With EGA lecture submissions closing yesterday, it has been good seeing so many submissions come in this year. It is testimony to Australia thriving entheo and chemically minded community. We will have our work cut out for us at EGA HQ with 3x as many submission as available slots. The team has got a lot of reviewing to do in the next 3 weeks or so but undoubtedly the program will be representative and even more amazing for it.

[synchromesh]

Does that mean you think I should go?

Looks like another great conference Ronny

Do you know if there will be a bus from the airport out to the site again this year?

thanks

James Oroc - Tryptamine Palace

Author James Oroc originally wrote the book Tryptamine Palace (on the rare entheogen 5-MeO-DMT) for the Burning Man festival/community. Called (by High Times) "the best book on entheogens since Terence McKenna", Tryptamine Palace proposes both a radical mechanism for the entheogenic experience and that this experience is indistinguishable from the 'classical' mystical experience common to virtually all religions. Since the international publication of Tryptamine Palace (with foreword by Alex and Allyson Grey) by Inner Traditions in 2009, James Oroc has spoken at festivals and conferences around the world about the potential importance of the endogenous entheogens in the development of our mythology and mysticism, and developed the info-website on DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, and Visionary Culture.

thanks

 

i would also like to know this. also, where is the site..? is it a secret? am i a huge noob? only time will tell.

[RonnySimulacrum]

Hey Guys, there is an FAQ on the web page

Might help with your questions.

[RonnySimulacrum]

Market stall applications available now, so if you wish to be a part of the EGA Market space, apply now.

thanks ronny, though to be honest the FAQ was a bit hard to find, i would have thought it would have it's own heading.

anyway, i would like to suggest that, rather than having a bus from the cbd, there should be one from Euroa, which is quite nearby the site if i am not mistaken. this way, people can catch a train to Euroa, then a very short bus ride to the campsite. the reasons this is a good idea are manyfold:

-faster

-cheaper

-more comfortable

-toilets on board

-food on board

-more luggage space

-lower pollutive emissions

-non-bus alternative to driving (buses put many people off)

-nice view

-safer

-less cars clogging up the campsite and surrounding roads

-less strain on the (good idea) airport bus, as people can come down from NSW this way, should they wish

-trains are cooler

basically all the reasons people should catch the train more in general.

it should also be just as easy as booking a bus, too, as one can make a group booking with Vline. The only downside i can think of is the need for two separate bookings.

if this is all unrealistic, perhaps drivers could organise some sort of lift system where they take people from Euroa to the site, in exchange for petrol money. if i end up driving (obviously not my first choice) i will be happy to do this.

then again i am so intent on taking the train i may just end up walking from the station. it's only ten Ks right?

Hey Frank

We tried Benalla last time, and when the pick up got there everyone seemed to have just found other ways to get to the event and ended up burning loads of people as they had gone all that way.

And as around 45% people come from interstate airport and CBD seem to work logistically.

maybe you could car pool or get a pick up worked out.

But yes people have made that walk for sure.

------------------

Public transport -Train and Bus

Not tested by us – feedback welcome as to real life feasibility.

Take the Train to Benalla Thursday

http://www.vline.com.au/discover/regionalvictoria/destinations/benalla.html

Then get Stewarts Bus Lines - Mansfield - Benalla via Barjarg, Lima South, Swanpool on the Friday morning to Swanpool and walk.

http://www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au/route/view/4890

then a 13 km walk to site

Then do the reverse trip home, Tuesday morning, consult relevant webpages for timetables.
