Don't Be a Darkwad!

A Guide to Not Being a Darkwad

Denizens of Reclaim, prepare yourselves for a comprehensive manual on how to successfully navigate the enchanting realm of the Razorgrass at Mosaic Experiment without succumbing to the unfortunate label of Darkwads. In the following guide, we will delve into the paramount importance of light and offer invaluable advice that will ensure you shine brightly throughout the night. So, gather your glow sticks, brace yourselves, and get ready to be enlightened by our thoughtful and helpful tutorial.

Defining Darkwads: Embracing Illumination

Imagine a figure emerging from the shadows, struggling to find their way through the enveloping darkness. These individuals, known as Darkwads, are unfortunately unaware of the profound significance of luminosity in their twilight wanderings. It is our purpose to shed light on this matter and inspire all to embrace the power of the bulb, thus avoiding the plight of the Darkwads.

Lighting, Darling: Form Meets Function (Somewhat)

The sheer beauty of adorning oneself with a vibrant array of dazzling lights at Mosaic Experiment is undeniable. However, let us not forget that lighting serves a purpose beyond mere fashion and self-expression. Take delight in adorning yourself with LED bracelets that gleam in the darkness, confidently don EL wire that outlines your every move, or enchantingly drape yourself in fairy lights, transforming into a walking disco ball. By doing so, you will not only blaze your own path but also ensure that you are not mistaken for a lost creature in the depths of the night.

Front and Back: Guiding the Way

To all the intrepid midnight rovers, it is of paramount importance to always remember a vital rule: brighten both your front and back. Do not be fooled into thinking that a single blinking accessory will suffice. Instead, let the rays in front of you guide your every step, while those emanating from your rear protect unsuspecting passersby from becoming unwitting participants in an impromptu and potentially hazardous obstacle course. By being a shining beacon amidst the chaos of the shadows, you will not only safeguard your own journey but also contribute to the safety and well-being of those around you.

Striking a Balance: Illumination without Blinding

We fully acknowledge the irresistible allure of mesmerizing lighting. However, dear Darkwads, it is crucial to exercise restraint and maintain a delicate equilibrium. Avoid transforming yourself into a blinding supernova that disrupts and disorients those in your vicinity. Instead, seek the perfect balance where your gentle glow reveals your own path while remaining considerate of others. It is an art that requires finesse and attentiveness, but we have every confidence that you possess the necessary skills to master this delicate dance.

Plan Ahead: It's Just Common Sense

Preparation is the key to a truly radiant experience at Mosaic Experiment. Do not leave your lighting needs to chance or whimsy. Instead, adopt the mindset of a responsible burner and ensure that you are well-equipped with an ample supply of extra batteries. By doing so, you guarantee that your glistening presence will persist throughout the night, without the unfortunate defeated retreat to camp, lamenting the lack of sparkling accessories. Exhibit foresight and readiness, for the eagerly awaiting Razorgrass yearns for your presence to glow resplendently within its enchanting embrace.

---

Congratulations, enlightened comrades, for you now possess the profound wisdom required to transcend the status of Darkwads at Mosaic Experiment. Embrace the alluring art of incandescence, where practicality seamlessly intertwines with creativity, and illuminate your nights at the burn with resplendent style, unwavering safety, and undeniable charm. Venture forth through the mystical Razorgrass like a shimmering star, leaving those lost Darkwads to wander aimlessly in the shadows of their own ignorance. You, my dear luminous souls, possess the steadfast capability to achieve this magnificent feat and set the night ablaze with your brilliance!

Tier 1 Ticket Sales Ending Soon!

Hey folks, just a reminder here that Tier 1 Ticket Sales will be ending on June 16th at 11:59 PM EST and we’ll be moving to our Tier 2 Tickets starting June 17th at 12:00 AM EST, so get yours fast before it’s too late! Miss the memo on the difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2? Well, it’s $15 to be exact; Tier 1’s are selling for $110, while Tier 2 bumps up to $125. We structure our ticket sales this way to help encourage everyone to get their tickets early on so we have the funds to begin planning for the event, but again, don’t delay, time is running out for you to lock in that Tier 1 pricing. Visit https://www.mosaicexperiment.com/tickets to get your tickets today!

Make sure to also check out the Need-Based Ticket Program if you’re finding it difficult to find those funds this year so you can submit an application to help get you to the event. Have extra funds? You can send donations directly to our Need-Based Ticket PayPal account via NBT@mosaicexperiment.com

Additionally, while our Big BAM grants for art projects requesting over $500 have closed, you still have time to submit a grant for this year’s Effigy and Temple, we’re keeping that open awhile longer just to make sure that everyone wanting to submit their ideas this year has a chance to do so.

Regular BAM Grants for projects requesting under $500 and the Young Burner’s Grant applications are also still accepting submissions, but hurry on those as well, as those applications close June 18th. More info and application forms for these grants are available here: https://www.mosaicexperiment.com/artgrants

Finally, our Newsletter will be returning very soon, so if you haven’t already done so, sign up today by filling out the sign up form on the right hand side of most pages here on our website.

Need-Based Ticket Program RETURNS for 2023!

Last year the new Need-Based Ticket program was able to facilitate meeting 38 requests totaling nearly $3000 in funding!  All requests that responded to offer emails were able to be met.  This was achieved through 15 half-price tickets the MOrg allocated to the program, and the rest was met through community donations.  We want to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped make this happen.

After a wildly successful inaugural year, Mosaic Experiment’s NBT Program is now open for 2023!  The program allows for community members in need to request the level of assistance that would make a ticket accessible for them based on their unique circumstances.   While one participant may be able to afford a ticket at $20 off the total cost, another participant may not be able to attend unless their ticket is fully funded.  The NBT program also provides flexibility in responding to fluctuating levels of community need. Combining MOrg allocated half-price tickets with community donations creates the opportunity to meet more NBT requests than the organization could afford to fund purely on its own.  

The program will be open to requests through Friday August 18th and will accept donations through Friday August 25th. 

If you would like to make a request for ticket funding assistance, please first read the updated NBT Program Information on our website.  There you will find a link to the 2023 request form. 

If you would like to donate towards the program, you can send your donation directly to NBT@mosaicexperiment.com on PayPal.  If you would like to donate an entire already purchased ticket or would like to provide additional information regarding your intended donation, please fill out the NBT Request & Donations Form, which you can find on the NBT Program page.

2023 Vaccination Policy

Having recently announced our upcoming ticket sales for Mosaic Experiment 2023: Celestial Chaos, you may be asking, “What is the Vaccination Policy for 2023?”

Update 6/14/23

In preparation for Mosaic Experiment 2023, we would like to announce the following suggestions to help prevent the spread of COVID at the 2023 event. We recognize that the Government has declared an end to the COVID crisis (4/4/23), however, as a community, we want to provide a safe event for all. Therefore, we will be suggesting the following:

• If you have access to a test, please test before your arrival at Mosaic Experiment.

• If you are ill, please practice civic responsibility and do not attend the event.

• If your child is ill, they should not attend the event.

If you develop symptoms at the event, it will be requested that you take a test (we recommend bringing a test with you to the event). If you test positive, it is expected that you will leave the event.

We will be requiring all attendees to be fully vaccinated as defined by the CDC:

• 2 weeks (14 days) since a person received one dose of an accepted single-dose-series COVID-19 vaccine (e.g., Janssen/J&J); OR

• 2 weeks (14 days) since a person’s second dose in a 2-dose series of an accepted COVID-19 vaccine; OR

• 2 weeks (14 days) since a person received the full series of an accepted COVID-19 vaccine (not placebo) in a clinical trial; OR

• 2 weeks (14 days) since the person received 2 doses of any “mix-and-match” combination of accepted COVID-19 vaccines listed in Table 2 administered at least 17 days apart.

If you are not yet fully vaccinated, please use this guide below to help you plan:

• Pfizer: 1st dose by August 16th, 2nd dose by September 13th

• Moderna: 1st dose by August 9th, 2nd dose by September 13th

• Johnson & Johnson: single dose by September 13th.

If you purchase a ticket and have not received your final dose by September 13th, 2023, you will not be admitted to the event and your ticket will not be refunded. 

What about boosters? Though we are not currently requiring booster shots in order to attend, we are highly recommending the newer bivalent booster, as it has been shown to significantly decrease risk of serious illness or hospitalization from the Delta and Omicron variants. If in doubt, get boosted!

Exemptions to being vaccinated: we will be making exceptions for children ages 0-5 due to the lack of an approved vaccine dose for that age bracket and their lower risk profile, as well as for those who qualify due to a valid medical reason as determined by the CDC: i.e., those who have had a severe allergic reaction after a first vaccine dose or have a known allergy to a component of the vaccine. If you fall into one of these exemptions, you MUST email us at gate@mosaicexperiment.com by September 14, 2023 to provide verification of this exemption.

Our wonderful Gate team will be checking your physical vaccine card or a screenshot of your digital vaccine record or a full photo of the card with all information clearly visible along with your ID when you arrive. If you are vaccinated but have misplaced your card, please contact your medical provider or the service location where you received your vaccine in order to obtain a replacement card or record as you will need this in order to attend! Please direct all questions you may have to gate@mosaicexperiment.com. 

We appreciate you doing your part by practicing the principle of Civic Responsibility and getting vaccinated to help ensure we have as safe a burn as reasonably possible when it comes to taking precautions against the spread of COVID-19 and its variants. If needs arise, we will be providing updates to this policy as we get closer to this year’s Mosaic Experiment. See you on the Razorgrass!
