Hi everybody!
Back from the desert. Once again, WI had a good presence there:
A commissioned art piece in the Man Grove. One of about only 50 pieces, out of thousands, that got an art grant from the BM Org.
A Theme camp, now in it's tenth year, that ran Playa Speed Dating on four consecutive nights, including the Critically Single mass bicycle Speed Dating. Hundreds had their chance to hook up.
An Esplanade Theme Village, one of the oldest ones out there, that we coordinate in cooperation with our colleagues from Detroit and Toronto.
A Wisconsin Fire Troupe, performing as part of Temple of Poi, SF, span fire in the Fire Conclave before the Man Burned.
A Wisconsin independent television show was granted Press Status for the ninth year in a row....scenes and interviews from Burning Man will appear on Milwaukee cable TV starting in October.
We are not a very big Regional in the grand scheme of things, but we still make a difference. You should all be proud.
Our Fall WI Decompression will be Saturday, September 22, at the BurningSNOW Center, 2578 N. Weil Street, Milwaukee. This is typically the biggest event of our Burner year. Art pieces from this and previous years will fill the place. Bring your craziest Playa outfits for our fashion Show. Mini Theme-camps, live music and performance, an effigy Burn, a tiny desert created within a city. Far-travelers can write us for crashout space (bring pad and blanket). We are setting up the ticketing now. Stay tuned.

Ok folks, the WI AfterBurn event is all set up for ticketing at www.clevian.com/decomp.htm !
We switched to Paypal to collect the measly donation we ask to pull off this event... even if you can't come, you can wire us five bucks to help out, and be with us in spirit!
This is an event YOU make, we just set up the beautiful space and cover the insurance, so bring your costumes and treats and Playa art! We will have room for a few mini-theme camps, we even have a couple little booths, about lemonade-stand size, if you need something like that to use.
We will have live music and several rooms of Playa art, including the Honorarium art pieces Voices in My Head (2005) and Corn Woman (2007). And of course, the Man...
If you are coming from far away, we have a limited number of crashout spaces--- bring pad and blanket-- so at least you won't have to drive all the way home that night. Write to us.
Get your tickets now, we only have 65 to offer!
See you there. :)
