival passes before the line-up is announced. We know not everyone has been to LIB before, and we also know that sometimes it can simply be difficult to remember just what it was that made an experience so special! An amazing line-up can help confirm in our minds just what this thing is all about. That being said, we will be officially announcing the lineup through this newsletter on March 7th, one week after our tickets go on sale. Hopefully there will still be tickets left then! But for those who know what we are trying to achieve with Lightning in Bottle, well, after nearly a decade of epic Lightning in a Bottle experiences to look back on, we are excited to see just how many of you trust us, and eachother, to make this an experience like no other, regardless of the names on the lineup. RSVP here ( http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=3D186462341385079 ) for the early-adopter LIB pre-sale. Join the LIB team - Volunteer! The volunteer application is now live! Volunteers have always been a big part of the Lightning in a Bottle production, and we're excited to work together again in a bigger and better way than ever before. Last year's festival was a big learning experience, and we're looking forward to refining the effectiveness and overall experience of our volunteer team for 2011. With that in mind, we've made some changes to the volunteer process for 2011 and have re-written our volunteer agreement a bit to help clarify what it means to be a volunteer for LIB. The 4 agreements of the LIB volunteer: * Attend the Volunteer orientation meet-up at the festival. * Represent the entire LIB team positively by arriving for all shifts on time, sober, and energetic! * Actively participate in LIB as a Green Guide. * Treat all festival participants with respect and a positive attitude. Further details on these agreements and all volunteering details can be found on the application page on the LIB site: 2011 Lightning in a Bottle Volunteer Application: http://lightninginabottle.org/volunteer-agreement/ Important note: All LIB volunteer applicants must submit credit card info for their volunteer ticket deposit. Accepted applicants will be charged a $5 processing fee, but it is free to apply.

Why Unconditional Love? Because that's the most pure, beautiful thing in the universe - and we think it deserves a nod. These recordings were made under somewhat different circumstances than the typical studio session. Last year an idea spawned while staying at our good friend Jim Siegel's historic San Francisco mansion. This house was built in 1889. With it's ghosts, stories, characters and it's unique role in cultural history, we thought we should record the house along with our next album. So we dragged all of our recording equipment up to San Francisco, and proceeded to make this recording. We carefully captured the acoustic ambiance of the rooms, hallways and staircases; if you listen closely, you can hear the house breathing. No digital reverbs were used. You can hear people walking around and talking. You can hear traffic outside the windows. You can hear how much fun we had sequestered in that house, a group of friends, making art together for four days and nights. We hope you have as much fun listening to the music as we had making it. Pick it up on line or come to a show and say hello. http://www.nimbitmusic.com/themutaytor/> We will be selling a limited number of signed copies at our record release party on: March 10th, at The Echoplex in Los Angeles http://www.attheecho.com/ where we'll be performing with our friends The March Fourth Marching Band ( http://marchfourthmarchingband.com/ ). We'll also be touring in support of the new CD nationally throughout the summer. The Westerfeld Mansion - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ William_Westerfeld_House is a 5 story, 28 room Victorian Historical Landmark in the Lower Haight section of San Francisco, located on the corner of Scott and Fulton. The Westerfeld has seen more than it's fair share of the avant-garde since its construction in 1889. It had been the Russian Embassy, a speakeasy during prohibition, the transmitter for the very first radio broadcasts on the west cost conducted out of the bell tower by none other than Enricco Moricini himself, a jazz flophouse for the likes of Thelonious Monk, home to Janice Joplin, Big Brother and the Holding Company and Family Dog productions, crashpad for members of the Manson Family, site of occult rituals conducted by Kenneth Anger and Anton LeVey (who kept one of his tigers in the bell tower) and was prominently featured in Thomas Wolfe's "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test". It's also been Mutaytor's San Francisco home for several years, and is always a place of fond memories and the absolute best of times.... You can buy the new CD at http://www.nimbitmusic.com/themutaytor/ , or on our Facebook MyStore page.
