Stay alert: The desert is full of natural surprises, including

but not limited to snakes, bugs, inclement weather, and

uneven ground. It is important to watch where you are walking

and shake out your shoes before putting them on. Boots and

flashlights are encouraged.

Be a good neighbor: Please respect fellow Cosmonauts by

cleaning up after your dogs, keeping noise down after midnight

and putting all trash in designated receptacles. Courtesy and

low impact on the land are our guiding principles.

Respect the elements: Due to periodic fire bans and

windy conditions, fires are only permitted in designated areas

and only at certain times. El Cosmico staff will discuss fire

conditions with you upon check in. If you smoke cigarettes,

please extinguish them in the ash cans provided and make sure

they are out completely before leaving them unattended.

Bring your own tent and any necessary supplies, if you've

purchased a music + camping ticket.

Generators & extension cords are not permitted.

Campfires are not allowed on property due to fire hazard.

Communal spaces with fire pits are available for use such as

grills in the communal kitchen and fire pit next to the Highland

House.

THE MANANIFESTO

If you have been to Marfa or places like it, you may have experienced Mañana. Mañana cannot

generally be found in cities with more than one stoplight. Mañana doesn’t care about email or normal

hours of operation. Mañana recognizes that we can’t all have everything we want at any given

moment, like peaches in January or cell phone reception in West Texas. Mañana is the anticipation

that it might happen today, and it might just as likely not, and really either way it’s not that big of a

deal. The key to Mañana lies somewhere in the unspecified future. It holds the great promise of hope.

El Cosmico is at the center of this exodus from a world of urgency, and flies its Mañana flag proudly.

This is not to be understood as irreverence for timeliness and progress. We believe in those things

too. But life gets busy. The way you thought things would go just aren’t the way they end up. Maybe

the pack rats have chewed the phone lines. Best intentions are waylaid. But it seems like sometimes

the only way to make something really amazing is through a steady balance of kicking the dirt around

and napping. This is what we do.

The good news: eventually mañana arrives. The tomorrows of our dreams become the todays of our

reality. Our tomorrow has come, and El Cosmico is proudly open for business. We know that mañana

continues to promise new magic, and we see good things just over the horizon. But for now we’re

happy to sit back in the hammock and celebrate today.
