I know it is early and that most of you can't commit at this time (which I totally understand!), but I wanted to start talking about this now so we can plan. Because of the nature of the people involved and resources available this year, OCF 2010 looks like it is shaping up to be absolutely incredible!

We did a PDX Occulture field trip to the Oregon Country Fair in 2008 and it was amazing. Let's do it again!

OCF this year is July 9, 10, 11. Tickets to get into the Fair itself can be bought online; you can't buy tickets at the gate. I believe a three-day weekend pass is $51 this year. We camp at Darling Reunion. Camping is $43 per person for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Out by noon on Monday morning. If you want to park at your campsite, it's an extra $35. Otherwise parking is in the field if you get there on Thursday. The free onsite parking fills up quickly so if you don't get in on time, you can still park across the street at Quiet Camp. In the past, it has been $20 to park there for the weekend.

Let me know if you have any questions! And let me know as soon as you can commit! :D

Meet here while Portland Occulture is in hibernation.

Or, for the student of Slack...

Sorry for the late update - we'll be at the Parlour again tonight.

This week we make our glorious return to the Parlour.

This time, please DO NOT BYOB and food, as the Parlous is now selling beverages and snacks.
