AND SO IT BEGINS...

At the midpoint between burns, we gather as a community to reflect on last
year’s American Dreams and this year’s EVOLUTION as a world community! This February also happens to be the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin and the
150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species.

This Burnal Equinox we will also be joined by almost 100 volunteer Burning
Man regional contacts and amazing community organizers from around the
globe, who will be in town for our Burning Man Regional Summit. Come meet
them and find out what the Burning Man community is doing year-round! We
will be featuring imagery from Burning Man regional events and community
projects here, there and EVERYWHERE!

So, come stir up the magical energy of Burnal Equinox again as we stand at
the mid-point in our burning year. Evolutionary attire especially encouraged
at this Flambe Lounge! ...Plenty of art, primordial goo and dancing on two
floors and an outside waterfront patio!

~ LARRY HARVEY CINNAMON BUN DECLARED "NOT A HOAX"
The eBay seller claims this cinnamon bun revealed itself to him at the Stonestown Mall in 2005 and that it's been kept in a box ever since. AND IT HAS NOT GONE STALE. With 23 bids, the price is holding at $40. Nine days left. Plenty of time to get in a last-second snipe bid, mount it in a box and charge people a "gift" on the playa to behold it.

~ Bob Hofmann: Of Bonefires and Mothtraps
Aptos resident Bob "Bonefire Bob" Hofmann has been attending Burning Man since 1996. Probably best known for his recreational flamethrowers called Bonefires, Bob has also also built a pedal-power flamethrower called Tri-Psycho and last year rolled out "Mothtrap", a platform-mounted, propane-powered percussive instrument that toured the nighttime playa.

: include yourself. include others.
Burning Beach organizers were inspired by Burning Man to create a community in the Santa Cruz area that promotes unusual artistic expression - anything from fire spinning classes and EL wire workshops to theme camp planning and brainstorming sessions around a pot of soup. Our motto, "Include yourself. Include others." is meant to encourage people to not only participate, but do so in a way that inspires others to find creativity within themselves.
