SUNDAY SHOW UPDATE (PHEEL @ 11.30AM)
Our photoshop guy Sucks. He went to Primus instead of updating the Sunday schedule info tonight. Who even does that ffs (Get a Life dawg). The new schedule might eventually show Pheel starting at 11.30am (the rest stays the same). You'll have to accept our words for it until then. We're good for it.
RENDEZVOUS ESSENTIAL INFO
Rendezvous Map, Renegades, & Kouches OH MY!
Here is your Map for the weekend. We have some FAQ’s and (P’s & Q’s). Read all the way Down - Spread The Word. By the #’s:
1/ Here are the venue guidelines /private-policy/
keep on scrolling (and scrolling) down. It's all there. More questions? Get In Touch has all the contacts for the Park at the bottom of the CONTACTS page on the same website. Ticket Questions? 386-364-1683 (Hrs 8am - 5pm)
2/ All you ‘Renny Stages’ got to keep it lowwww, because if the Park neighbors hear you? Security isn’t playing this year. Help us Help YOU. The Park needs to keep it quiet after hours because they are trying to impress the County to get us ALL some upgrades for future shows. Show everyone you’re the smartest Renny - not the Loudest. Otherwise its a long drive back home with no wristband and you missed Tipper. Nuff Said? You got this…
3/ Now to all you Kouch boppers out there.. Keep it in the bacK in KouchLand! If you take it below the ’steps’ (can’t miss them) you will get one chance to return to the Kingdom of Komfy. We Good? Security doesn’t want to have to "burst your bubble”. And yes - camp chairs are welcome (and mildly encouraged) for the same area closer around to the Soundboard. Just keep them in rows like last TnF. Why all this? Medical or Security may need to respond quickly, so please let us organize you so its equal parts safe and intimate. We appreciate this beautiful spirit of cooperation in advance. :)
4/ Box Office Hours close Midnight tonight (Wednesday), and reopen tomorrow @ 8am. Box Office will stay open after that all the way through Thursday Night until Midnight Friday. Saturday is 8am to Midnight. With your $25 Car Pass yes you may come and go. Please remember as posted on Monday night and with previous years, we do not replace ‘lost’ wristbands or sell new ones. Tickets are taken offline Thursday Midnight, but they will not last that late (it's showing 31 left rn).
5/ We will post the Daily Schedules that fit your telephonic device screens tomorrow morning. Any more Questions? See #1 :)
TIPPER MEMORABILIA DROP
FOMO. Don’t let it mess with You. Attendees at The Rendezvous (and other events) shouldn’t have to spend a long time standing on a line missing out on performances just to buy a special ‘merch drop’ for them or their friends (or ‘associates’) asking them to buy for them too because they can’t make it to the show. Heaven forbid some of those garments end up being sold online later for an exorbitant amount to uber fans that couldn’t make the show, but that FOMO got them yearning for that item at any cost. If you’re buying a weekend pass for $200+ you should be able to watch the show in front of the stage, and not spend a bunch of time standing in the heat waiting your turn to buy a Hoodie or Tshirt. What if they’re out of your size or style by the time its finally your turn? Nah… Instead, Tipper’s team and The Rendezvous have read all the comments on social media, and realized the wisest and fairest move is to simply sell his memorabilia solely online instead. We will also present the event poster online for preorder after the event in a week or two. This means EVERYONE can buy when they want, what they want in whatever size, and there will always be inventory made to meet the demand over time. It additionally means pricing will stay the same, so no price gauging or black marketing etc later. This also means no standing in 90 degree heat (or a flash Florida downpour) this weekend. Tipper’s team will have the product page link for online order’s emailed out very soon. Please enjoy the Weekend everyone :)
NO BOX OFFICE SALES THIS WEEKEND (PLEASE READ)
This is not a ‘fomo’ post. F*K FOMO. This has been a ‘WOMO' (Word Of MOuth) event from the get go, as we have not spent a single dollar on marketing or sponsored ads etc. To ‘Rendezvous’ is a very French way to say a Meeting or Date that is arranged to come together at a particular time and place. Britannica Dictionary says it is often a secret (ie a romantic rendezvous) :) The quality and originality of the lineup this year, along with the weekend experience in general has spoken for itself, and its obvious homies have been telling their homies for months now. Fans are coming from as far away as the west coast and beyond for their first time at The Park. We are always very humbled, and going to honor this vibe with the following announcement:
As we edge closer to our absolute capacity (7500 passes - a little under 200 left), we are announcing today THERE WILL BE NO TICKET SALES AFTER MIDNIGHT THURSDAY EVENING (if there are still passes left at that time). PLEASE do not plan on coming to the Box Office on Friday morning, or at all over the weekend intending to purchase Entry to the event. You will unfortunately be turned away. @suwanneemusicpark will also not be selling/replacing ‘lost' wristbands this weekend. We will not oversell this event and go over capacity @ The Amp Stage. We owe it to everyone hoping to have the time of their lives this weekend to keep it comfy. We are super inspired and enthusiastic about what we're putting together, and hoping it will be another amazing edition to add to our previous weekends. We will post EVENT FAQ’s tailored to our weekend Wednesday AND Thursday morning.
FIRE PERFORMER APPLICATIONS
There are many sacred fire traditions. Fire rituals are at times performed as a means of purification, symbolizing the cleansing of the soul and the renewal of life. These rituals reflect the belief in the transformative power of fire. Fire Dancing history spans many cultures and countries that incorporate Dance into ceremonies and gatherings, where an eternal flame is a small fire that keeps burning as a symbol to show something never ends.
Combining the elements of fire and dance, The Rendezvous is inviting Fire Performer applications to participate in a Remembrance Burn Friday & Saturday night at 2am for approximately 1 hour in celebration of our festival family and loved ones lost in recent times. Link to the Google Form with more information below. (Deadline for applications is Midnight this Sunday).
