Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
Are we not all star dust?
We are all destined to return,
To where the stars burn.
Building temples to the sky,
Or upon yonder fly.
Is not this Earth,
That which gave us birth,
In the heavens upon high,
Make us children of the sky.
Upon this earthly haven,
Already living in heaven.
You're welcome Kevin. I just wrote it up now. You were asking for words, phrases, starting points for ideas, so I let the stream of thoughts flow. Good luck on your mission.
BTW, where are you planning to have the event? I didn't know you did even organising as well. I used to do visuals at events and for bands.
Hmmm... perhaps a blockchain party then? Everybody who buys a ticket also is buying a small amount of xyz (insert crypto name of choice) coin. So you'd be spreading the word and adoption.
If you wanted to go full on geek, get Anton Antonopoulos to present (educate) and have him backed with a DJ and visuals. Make Crypto cool and fun. =)
Hey Kevin I could share some ideas. It all depends on what your budget is. I could see a costumed dance in whatever character from any sci fi show. You could have a contest on the best costume. There could be video music and movie clips from various eras of sci fi. you could go back to when JFK started the space program competing against the Russians as an audio clip. Imagine folks dressed up as spock, darf vader and all those that have come since. You could have a name that clip contest. You could include bloopers too. Food and drink could in in a sci fi theme. Decorations as well. Perhaps You all could be dancing to Weird Al parody on Don Mclean American Pie, Or do the the Time Warp again. You could go as far back as Telstar (1962). Perhaps folks would have to talk in Klingon or use phrases like Beam Me up Scotty for a free drink or other privileges. I could see a trivia contest with sci fi prizes. Even a silent auction or raffle that was space oriented. Different locations in the building or room could represent different places in time travel or different eras of sci fi. Folks could be lost in space (show). You could hand decorations of different galaxies and planets from the ceiling. perhaps the enterprise zooming in the air. Don't forget Riverside, Iowa - The home of James T. Kirk. As for a catch theme ...Perhaps 'Steppin out in Space" with the image of a couple and their feet dancing together showing the feet in particular in air. I do not know it is just an idea. Hope it helped. Live Long and Prosper.
Hyperspace, eh? You looking to complete the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs?
I don't know much about Earth's galaxy, but I know a lot about a galaxy far, far away. I also know a bit about the Milky Way, but not the one as we know it. I'd like to say I'm related to Commander Shepherd but I'm afraid that wouldn't be true. I did help destroy the Reapers though :p
You should check out DealExtreme for their mini key chain lightsabers. I ordered a BUNCH for my wedding. We had them as party favours. People also waved them around, lighting them up, when they wanted Frank and me to kiss. Those could be pretty cool. There might be some other colours on Amazon too.
Alternately, you can also buy glow sticks from the dollar store and add little DIY cardboard bands to the ends, painted, or crafted more elaborately, as you see fit, to make it look like lightsabers. That might be your least expensive option.
If I had lots of money, I would hang a bounty on the wall lol Nothing says Cantina without a Kowakian Monkey-Lizard either, but hey. If you want to go all space and Cantina-like, SWTOR has some awesome Cantina songs from its soundtrack. I've got them all, could send them to you, or you can find them on YouTube (SWTOR Cantina Songs/Music).
If you can Cosplay, that would be fun, have some space folk walking around, some aliens, some Jedi or Sith, perhaps people from other galaxies.
When people order something or walk into a room, or from time to time, you can have droid sounds on the speakers. Like R2-D2 sounds.
Of course, that's the direction I would go in. I even own my own Sabaac deck. Having a few of those, could make some fun games. We use dice in this galaxy, because we don't have droids for the random factor, but throw in some drinking alternatives to the game and you've got some pretty fun times ahead.
Hey @kewinwong, If you are planning for a dance music festival I appreciated and i have some ideas how about do this with successfully. have you selected venue, time, date and place with timing schedule? More important above contents bcoz require to promote those festival too. Without audience no important any festivals. i think you understood my opinions cleverly.You should competition various systems. As you know we can arrange festival without any doubt and risk. In this fact I confirmly give my trust your festival.
before start festival require submitting the first-draft proposal. entire various dance style with various costume and also must entire huge noises audio clips to presentation. Must decoration of earth and galaxy to to the stage platform. But require and compare nice contribution to Science fiction. As my mind, if you can arrange to make nice slideshow presentation it will be better. Its not tough task , easy way to handle our self. then we can keep leadership there festival. Also require find professional dancers, beauty ladies is attractive and maybe it can be get more audience. Thats massive point. If not unsuccessful your dance program. Please think more and safety. If our creativity will success automatically increase your reputation. Its will be more rewards in this platform.
Thats huge discussion and you always shared most important topic to the society.
Resteemed.
You can select these Power point slide shows. Dont difficult to search.
I like the topic of space and trance music! it will be a great combination
what about freezelight show? if you have somebody to create it, it will be just perfect.
it can be a real dance with them, or just decotarion with such kind of lighting, it always looks like from space
A huge divide where even though everything is very futuristic it is very grungy and almost apocolypse dystopian. Maybe even a dark cyber punk feel. of corse alot of blacklights and smoke. maybe some simple sloagans written around telling people big brother is watching or obey or something like that. graffiti on stuff to make it look more cyberpunk would be kool too. even crossing out of a slogan or two. strobes on the dance floor and all the light shows ect to where the dance floor area is almost a transformation to a really futuristic luxury disco. it would add more to the divide feeling of the raw cyberpunk look and the high class rich dance party.
How about linking Astrology in the mix? Putting the star constellations out and about and all throughout ........ just a thought. If not you could base it off just another world-scape such as Alice in wonderland type background or a mixture of many. I myself like the idea of a totally dark room where, before hand, many go in with punctured glow sticks on strings and spin them by hand releasing the contents inside the room creating a galaxy affect...............
Just throwing it out there. Maybe this one-pager could be a special invitation persuading Elon Musk to come to this festival. He's arguably the biggest 'star' in space right now. Also, it would be pretty funny picturing Elon Musk at a music festival - dancing.
Call something out like "Space Y" and so something with the "Y" as in "Why" :) Of course mentioning that music is required as basic necessity when going to Space, that inthat way space travel would develop much much quicker and so on :)
An idea that is probably very bad: LHC collisions recreating the very first moments of the universe, connecting somehow human technology to space, etc.. You could for instance mimic a collision event, then creating a mini big bang, move from the infinitely small to the infinitely big, and then you can have pictures of space, stars, galaxies and all that.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
Are we not all star dust?

In the heavens upon high,

Magical, I love it. Thanks for the heartfelt poem!

It’s in South Asia. Yeah we’re still only doing an event a month or so, and I’m more into blockchain talk these days so..

Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Uncle-Milton-Star-Science-Lightsaber/dp/B00339NPFW/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1511082466&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=mini+lightsaber

Here is a link to a trilogy of space poems I wrote and posted some time back. They my or may not be helpful, but at least will provide you with a moment of entertainment. https://steemit.com/poetry/@beginningtoend/part-three-deep-and-beyond-a-poetic-space-trilogy
You just said friend. You are right

Nice suggestion! Keeping tabs on this!
oh, I am happy I was useful) Hope to see photos from the festival)
A huge divide where even though everything is very futuristic it is very grungy and almost apocolypse dystopian. Maybe even a dark cyber punk feel. of corse alot of blacklights and smoke. maybe some simple sloagans written around telling people big brother is watching or obey or something like that. graffiti on stuff to make it look more cyberpunk would be kool too. even crossing out of a slogan or two. strobes on the dance floor and all the light shows ect to where the dance floor area is almost a transformation to a really futuristic luxury disco. it would add more to the divide feeling of the raw cyberpunk look and the high class rich dance party.
Not sure if we're ever going for some dark industrial mood, but great idea! Thank you.
I was thinking more of a cyberdog look but yeah.
:D
hope it turns out great.

Oh I love this one!
Glad you like it brother! Have fun, live a lil' and be safe. The world is your movie go experience and create.

LOL funny indeed. I like the idea. Excellent use for the holographic panel if we get to import the tech! Edit: but probably need to get some approval.

I hope I helped (otherwise, never mind :p )
