Get ready to float!

We’re opening our calendar in stages, starting Wednesday, February 25th. In our crowdfunding campaign last fall, we promised our backers that they could get in to the tanks first. So:

1) First shot goes to our crowdfund backers: check your email at noon on Wednesday the 25th.

2) Everyone who preordered should check their email at noon on Saturday the 28th.

Our calendar will be open to everyone on Wednesday, March 4th!

Thank you, everyone, for your patience and ongoing support! It means so much to us.
