	Irish Decompression - November 21st - 22nd,Charleville Castle	51 jours il y a
	Friends, Burners, Countrymen, The Irish Burners are proud to present 3rd Annual Irish Decompression Smokin’ Craic! ‘09 Saturday the 21st to Sunday 22nd November 2009 Charleville Castle, Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland. Oh joy! Come join the craic-havin’ Irish Burner community as we turn historic Charleville Castle, the legendary Irish gathering place par excellence of Shelley, Byron and Sir Thomas More, into a glowing and irreverent echo of our beloved playa!! Yes, this year we are trying something new – in conjunction with the friendly, amenable and SF-decom-loving Charleville Castle Heritage Trust, we have been granted use of their insane castle and its historic grounds for an extended celebration of playa style nonsense and frolics! Just an hour outside Dublin, Charleville Castle is the former Irish seat of the More family, Knights Templar, Freemasons, Muster-Master Generals of Ireland, and eventually, gadabout owners of the most renowned party house in all the land! Now in its third year, Ireland’s Decompression needs a new and distinctive home amongst good friends, and we have found them here… The castle has long had a history of innovation and revelry, and it is in this established spirit that the Trust has decided to open its doors to our community. We sense the beginning of a long, enjoyable, and fruitful relationship with these free-thinking keepers of a true piece of Irish heritage, and therefore we invite YOU to come and help us start this friendship with the fire and energy it deserves! In keeping with the 10 principles of Burning Man, all shall be welcome, and participants are cordially invited, nay, positively encouraged to bring art, toys, tools, costume, theatre, lights, sounds, sense, nonsense, and incense to transform the castle into a little piece of the playa, deep in the heart of 1000 acres of Europe’s last fully walled demesne!! There will be ample space, time, and volunteer opportunity for anyone to set up anything they like. As long as the castle doesn’t blow up, nearly anything will be permitted, so bring fire, lasers, poetry, or whatever – you will all be welcome!! In return, participants gets to arrive whenever they like on Saturday, reconstruct the playa ‘til the sun comes up and beyond, and rest, relax and recover Sunday before they depart. There will be a huge amount of chill space with roaring fires, and there is plenty of accommodation in the local town. Camping will be allowed for - (strictly for the hardy amongst us, as the Irish winter bites hard!), and as an extra bonus, everyone who camps will get to help us with clean-up later on Sunday afternoon!! Yay!! There will be ample parking available for those of you who drive. We will be running shuttle buses from the local town to the castle on a regular basis, and shuttle buses out of there from Sunday morning... So come, lovely people, come join us, and together we shall rule the over the default world as its grey-faced forces break upon our mighty battlements!!!! Tickets go on sale soon and will be *strictly limited* and only available *in advance*. Stay tuned! In the meantime, if you'd like to volunteer your service, art or love for this event, drop an email to ireland@burningman.com and let us know how you'd like to contribute. Cheers! - Randy
