Thanks to Maki‘s beautiful illustration, we were able to come up with a layout for an 11 x 17. The limited edition poster will be similar in design. This, however, is the poster that we’re putting up around town.

Thanks also to our friends at Christmas City Printing. {Geologic Universe Trivia: Christmas City Printing did all the offset litho for the award-winning Interrobang.}

The Maestro constructed a to-scale model of the entire set for the concert, complete with orchestra members.

We can’t show you the whole thing, obviously, but it’s pretty damn cool.
And slightly trippy.

Maki Naro is a damn genius.

Thanks again to Matt Rogers for his generosity and his excellent work.

PLEASE NOTE
Rooms are NOW available. Please book by phone.

We’re proud of our City, and the Historic District, in particular, is dear to our hearts and has been home to Geologic Headquarters for two decades. The Hotel Bethlehem is a special part of the Downtown Bethlehem experience and we couldn’t be happier that they have worked with us to make this room block possible. They have been voted Best Hotel in the Lehigh Valley in 2010 and 2011. We can see why. Their people could not have been more accommodating when working with us on these details.

You can buy your ticket to the IceHouse concert at EventBrite at our 21812 page.

You’ll find a list of package options, show details, and, what should be a very hassle-free way to secure your tickets.

Thanks to Evo Terra and Jeff Moriarty for the assistance in setting this up.
And thanks to Matt Rogers for the screen grab art.

In which Geo inspires complete loyalty and affection from his orchestra.

This photo is from the Geologic archives and was taken after the first Geologic concert, Moravian College, November 1994. That was followed by a Geologic concert in 1995, also at Moravian College. The next concert didn’t occur until 2002 at the IceHouse, followed by performances in 2003, 2004, 2005, and the last in 2006.

The 2012 IceHouse concert will then be much like a tenth anniversary of IceHouse concerts. We hope to see you there!
