At 3:45am we have a very special guest DJ performing for us, he's such a big name that we can't put his name on the lineup for fear of overloading our spot. But suffice to say that he's known everywhere on earth.

Directions to Straylight 8

Now some things to remember:

Camping is highly encouraged. It's great to get out there before sunset, as the view is one of the best I've ever seen.

But NO FIRES, as the area that this will be happening at is full of lots of dry grass that would burn very fast.

Also this is a LEAVE NO TRACE event, so please don't let any garbage hit the ground, we will have trash bags around. Also if you see anyone drop something, please ask them to pick it up. Leaving a trashed party site is the kind of thing that makes it hard to find more party spots.

Now a bit about the road, it's a very windy road all the way down the coast, then up the mountain, it's a one lane paved road, once at the top of the mountain the last 4 miles are on a graded dirt road, but most cars can make it down there just fine, unless your car is lowered you should be fine.

Detailed directions will be posted at this website and Tribe, the day of the event. But if you've been to one of our parties, you know where you're going.

RIP: Albert Hoffman

PLUR, yeah I said it!!!!
