Notes

Azimuth is a free camp-out style party, brought to you by your family and friends at Bside. Although our motivation is from the heart, we do not have bottomless pockets; donations are welcome. If you would like to contribute/volunteer (parking, set-up, clean-up, games supervision, etc.) please contact us by phone at 254-3468 or e-mail us. We should have the sound system set up by the middle of the afternoon (4-5 p.m.) and will be providing beats from that time till sometime Sunday afternoon. Bring a loved one, lotions, potions and lots of water, wine, food, warm clothing and shelter. Most of all bring your phattest attitude.

Please respect the site, remember to take with you all that you bring. All help, cleaning and maintaining the site is appreciated.

The Azimuth site is 30 km from the closet store. If planning on picking up supplies or gasoline do so in Squamish. We will have a supply of water available, but we are uncertain how many of you will be attending. Please bring all the water you plan on consuming and a bit more. The river water is silty but perfectly safe to drink.
