正月 SHOGATSU AFTERPARTY

Every year since The Greenhouse began in the late 90s we have had a multi-day party in the days after Shogatsu.

90年代の終わりにグリーンハウスが始まって以来毎年、毎年恒例となっているお正月パーティーのお知らせで御座います。

This year we will have a chillout gathering starting on the Friday after New Year's Day and extending through the National Holiday on Monday the 9th.

今年も私たちはゆるり、とオープンハウスをします。正月始め最初の金曜日（６日））から月曜日(９日)にかけゆるゆるしますのでみなさんいらしゃあいませんか。

What kind of party it becomes is up to the people who come. We encourage you to bring your instruments and, if you DJ, your best downtempo trance and ambient.

どんな楽しいパーティーになるかは自由な想像のカタチ次第です。

また、私たちは、みんなが表現手段として楽器や音楽をもってくることを楽しみにしています。

We will charge only 1000 yen per day (which will help to keep the place warm everywhere), and ask that you eat only from our cafeteria-style kitchen, not bringing your own food. There will be tasty meals and homebaked snacks available throughout the party.

You will be asked on entry to buy at least 2000 yen's worth of EarthlingZ money to use for food and drink purchases -- the usual routine.

グ リーンハウスでは１日１０００円だけかかります。（これはグリーンハウスをルーティーンさせる為に必要なおかねです。） 私たちはカフェテリアスタイルのオーガニックキッチンでおいしいおいしい料理とホームメードのケーキを用意してお待ちしていますので食べ物の持込について はお忘れください。

ご飯や飲み物、チーズケーキを２０００円分のEarthlingZチケットを購入して十分楽しんでください。

People who are willing to take a turn helping with staffwork or undertaking some other such responsibility will receive discounts or freebies.

また責任を持ってスタッフを出来る人は割引または"freebie"がもらえます。

Winter Solstice

There comes a point when the relentless march of the sunrise and the sunset stops and after 2 or 3 days the sun starts moving back along the horizon.

That point is called the solstice. The word means literally 'the sun stands still.' That's what Stonehenge was built to celebrate. The shamans of the day would have called the most important community leaders to a ritual to celebrate the continuing cycles of nature.

'We're going round one more time. There will be a spring. There will be a sowing. There will be a harvest, life will go on."
