Getting Through Gate

Hey there, I have super important stuff you should read!!

Squeezie returning with the last minute reminder of how to successfully pass through Gate without being routed into the Blackhole Zone or told you cannot pass.

To pass through Gate, you must have all your chevrons in order.

> First and foremost, you must have purchased a ticket! We do not sell tickets at Gate.

I really don't like turning people away for this reason, but it will be done.

> You must have a valid legal ID with a name that matches the name you purchased your ticket with.

Dead names are real and we don't want to cause you extra stress, so please reach out to Gate via email if this applies to you.

> You cannot bring: Firewood, Fireworks/explosives, Firearms, or Pets/Animals.

We are currently in a burn ban, so it's awkward to remind that we do supply firewood, but just in case... If you do bring any of these things, you will be asked to take them to a safe location off site before you're allowed admittance.

> If you arrive after Gate Close, you are NOT allowed to enter the event. There are consequences if you do.

If you know you will be arriving late, email Gate and we'll work with you!

There is a Late Arrival parking lot. DO NOT park on the road. There will be a sign lit up that denotes this area. You are free to set up your tent if it's more comfortable to sleep that way versus your car seat.

> Gate is closer to the main road than last year! We're not directly up on the road, but don't be surprised if you go "this feels off" when you pull up to us.

> Please remember we're all just volunteers and we understand that your travel may have been rough and you're the mix of excited/tired/stressed. Don't take it out on us...

Last but not least... Read the mf survival guide!!!! All of this information, and more (like Gate Hours), is found in it. We don't promise to give a quiz at Gate, but we haven't decided yet.

See you all soon!!

Mosaic 2023 Gate 101

Listen up and give your undivided attention to our Gate Leads, Squeezie and Zoe, as they give you the details on the must-haves and do-not-brings for a hassle-free journey through Gate and into the world of Celestial Chaos.

Must Have #1: Read the Survival Guide

Before you arrive at the gate, read the Survival Guide. It's like your event manual, covering everything you need to know, from how things work to the most important rules. Find it here. Seriously, read it.

Must Have #2: Legal ID

Your ID is a vital key to the adventure, and it must be a legal ID with your name matching what's on your ticket. If you go by a different name than what's on your ID, we're here to support you. Please send an email to gate@mosaicexperiment.com to ensure that our volunteers don’t use any deadnames while welcoming you Home.

Must Have #3: Secure Your Ticket

Now, onto the topic of tickets. Ensure you have either a physical copy or a saved digital version from Brown Paper Tickets. It’s crucial we’re able to get your ticket info to match it to our records and sometimes phone signals at Reclaim can be as unpredictable as a sudden rain shower on packout day. Make sure you can present your ticket with no cell service.

What NOT to Bring

Now, let's talk about things you shouldn't bring. Leave your pets at home. The only exception to this is if you have an ADA Certified service animal. Say no to lasers, firewood, fireworks, and firearms. Trying to sneak these items in? Our gate crew won't be too happy about it, and neither will you when you have to make another long drive to go drop these items off back home.

COVID-19 Safety

No need to show proof of vaccination this year, but we do strongly recommend having your Covid booster and flu shots current. Additionally, we strongly encourage you to practice Civic Responsibility and do a Covid-19 self-test before coming. The safety of the community and those back home is our priority. If you feel sick or test positive, be responsible: don’t come to the event.

Now that you know the basics of Gate, get packing! We can’t wait to welcome you back Home to the Razorgrass for Mosaic Experiment 2023: Celestial Chaos!
