Fireflies! The bus is currently 40% full and will only happen if there is enough interest. In order to ensure that the bus costs will be covered the bus needs to be 75% full by this Sunday June 8. If you're planning on taking the bus and are currently on the waitlist, please let us know if you haven't already. If there is not enough interest in the bus it will be cancelled so that everyone has enough time to coordinate rides. So take the bus and enjoy the ride to Firefly as you relax in your seat, enjoy some beats, and get driven to the event in the woods! Want to spin some beats or help entertain your fellow passengers? Let us know. We are looking for volunteers (perks include discounted/free travel). Bus tickets are $44. Information on the bus can be found on the Firefly website at: http://fireflyartscollective.org/firefly/tickets/ or by logging into the Firefly ticket page: http://tickets.fireflyartscollective.org/ A few quick facts about the bus: Pick-up and Drop-off Location: The bus pick-up will occur in Somerville, MA at a location close to the Sullivan T- stop. There is space available at the drop off location to leave cars parked there for the week. Pick-up and Drop-off Times: The bus will depart Somerville Tuesday at 10 am. The bus will depart Firefly Sunday at 3 pm. Can I get food or water along the way? The bus will be stopping at a grocery store on the way to Firefly. How do I get ALL of my gear to Firefly? There is space under the bus for passengers to bring the equivalent of two pieces of luggage. Bus passengers will also have to option of purchasing space in a 10 foot moving truck at approximately $2.50 per cf. The truck will leave from the same location as the bus. Any other questions?

Firefly Rangers looking for more volunteers
by The Firefly Official Announcement List via Announce 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

Greetings Fellow Fireflies! Are you getting excited about Firefly? The Firefly Rangers are! We are looking for volunteers who: 1) Have been to Firefly before* 2) Can be sober & responsible for a 4–hour shift 3) Understand that one of the Rangers' most important tasks is: DO NOTHING. 4) Are willing to wear a khaki costume and carry a radio 5) Care enough about their fellow Fireflies to help upon request 6) Understand that Rangers are participants first and have no authority over others in the Community. Most Rangers spend a lot of their shift walking around in pairs as "Dirt Rangers." We also have a stationary "Outpost" role (in the field by Sanctuary), or if you are good with technology we also have an "Echelon" role (basically running Ranger Head Quarters): both roles will need filling each shift! Rangering is a super-fun way to volunteer with our Community. We are very supportive of one another as a team of Rangers and of our Community as a whole. You'll never be asked to do something you are not comfortable with. We'll be happy to answer any questions you may have or listen to any comments, complaints, suggestions, or other useful input you'd like to share. (please see email info below.) If you are interested, please fill out the 2014 Ranger Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Ps9pUNU7MPkKWvJYg0HIiuY1hS3OOO16WibKzkkciL… Firefly is fast approaching, and so are more Ranger trainings! We have 3 more Ranger Training opportunities. 2 before Firefly: Monday, June 9th, 2014, 6:30pm–10:30pm Thursday, June 12, 2014, 6:30pm–10:30pm Near Davis Square @ Sparkle Motion: 11 Lowden Ave, Apt 2, Somerville MA 02144 1 during Firefly: Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014, 9:30am–1:30pm @ Firefly Advanced Ranger Training (ART) modules are also available to any Ranger who wishes to broaden their skill base. For information or questions, please visit our website: http://fireflyartscollective.org/firefly/join-a-core/rangers/ or email us directly at: rangers(a)fireflyartscollective.org, Ranger Dolphin, Ranger Communications Team Lead Ranger Quandary, Ranger Training & Education Team Lead On behalf of the 2014 Firefly Ranger Council and Teams * Please note: our policy is that Rangers must have attended Firefly at least once before, though rare exceptions might be made for those with extensive Rangering experience at other Burns. We believe it's important that the Firefly Rangers draw from experienced membership within the Community. We welcome and strongly encourage all first-year Fireflies to contribute in whatever other way they wish to the community this year, and to have an awesome Firefly. By participating in Firefly 2014, you will make yourself eligible to be a Firefly Ranger in 2015.
