On the wind-whipped, rain-beaten shores of Sweden's west coast we took a stand. As the respite of summer fades back into the wet, cold misery and on into the snow-forlorn winter of this miserable coast we saw a moment. The summer crowds scattered. The sun not quite gone yet. And we seized it.

A gathering unlike anything the Elixir community had ever seen before. It was not the size. There have been many much bigger. It was not the legendary cast, although there were legends. Still we have seen more impressive line-ups. It was the people, the intent, the willingness to engage. A hopeful promise of something unusual was made. The people responded in kind. A pact was formed. A different event. And with that it became what it was.

We return to Varbergs Teater. We return again, a small event. Our hope is to once more offer an earnest promise to do something different. Our hope is to see you all again.
