Came across this while looking into things to do this summer, thought it might be an event folks here might be into. Looks like it's being put on by the Black Butte folks. I don't know much about it personally and don't know if I'll be able to make it, but it looks like it could be a lot of fun and wanted to share!

The description from the website:
"The BBCRC is honored to be partnering with the Siskiyou Arts Museum, the Historic Graffiti Society, Burn Barrel Press and an amazing array of individuals artists, photographers, musicians, filmmakers and other supporters to present the End of the Line Moniker Show this June 9-12, 2022. The event will be held at both the BBCRC in Weed and in Dunsmuir, in conjunction with the annual Railroad Days celebration.
We had originally planned to host this event in 2020 but suffered a two-year delay due to the pandemic. The event will include art shows at both BBCRC and at Siskiyou Arts Museum, focused on historic and present-day monikers and related aspects of railroad culture. In both Dunsmuir and at Black Butte we will be trackside so you can view the train action in two beautiful settings!

Visitors, overnight and otherwise, will be expected to meet expectations regarding fire safety, Covid protocols (to be determined based on the situation at the time but please be vaxxed), and being respectful of one another, our local community and our natural environment. There can be a lot of drama in the moniker/graff world and there may well be people attending you don't like. Leave your beefs at home or don't come.
We expect people to treat each other with respect and we will NOT tolerate creepy, homophobic or racist language, displays or behavior.
We plan to have a detailed "Visitor Guide" available by the time of the show. Overnight visitors will be asked to for a modest donation to help cover BBCRC/EOTL costs but nobody will be turned away for lack of funds.

Nick Hans
Nick Shoulders
Nick Wortham

FILMS:
Line-up will be announced soon. Stay tuned... and expect an epic night!
MERCH TABLES:
We plan on having merch tables at both Black Butte and in Dunsmuir, should you be interested in selling railroad culture related materials. More on this soon.
VOLUNTEERS AND DONATIONS
We will need a lot of help from our community of friends to pull this off, both in advance and during the show! We will likely have a work party in mid/late May (date TBA) which will be focused on site improvements at BBCRC, including work on one or more of our railcars. Please contact us at info@bbcrc.org if you would like to help out!
We also need financial help! Putting on this show costs thousands of dollars, everything from porta-potties to printing and mailing costs, some travel stipends and all sorts of site preparation. First, we just need straight up financial donations right now! You can do this online via PayPal (donations@bbcrc.org or see our "Helping Page")
Make sure to specify that your donation is for the End of the Line show!
Soon we will have some cool merch to sell to help support the show, including Pat Perry's amazing flyer. Also, please be generous when you do attend and kick in for musicians and site costs as you are able!
We are also looking for a limited number of "sponsors" mainly local businesses, to provide financial and in-kind donations to the show. Please hit us up if you are interested!
ORGANIZING TEAM/CONTACT:
