A few pieces of BIG news around Burn BC.

topic posted Tue, February 26, 2008 - 10:23 AM by  Napalm
Hello my friends, Cascadians, Burners, and Freakazoid Robots!!!

I'm feeling beautiful this morning as the sun shines brightly asking me to go out and play.
I'm feeling this way because there are wonderful waves and currents flowing around our networks, and communities.
The year is getting underway and I'm feeling very excited about the momentum.

I'm also buzzing with glee this morning, because last night I spent an hour on the phone with an original member of The Cacophony Society & The Suicide Club. He was very straight up and has a solid perspective.

One very funny irony I drew from our conversation was that Guns brought two very different kinds of people together in the Desert back in 1990 to 1994. If it wasn't for Guns there would be no Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert.
(No Joke, True Story, I know "Ironic in the extreme").

This conversation gave me a fresh and solid perspective from which to reflect upon.
After this wonderful conversation, I'm coming to many positive conclusions today, and feel very comfortable about my personal direction in the coming months and years.

I look forward to the creative adventures ahead.
Woot!

"An ionic Adventure into the Abyss."
"Searching for negative ions and filling the Void."

The BC Ion Society has expressed interest in conducting an Ionic Adventure into the Abyss.
We will be heading out into a wild, open and alien environment, searching for negative Ions and filling the Void.
We don't know where it will take us or what will happen.
The unknown awaits.

If we find a place in the great beyond that is suitable for cohabitation and co-creation.
It will become the future home of.

We will manage an interactive stage and host music.

Some really cool ideas have already come out of our initial inquiries.

>> Burn BC Summer Carnival Bazaar <<
Date: Summer
Time: 12pm to 2am
Location: TBD

This one has been in the mix since last year.
We're looking to create an environment that invites our community members to play, share, and enjoy a festive environment.
Most likely it will happen at a location that can transition from a day time to night time event.
Yesterday I spoke with a person who's been wanting to create something in a similar vain.
We are talking about a potential cooperative project.

>> International Pillow Fight Day! <<
Date: March 22
Time: 3pm Sharp!
Location: The Art Gallery (Robson Side)

Get the word out on this one!!!
Inspired by the San Francisco Valentines Pillow Fight, "The First Saturday of Spring" Pillow fight that started in Vancouver, has gone international.
New Mind Space created www.pillowfightday.com to post the cities participating in this.
It is very exciting that Vancouver created something, set it free and now it's taken root.

Tell EVERYONE, to be there.
It is now official: No one organizes it, everyone spreads the word.
It is now a beast of it's own and a yearly tradition that takes place on the First Saturday of Spring.
