In May 2008, Larry Harvey and Marian Goodell paid a visit to the Vancouver Burner community to celebrate the DVD release of the cult classic Juicy Danger Meets Burning Man.

Following the premiere, there was a Q&A session where Larry and Marian answered questions directly from the Vancouver community. Ever wonder about Larry’s thoughts on social change, or his vision of the future of Burning Man culture?

Now you can witness his and Marian’s responses to these questions and more here.

Greetings friends!

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything. I just have to share with everyone how freaking excited I am getting about the creation of Everywhere Lane on the playa.

Everywhere Lane is going to be located at 6:15 and Esplanade and is THE place to stop by to find out what is happening in the Burning world year-round.

The Regional Network Center will be open from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM daily with real, live Regional Contacts on hand to answer your questions and help you get connected to your local burner community.

Burners without Borders, the Black Rock Arts Foundation and Black Rock Solar will be our neighbors.

We’re working hard to collaborate and create a unique way to meet the folks working to keep the fires burning year-round.

Not long now. We head out next week to start construction on Everywhere Lane. More coming soon.

Until then.

Giddyup!

What better spot to stop off after a visit to Playa del Fuego than Manhattan and the Five Burroughs for a few days? This was an action-packed, blink-of-the-eye visit to NY.

Have you heard of Governors Island? It’s a little isle on the Hudson that used to belong to the military and government. It boasts two different forts from the war of 1812 as well as military quarters for the officers stationed there. After 9/11, President Bush sold the island to NY for $1. It now hosts a slew of cultural and temporary events and things are currently ramping up there for Summer 2008. Read more »
