How is community created?
Around a table at the Orbit Room? In dorm rooms in Berkeley and Boston? At a summer potluck in the park, a dusty BBQ in the desert, or a seafood boil on a deck? Dancing in the new year, quizzing in a pub, or bouncing on a trampoline?
Perhaps floating on the Feather, tubing the Truckee, or soaking in Shasta. Or during late nights on a disco dancefloor, afternoons under a rainbow or two, or a crawl through a teepee. Maybe clubbing in the Castro or mixing in the Mission or tripping through the Sonoma redwoods.
Could it have been at a wedding on an island, at the springs, on a mesa, at a festival, or in a backyard? Or at a candle-lit memorial by a pond, over a shared meal to help speed recovery, or in celebration of another decade past? Or side-by-side as moon eclipses sun, rockets soar into space, crustaceans are caught, or sound journeys begin?
This year Tasty celebrates 20 years of creating community in all the ways listed above and more. AND it’s also our 10th anniversary since our first Camp Tasty. Throughout that time and before, we’ve all found each other and collectively created something rare, transformative, and truly magical. Whether Tasty’s touched your life for one night or twenty years or may be still to come, we have two asks:
1) Make the time and space to come this year, whether you’re a regular or never been. We’d love to reunite friends old and new this year, so if you’ve ever thought about it, make this the year.
2) Now that you’re in, think about how you can take this year to the next level. Read on for ways to share ideas, memories, and more, and think about how you can give your contributions – whether DJ set or activity, teepee or art project – a 20th anniversary glow up.
Tasty wouldn’t be what Tasty is without you, so please join us this October 2-5 (plan on 3 nights!) to join us to party like only Tasty can!
With gratitude,
Brent & Amit
