It’s Saturday afternoon, I’ve gathered the core team at the venue,door,bar, DPW, fire, there all here looking over the space, getting the lay of the land. So
many idea’s so much inspiration. Dust Off is going to be awesome,I can feel it!

If you have an art project, or a need to preview the venue, we will be doing another site visit Saturday Sept. 24th at 12:00 noon. Come on out and
reserve your mini theme space, and work with the decor team to place your art project. Lets share a communal vision for the space.

21 days till we dust off….

That’s right, we have the ability to take your gift of time. Thank you very much to those people that make this
event happen, without you, it would not be possible.

Driving home from work, and I passed a car all covered in playa dust, 2 bikes strapped to the back, motoring down the 99 towards Vancouver. That was the moment i realized I missed
burning man.

My heart felt real heavy, and I almost wanted to cry. I really wanted to stop them, and touch the playa, smear it on my face. But then I got up along side this playafied vehicle, and saw the tired weary travelers,that looked like they hadn’t showered or slept is days. Then I wasn’t so sad anymore… In fact I was a bit relieved.I can only imagine the creativity you dusty fuckers experienced out in that magic place this summer. You’re a lucky bunch, believe it. Nobody else except you and 52,000 of your closest friends got to experience the temple’s magnitude, or got to climb that big ass sculpture out in deep playa, feel the heatof the fire balls around the man burn. You did it, you lived it, I just watched on Ustream. You are bringing that flame of Burning Man back into our lives for all to experience, all of it’s creativity, love, and excitement.spread it all around, cause it’s your gift, to tell the tale of the playa.

So this is it… it’s burner new years today, and I just ate a nice breakfast free of playa dust, I even have running water for washing my dishes, and life is good. I thought I would really miss the playa, but it’s been OK. Watching the CORE burn on FB was a bit tough, I wanted to be there with my peeps…

Organizing Dust off has been a very good distraction from the lack of playa dust in my life, I just hope you all aren’t to tired from your life changing experiences and other hippie manifestations to make this party go off, like it should!
