Thanks! See you on the playa!
Big thanks to everyone who came (biked) out to UN Plaza on Friday. It was a great way to re-activate downtown. Both times we have done events down there, foreigners have come up to me in sheer bewilderment: What is this? Who are you? How can you do this? After a brief explanation they always walk away murmuring something about how great this city is. And I’m forced to look up, take a breath, smile and agree….
Friday marked the beginning of the annual playa pilgrimage. While the Flux Foundation is taking the year off to focus on bringing BrollyFlock to the Nocturnal Festival in September, there are many other Cowboys working on various art projects and I wish them the best as they make final preparations; our own Mararet Long is spearheading the Flaming Lotus Girls’ Tympani Lambada, and FOCs Pete Hudson, Orion Fredericks, Marco Cochrane and their crews all creating things that we can’t wait to see.
We’ll see you out there too. The Cowboys as usual have made some pre-playa improvements to the UNIMOG and our ranch (now with poker saloon) and we’ve got a jam packed schedule for you to rock out to.
Including the 15th Annual (I lost count actually) Black Rock Hoe Down on Friday night (location tbd)
Full SC Burning Man schedule to come… watch this space!
UNIMOG at UN Plaza this Friday!
This is a call for pARTicipation! In the spirit of Burning Man, we invite YOU to come out to celebrate and pARTicipate in the launch of the Burning Man Project non-profit. Whatever your unique style of participation, BRING IT to help mark this momentous occasion at San Francisco’s UN Plaza next Friday August 5th from 5pm to 8pm!
anything except fire, sorry!
Here’s a video from NBC about Burning Man’s hopes for the mid-Market area, which we now call home: http://bit.ly/mPpMFN
