After the sun sets at the Horizons: Perspectives on Psychedelics conference, doors will open at Twilight, a benefit party for MAPS.

Benefactors will enjoy expedited entry into Twilight, and access to a small reserved area that includes beverages and fresh fruit throughout the night. 

Musical acts: 

Roots of Creation
"This band has perfected a Jam-Reggae sound...rhythmic jams dusted with an electronica flavor and boosted by funk-rock riffs. When just four guys can go to this many funky and interesting places, you want to go with them. This is definitely a band to catch - as the title of the CD suggests - live." - Jon Sobel / New Indie CDs

Biodiesel
BioDiesel lies in razor thin space between band and dj, synthetic and human, man and machine, steadily churning out their environmentally friendly Intelligent Dance Music. The mission to save the world one show at a time continues...

Sophistafunk
"Sophistafunk has a genre-destroying range of musical ability and mix of socially-conscious lyrics. Much of the trio’s set was spent rifling through thick instrumental funk, fluid vocals, soul crooning, metal, reggae and intricate interplay between Adam Gold’s four-keyboard setup and Emanuel Washington’s drums -- an infectious journey that left the full crowd gasping for air."
- Dan Rys, The Daily Free Press (Boston)

Twilight will feature auctions of rare psychedelic memorabilia, including laboratory glassware from Sasha Shulgin’s lab, signed Albert Hofmann collector’s items, original visionary and limited addition artworks, and one-of-a-kind jewelry and custom clothing.  (Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin and his partner Ann documented the creation and exploration of MDMA, 2C-B, and hundreds of other psychedelic compounds in their books PIHKAL and TIHKAL; Albert Hofmann, Ph.D., is the late chemist who invented LSD in 1938).

*Twilight will be held less than 2 blocks from Horizons, giving attendees plenty of time to eat and relax before a night out with MAPS.
