░ ▒ ▓ █ Enter our alternate history.

In May of 1929, construction of the Los Angeles Stock Exchange building was nearing completion. Its designers and architects knew that once doors opened for trading, they might not be able to enjoy the building recreationally. Plans were made. A solar eclipse was occurring elsewhere in the world and it seemed like as good reason as any to celebrate. Although Prohibition was in full effect, the Gallery of the building was set to be transformed into a speakeasy.

One of the invited guests was a mischievous filmmaker named Nathaniel Hornblower who was also a heavy investor in Nikola Tesla. He had accumulated some early versions of Tesla's inventions for use as special effects in his movies, and he had the unfortunate habit of using them recklessly for his own personal entertainment. He urged those running the speakeasy to name it "Tesla's Lair" for the night, and he was determined to demonstrate Tesla's machines at the exact moment the solar eclipse was happening elsewhere in the world. They agreed.

The devices he was most excited about were the Dimensional Screen and a gravity manipulation device. Hornblower failed to realize that using the gravity device when the Earth, Moon and Sun were in perfect alignment would have unintended consequences. He powered up the machine and everyone in that room seemed to vanish into the aether.

Upon hearing of the disappearance of the crowd and some of his machines, Tesla postulated that they would reappear three days before the annular solar eclipse in 2012 in another dimension.

We are in that other dimension.

On May 18th, 2012, join us for a night of electroswing and jazzy house in Tesla's Lair as we welcome those who have been transported from 1920s.

The Do LaB is proud to present Lightning in a Bottle happening Memorial Day Weekend, May 24th - 28th 2012, in Silverado, California. http://lightninginabottle.org/

The annual festival features Art, Music, Workshops, Yoga, Performances, Camping and Sustainability. Choose your own adventure!

A Message of Celebration for 2012:

Happy 2012! As we all embark on this exciting (and perhaps historic) new year, we would like to take a moment to share our intentions for the Do LaB community and Lightning in a Bottle festival. Whether prophesied, or simply the true state of affairs, our community, our nation, and our planet face great change at this particular moment in time. We invite you all to embrace this change and continue celebrating life and our incredible human spirit during these tumultuous times. Though our problems seem many, and solutions difficult, we must remember to approach them with grace, love and celebration for in this attitude lies our best way forward.

LIB has always been about discovering and enacting a different way of living. A way that is more in touch with the earth, with each other, and with ourselves. As the pace of change continues to accelerate all around us, and old ways of thinking begin to reach their logical and useful ends, LIB continues to expand its spiritual and educational aspects so that we, as a community, may boldly embrace and lead the way into this new world. The Temple of Consciousness will be bigger than ever this year and will include inspiring new structures for the yoga and meditation area, as well as the beautiful area for speakers and workshops in the heart of the Temple. At the same time, we have a music and performance lineup brewing (scheduled to be released in March) that could be our best yet and is sure to awaken the celebration of dance that we hold so dear.

We are so happy and proud of the way LIB has been able to continue to grow and mature, while continuing to preserve that indescribable vibe we have all come to love so much. We thank everyone that participates in this event, from the volunteers and the musicians, to the painters, builders, artists and crew, and especially to you for contributing to that feeling that makes everyone feel so welcome and happy to join us in capturing lightning in a bottle, year after year.

We can't wait to see you smiling again, bringing your incredible energy and understanding to help us make Lightning in a Bottle 2012 our greatest year ever!
