Random Subtle fact: Whlie on their first tour, Patrick (their sound guy) was driving and hit black ice and crashed. Keyboardist Dax Pierson was paralized from the chest down and now plays with a MIDI controller in his mouth. Amazing and seriously inspiring.
There is also a whole slew of optical artists scheduled that will keep your eyes spinning. The above image is a sampling of Scott Pagano's work. Gwen Williams' space-trance light art looks mesmerizing as well.
Tickets range from $50 - $100 depending on how much partying you want to do.
