Intro
Welcome to Ephemerisle! The first-ever floating festival of politics, community and art will be held October 2-4, 2009 in the Sacramento Bay Delta, exact location TBA, but most likely the lagoon inside Headreach Island. Participants will bring their crafts and their ideas to build an eclectic temporary village of boats, rafts, barges, junks, and other floating structures.
Official Information
Official information lives on ephemerisle.org, such as:

Attendance
People Meta
Post your info here! Ideas: Name, random facts about you, any cool stuff you will bring, your vessel, what you are most excited about.
Attendee List
- Patri Friedman, will bring my ocean art collection, not sure if I will have time to build a platform or just camp w/ TSI staff on the main platform. I am most excited about Ephemerisle as an incremental step (meaningful in size but also achievable) towards seasteading.
- James Hogan
- Greg Gioia will bring food, bands, port-a-potties, and other festival essentials.
- Eric Jacobus, stuntman extraordinaire!
- Cheryl Cline
- Natalie Villalobos
- Chicken John, former San Francisco mayoral candidate and Camp Tipsy Tipster Supreme, will bring thousands of square feet of central platform.
Suggested format (feel free to change this):
- NEED (vs. OFFER)
- Who: Sharky The Shark.
- When: Friday afternoon.
- Gear: Just my sharp teeth, and some hot sauce that goes well with human flesh...mmm...
- Offering: You will be spared my bloody rampage.
- None yet.
This is for boat sharing, ie renting a large houseboat together. Note whether you have a boat reserved, how large a boat, what type of group you are looking for ("Other single moms bringing their children to experience the magic of water-based political self-expression!", "we're young, we're gay, and we are here to play!", "Tortured artistic souls only, ready to writhe in the agony of intense creative expression and conflict").
- None yet.
Boat/Platform Building
Share your ideas and resources about how to construct floating platforms cheaply, easily, and with sheer joyful madness and exuberance! Note that there is an Ephemerisle Grant Program to subsidize particularly fun, interesting, or creative platforms.
Ideas
Links
- There is a SFSeasteadersSailingClub mailing list.
- If you need access to tools and machines, TechShop is a great resource.
- The NIMBY artist space in Oakland is a good place to build things. The Ephemerisle Staff are tentatively planning to have a series of work days there (probably on Saturdays), where people can build their own platforms, help build the central platform, and get advice and assistance from the President of Platforms, Chicken John.
What to Bring
