The Great Convergence at the Great Pyramids of Egypt Set for Winter Solstice 2012
From TheGreatConvergence2012.com
“Over the Winter Solstice, December 20-22, 2012 at the Great Pyramids of Giza, The Do LaB and The Great Convergence (TGC) present The Great Convergence – a three day music event followed by a five-day Nile cruise. The Great Convergence is a calling of the tribes to gather from across the globe for a once in a lifetime experience to intentionally celebrate this potent, transformational time in our lives culminating in a prophesized galactic astronomical alignment that happens once every 26,000 years.
The Great Convergence will include a selection of top electronic music producers and DJ’s from the west coast’s music scene including headliners Beats Antique, Apparat, Random Rab, Bluetech, Gaudi, Govinda, Desert Dwellers, David Starfire, DJ Dragonfly, Imagika, plus Moontribe DJs: Treavor, Brad, and Dela. Additionally, there will be panels and workshops with various experts to discuss the mysteries of the pyramids and the prophecies of our times.
After the three day music event under the pyramids, the journey will continue from Dec. 23rd-28th with a 4 night/5 day Nile River cruise traveling from Luxor to Aswan to explore some of the world’s most ancient temples during the day while evenings will be opportunities for connection and dance on the rooftops of our boats under the stars.
About the Galactic Alignment
This particular winter solstice on Dec 21/22, 2012 not only denotes the completion and renewal of our yearly orbit around the Sun but also culminates in a prophesized galactic alignment that happens once every 26,000 years. This alignment is what many ancient cultures, like the Mayans, were pointing towards with the completion of their calendars.
Some consider this alignment to be the marker of the beginning of a new era or a new age. Some consider this to be a transition into a new paradigm and an evolutionary turning point for the Earth and humanity. We are certain that something is happening and we will generate a lot of energy in our coming together in Egypt. We invite you to come create this magical journey with us and intentionally celebrate this entrance into a new era.
Accommodations and Tickets
We have arranged for three and five star accommodations at two hotels by the pyramids and aboard two cruise boats for the Nile journey. These are two separate events (the music event and the cruise) and you can choose to participate in either or both. For more information on tickets, please visit the website.”

Leftover Salmon Announces 2012 Thanksgiving Shows at the Boulder Theater
From LeftoverSalmon.com
“Leftover Salmon is happy to announce a two night run at the Boulder Theater on Friday and Saturday, November 23rd-24th to celebrate Thanksgiving weekend! NPR’s Mountain Stage heralded Colorado’s Leftover Salmon as “one of the most beloved acts on America’s summer-festival circuit” as they’ve returned from an eight year hiatus touring with their new album Aquatic Hitchhiker (released May 22nd on LoS Records). Exploring new new sonic territory, AOL’s The Boot listed Aquatic Hitchhiker as one of the best Americana albums of this year.
Members of the Leftover Salmon fan-club can purchase advance tickets for the Thanksgiving shows on Friday, September 7, 2012 at 10am MST through Leftover Tickets. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Saturday, September 14th at 10am MST through BoulderTheater.com and at the Boulder Theater box office.
There ain’t no place they’d rather be letting loose for Thanksgiving weekend than with friends, fans, and family right back where it all started back in 1989 when they emerged on the scene as one of the first bluegrass bands to add drums and tour rock & roll bars, helping Salmon become a pillar of the jam band scene and unwitting architects of the jam grass genre.”
