- DETAILS & PHOTOS
Ever since Larry began revealing the '06 theme, it's reverberated more throughout the Project than any other. Starting with the Burning Man board retreat in October, the six members hashed out their lives. Then senior staff and full-time office staff spent six days meeting, reviewing this year's event. For the first time ever the majority of the retreat was spent talking about the future—the 5 year future, even the 10 year future.
“We all seemed to agree that we are reaching a new comfort level with the event, a certain confidence in how we're approaching things. We're still learning about managing people, process and community. We're still learning about how to create a society, if only for 8 days in the desert. But for many of the past 10 years we have been driven by the possibility the event might not even happen. We've struggled, fighting for survival. Living on adrenaline, we've learned to face our fears, but now that we've apparently come through, we're forced to ask ourselves: What was all this effort for? For the mere right to exist, or for the hope of being and becoming something more? Very fortunately for us, we're not alone, as it sometimes seemed in the past. Instead, we are surrounded by great and fertile and brilliant community of people—and it's now their hopes and their initiatives that spur us on.”
—Maid Marian, Jack Rabbit Speaks, v10 #9

If you know Chris Schmidt, since he works at Platial, maybe he has some leverage over their onerous Conditions.

Here's the easy part. Each section is made from HULA HOOPS - PVC SPRINKLER PIPE AND BED SHEETS... that's It! There are no special tools or expensive materials required. You can decorate it as much or as little as you want. The fiery and animated head will be created by Burning Man artist Jim Bowers, creator of the Eyes Of Gawd.
