Danger Ranger seen driving through Arizona:
Keep up to date on Danger Ranger’s road trip, by reading his journal entries. He has already modified his original path and has by-passed Flagstaff. He called a few hours ago and is in Wickenburg, AZ on his way to Phoenix where a gathering will be held tomorrow (Sat. May 19th). If you’d like info on attending that event, please email: arizona@burningman.com

NEW INFO:
In the near future we’ll post the results of our past 2 meetings with the BLM and other agency “cooperators”. (the most recent of which was last Friday in Reno) We’re pleased with the overall outcome, except for some financial issues that are yet to be worked out, but suffice to say we’ve been put in a cash position that makes us none too happy. More to come.

We’re making plans for a big July Flambe Lounge event. Dates under consideration are July 7th and July 21st. Likely location is Pier 35 in San Francisco. We’ll know in a week which day. We’d prefer the 7th (works with the 7 Ages theme on 7/7!), but it’s dependent upon the arrival of a ship the morning after the event. This would force an early morning take-down after a long day/night, so we’re still waiting for word. HEADS UP TO ARTISTS, ART CARS, AND THEMECAMPERS. This is an amazing space. We will have lots of room for art, toys, art cars, and self expression of the varied kind. Fire performance is also allowed. We will probably NOT have a stage, however. If you’d like to help us make this a great re- compression party please email your thoughts and contributing ideas to flambelounge(at)burningman(dot)com.
