YET ANOTHER Opulent fundraiser...

Let's face it..big camps, big sound, big names, big lights. It all takes big funding to be transported to, constructed at, and transported home from the playa. So let's show some fucking BIG support, yea?! Hosted by UV99 Laser Productions (responsible for the most epic lights in the desert besides Roswell) at the MontBleu Resort in South Lake Tahoe, from 9:00 pm - 5:00 am. The lineup isn't solid yet, but will be available on May 18th. Check The Wannablog for more updates!

May Day!

Electro/Acid House night of thump! May 1st at The California Club in Old Town Auburn, only five bucks for all the delicious beats/juicy blaps you can take. DJs Moondrop, BGAZ, and Cedrus will be selecting their finest tunes to delight hungry listeners and keep Auburn sizzling into the night. A good time for SURE! So come and support your local DJs!

Temple-ary dreaming..

YO! The new temple looks like it's gonna be a breath of fresh dust..I love these sketches. Of course they're just brainstormed up, probably not going to be exactly what it'll look like. But still a new vision and direction to one of my favorite playa places.




Here's a link to their website.

Opulent fundraiser..

The Biggest Little Opulent Party will be in Reno on April 17th. Jeff Taisch, Syd Gris, and more yet to be announced! According to their website, this will be the camps eighth year on the playa and they're going to be scaling things back during Metropolis..

"I (Syd) speak for myself when I share I'm quite disenfranchised with the way many segments of the BM org can barely tolerate us ('us', as in sound camps) let alone recognize our significant contribution to what makes BM awesome and drives ticket sales. Larry Harvey (by his own admission)has never even been to Opulent Temple and seen what magic happens, and still seems to have a major attitude towards 'the ravers'."

...OUCH! Well, shit..the least we can do is show some support and let em know how much we appreciate what they do and enjoy the service they provide. Ever since hearing my first drop at Opulent, nothing's tasted as sweet. Let's go Opulent 2010!

Ecstacy in San Francisco?!

Above is a photo of Dan Das Mann and Karen Cusolito's monumental sculpture, "Ecstacy". Some of you may recognize her figure, she was out on the playa in 2007 with seven similar pieces that encircled the 99 foot tall Oil Derrick which blew up on Saturday night. Each figure was in a praise of homage, representing different religions around the world, and each was directed towards the tower itself. What an unforgettable moment!

She'll be at Patricia's Green in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of SF until June, which is when I'm guessing she'll start her journey to the dust. A reception is being held on March 19th from 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm. Below is a link for more information.

Camp Wannaburn needs a new image..

Here's a recent suggestion for the new Camp Wannaburn image (by haakenson). I love the idea. We need a new icon, something that represents us as the communal collective we are. We could use it on gifts, the flag, and our new t-shirts! Keep your minds and eyes open for anything that would work. If you come up with an idea, leave a comment!
