  • Drinking Water (bring plenty of water, there’s no running water in this location)
  • Food (bring all your favorite snacks and edibles. Only drinks and essential foods will be available during the event)
  • Utensils (disposable plates, forks, pots & pans, napkins, propane kitchens, foldable tables, etc)
  • Warm Clothing (layers is best and bring a heavy jacket or coat for the night and a good pair of warm gloves)
  • Flashlights (head mounted and handheld & make sure they’ve got batteries)
  • Night lights (propane or battery operated for your tent or camping area)
  • Foldable chairs
  • Sleeping Bags
  • Tents (or shade tarps)
  • Thick Blankets (you’ll love to throw yourself under the tree canopies)Mosquito repellent (for daytime)
  • Ash Tray (help us all by keeping all your cigarrette butts in one spot. You also help prevent forest fires)

Costumes

Psychonauts invites you to dress up and bring your most creative costumes to enrich the night and the spectacle. We hope you’ll find time to check out the night’s theme and dress accordingly. Quick guidelines: anything futuristic, astronaut-like or machinic would blend greatly with the overall theme and the planned sets. Jewelry or outfits featuring anything symbolic, archetypal, dream-like, mandala-like or reminiscent of the unconscious can also go perfectly with the underlying Jungian theme behind Psychonauts.

Suggestions for the night include: anything futuristic, astronaut-like or spacey looking, from cyborg outfits to astronaut gear.

Location/Directions

The gorgeous venue where Psychonauts will take place is located in a private 80-acre forest near Pacoima just 20 minutes north of LA.

Exact address & directions to this location will be published here 48 hours prior to the event’s start.

Note: When you purchase tickets, you will receive two separate emails from us: one cofirming the ticket order and another one containing information regarding the event’s location and driving directions. We’ll also list there an Info Line phone number where attendants can call to get address & directions if no computer is handy. Remember to call this Info Line number from the city, once you’ve left the 210 freeway, cell phone reception is very spotty around this secluded location.
