A festival update

 

Some of you have discovered that the first 100 tickets for UNCIVILISATION, the Dark Mountain festival, have now sold out. We’ll be putting the main tranche of tickets on sale this coming Thursday, at the same time as we launch a stand-alone website for the festival, with much more about what will be going on.

Dougald and I have just come back from a day at the festival site, walking the boundaries and sketching out plans, and we’re really excited about how it’s all coming together. Personally, I’m really looking forward to meeting many of the people I’ve had contact with by email or through this website since we launched but have not properly met. It’s going to be a great weekend. If you’re still after tickets, watch this space.

    It maybe that you’ve invited him (and he declined), but I can’t find reference to Kenneth White and his geopoetics project on the Dark Mountain website.

    Perhaps he could be persuaded another time. Here’s a couple of links:

    http://geopoetics.org.uk/

    Hope this is of interest, if you haven’t considered him. Should you think he is relevant and important to the Dark Mountain project, I would like to know why you think he is, or isn’t.

  2. Looking forward to it, Paul – with only a hint of trepidation.
