As was recently announced, our lovely 2025 map <https://www.fireflyartscollective.org/getting-ready/map/> is now live, now with extra-accurate distances! This means it's live on the dust app <https://firefly-2025.dust.events/> as well! If you'd like your camp or art to be findable by other people (which presumably you do if it's on the map), please go to the dust submission menu <https://firefly-2025.dust.events/>, register your art or camp if you haven't already, and place a corresponding marker on the map. And remember, dust event submissions also show up automatically on the WhatWhereWhen <https://events.fireflyartscollective.org/>! Contact communications@fireflyartscollective.org if you need any help! ------------------------------ Open Stage Act Submission Final Call Hello Fireflies and happy Sunday, this is Stage Core speaking! This year as all years, we are having an open stage, which means anyone, whoever you may be, can sign up to perform any wacky, wonderful, whimsical, or wonky performance you would like. All you have to do is fill out the Open Stage Submission Form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeYKT2jN3-ZWUwnijI5D6psiEq_t3otgnCKmJhCm5jYCknYVA/viewform?usp=sf_link> with your act name, preferred performance time and day, and email so we can send you updates. The sooner you fill the form out, the more likely you will be to get your preferred slot. Also, this form will CLOSE Monday, June 30th. Any sign-ups after that will not be printed on the lineup, HOWEVER you will have an opportunity to write in a last-minute act if you change your mind, into any empty slot you see, as we will hang a big printed lineup near the stage. This is an OPEN stage, so share this with your friends, anybody can perform! Questions? Contact stage@fireflyartscollective.org. ------------------------------ Didn't find a volunteer shift you liked? Check again! We have removed unticketed volunteers from shifts, which means some shifts that were previously taken are now open. If you have a ticket, please check if you can help us fill these shifts <https://volunteer.fireflyartscollective.org/>! When? Now, but definitely by June 28th, when we close online volunteer signups so that Gnomes can print the schedule. For which cores? These are especially in need: Rangers, DPW, LNT, Graveyard, GTFO, and Parking. If you can stay late or stay up late that’s a HUGE help! Thank you for volunteering! We can't have Firefly without it! ------------------------------ Glory Glory Hole-lelujah: On Mercurial, twixt Pan's Path and Beat Blvd, right by Kool-Aid Glory Glory Hole-lelujah often makes the earth move for visitors. But you need to make the pilgrimage, and not everyone is comfortable seeking guidance from strangers. We're shown on the map as being in the woods between Pan's Path and Beat Blvd, but we're not. The GGH entrance is directly on Mercurial, just past icon "22" (Kool-Aid). Come by for a Quest (or maybe more)… Gareth@GloryGloryHole.com ------------------------------ Asks & OffersLooking Looking for a ride from New York on Thursday morning! -Magdalena, madalenapan@gmail.com Offers No offers!
