The Man with the Hat
A Celebration of Larry Harvey’s Life and Legacy
Please join us for what will be a wonderful event, and participate in its creation! Will Chase and Rosalie Barnes, in partnership with Burning Man Project, bring you The Man with the Hat: A Celebration of Larry Harvey’s Life and Legacy (1948–2018), at San Francisco’s Castro Theatre on Saturday, July 14, 2018.
On this special evening, we will celebrate Larry Harvey’s life, legacy and influence, through storytelling, live music and performance, videos, and audience participation. A memorial “art offering” altar will be displayed at the event for people to contribute to, which will ultimately be burned in Black Rock City.
Please join us for what will be a wonderful event, and participate in its creation!
