In Xanadu did Kubla Kahn a stately pleasure-dome decree...
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The
Pufferdome
Rising from the field like Gaia's glowing nipple, tattooed in light and
ringing with music, the Pufferdome is Starwood's own inflatable
hemispherical pleasure palace!
Joe Rothenberg and Joe's
OM Appliances present midnight parties with diverse musical styles
and multi-media projections and effects.

Rev.
Ivan Stang [Fri Night]
and Einstein's Secret Orchestra will return to Earth briefly to take advantage
of the Pufferdome's bizarre, Lovecraftian geometry and otherworldly accoustics,
presenting one last Church of the SubGenius devival (short for "down
home dome-show revival"). Rev. Stang will be joined by Lonesome Cowboy
Dave in a sermon on "Saving Souls from Themselves, or, The Revolution
WILL Be Televised, and Sponsored by Nike." This could also be called
a workshop in attaining Deep Slack. The most psychedelic videos in Church
and ACE collections decorate the dome walls and ESO's music will decorate
the audience's consciousnesslessnesses with hopelessnesslessness. Read
