Burning Man 2006, "Hope and Fear: the Future"

The TriBe is planning another large scale art project for Burning Man 2006, and we'd like to invite you and your friends to be a part of it. In 2006 we are going to break the Guinness Worlds Record for the longest Chinese Festival Dragon! The current record is 1.89 miles, set at the great wall of China. We will attempt to break that record by connecting 530 twenty foot body sections together on the playa.

Made From HULA HOOPS!
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.
So build as little as 10 feet or get your whole camp together - throw a dragon building party weekend - and build a 100 footer!

Take a look at our step by step online tutorial. Complete with photgraphs tips, tricks and a dash of Burning Man humor. Sign up to build the dragon and subscribe to our burningdragon yahoo groups chat list. The dragon is already over two football fields long and participants are throwing out new ideas and posting their own project snapshots.

NO SPECTATORS! BE THE DRAGON!

Hugs not handshakes,

Nym, Platial demands pretty harsh Terms and Privacy agreements. By comparison, Robot Co-op seeks much more generous and less commerce-driven terms for 43 Places.

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

Will there be valet parking?

In accoradnce with Radical Self Reliance(tm) BM is a bring your own valet (byov) event.

And where are the public trash receptacles?
