🌕 Sand Island Jam Raid #2
📍 Elizabeth Island (SW Corner)
📅 Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd May
🎵 Music • 🔥 Campfire • 🌊 Boats • 🌕 Moonlight
• 🌅 Low tide: 2:16 PM (island opens up)
• 🌊 High tide: 8:46 PM (evening float-in magic)
Bring your instrument (or just yourself), a chair, food & drinks, and if you’ve got room — some firewood.
🥔 Deb Potato optional… but encouraged.
A relaxed return to the sand — no pressure, no plans… just good people, good music, and a full moon hanging overhead.
⸻
🌙 What This Is (for the uninitiated…)
Raiders, sailors, musicians, and moonlit wanderers — this isn’t an event you attend… it’s one you drift into.
The Flower Moon has just passed its peak, still glowing strong over the lake — like a campfire in the sky guiding boats in. 🌕✨
As the tide falls through the afternoon, the sand island reveals itself.
By evening, with the water returning and the moon rising… we gather.
⸻
🎵 The Jam
This isn’t a performance — it’s a shared rhythm.
Bring anything that makes noise (or fills the gaps between it):
🎸 Guitar • 🥁 Drum • 🎺 Brass • 🎻 Strings • 🎤 Voice • 🥄 Improvised chaos
Or bring something else to the circle:
📜 Stories • 😂 Jokes • 🎭 Moments
No instrument? Perfect. Every fire needs people leaning in.
⸻
🔥 The Flow of the Night
Arrive as you please while the lake is calm.
Set up as the island breathes into existence at low tide.
As the moon climbs, the music begins — slowly at first… then like a tide of its own.
Play.
Listen.
Wander.
Return.
And when the last chord fades…
📻 The boombox takes over
🔥 The fire burns low
🌊 The water laps at the edges again
⸻
Some nights are planned.
Others feel like they’ve been waiting for you all along.
This is one of those nights.
See you on the sand. 🌊🌕⛵
