Sat July 26th downtown Kansas City "Magnolia" A Cicada rhythm event

johngallup — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:52:05 GMT

whats up everyone,we don't do crazy summer events in Lawrence but were going to blow it out in a couple weeks in Kansas City. that's right Cicada Rhythm back in KC. this event will be a full blown underground all ages event ,BYOB going all night with some wicked burner talent, So i hope you all come out and make DJ Smoove feel right at home.

SMOOVE
[San Francisco - NewsBreakz]
Formerly of Space Cowboys Smoove has been crushing the west coast breaks and burner scene for many years.
He has also been voted to the prestigious Nitevibe DJ Dream team top 10 of SF four years in a row.
Known around the world as your girlfriends favorite DJ, Smoove will take you on a ride exploring the dirty
side of burner breaks. Bring your dust mask and goggles!

Sol.ID
[NC; Sudden Def, Fokuz, Rubix Recordings, Future Thinking, Basswerk Recordings]
Sol.ID is a classically trained saxophonist and percussionist, and has a great appreciation for many different styles of music. Gaining much praise from a project entitled "Autumn" (with production partner Lost Prophet), he stormed onto the scene, raking up a number of releases on Fokuz (and Fokuz LTD), including beauties like "It's Always About The Girl", "Yesterday" (a collaboration with ICR that was featured on the "Discoveries Of The Deep" LP in 2006), and "Redemption".

There's a quality that's best described as "deep" in each of their selections: while the funk and the hypnotic bass is always intact, the varying sounds throughout the tunes are what draws listeners in, whether it be a seductive bassline ("Refuge") to long-lost female vocals ("Dilated Times"), the emotion is there, etched forever within the vinyl. Now while Autumn's actual back catalogue might be smaller in comparison to many others, the accolades are vast, and have given way to tunes being snapped up left and right. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, though. Sol.ID is already working on scores of tunes, with collaborators like Kubiks & Lomax, Amaning, Mixmaster Doc, Stunna, Zyon Base, Saburuko, Theory, Pentagon & Ethix, Cybass and Sinistarr.

The other side to Sol.ID, the side gaining much recognition as of late, would be his status as an up and coming DJ. He’s already been featured on Random Movement Radio, as well as GFM UK’s “The Liquid Soul Show”, along with recording the December 2007 podcast for Rubik Records. His recent European tour went over nicely with thousands witnessing his unique funky style. When you check a Sol.ID set, be prepared: not only will the dubs be flying by fast and furious, but you will be privy to a true Soulful treatment, from one of the leading US producers of that real Soul vibe.

Being part of the new breed of US DnB producers might seem like a daunting task, but conversing with Sol.ID, he makes it sound easy. With an easygoing demeanor and an ear for what’s right both within the production and within the mix, there’s no telling how far he can truly go. Sky’s truly the limit; just make sure you keep an ear out to how far up this shooting star is destined to travel.

The EZ Brothers
[Kansas City - Lotus Camp, Bassism, Dubfront, Resonate]
Making their hometown debut, the EZ Brothers (NME, FSTZ & JFortune) will be fresh off a mini tour weekend
with 12th Planet. It is Lotus Camp, revealed, and on 6 turntables. Expect the most upfront Dubstep selection
the region has to offer. Prepare to GET BUCK.

Shenanigans
[KC, Wichita - DeepFriedGold]
As part of the House music label, Deep Fried Gold, JonJon & Mr. Nuro have been doing great things, including release tunes and hosting one of the most succesful weeklies in KC's recent memory. Don't be afraid of these jokers, they're only here to have fun.

B-b0y
[San Francisco / Wichita; Nieghborhood Productions, Playground Legendz SF, nprod.us]
B-b0y's founder of Neighborhood Productions, one of the hottest up and coming Breakbeat production outfits
in the Midwest. He's been leaving major footprints within the breakbeat realm, droppin' the filthiest Breaks
and grimiest Glitch known to man. On the decks... he's gauraneed to take you on a journey into the depths of bass.
http://www.myspace.com/bb0y

Sytrohs [TX/KC - Riggz Recordings, Dedication Crew, Lotus Camp]
This gent has been playing tunes all over the region for a minute and has called many places home. His new home is KC and he has a very special Drum N Bass set in store for the K.runk C.ity to break the ice!
Always420 [Topeka - Lotus Camp, Capitol Beats]
If you've been to a show in the last few years, you've seen Mike T and proabably heard him to. For Magnolia he's getting the vibe started with a set of freshy Dubstep.
ArrhythmiA [KC; Disrder-ley Conduct, leetradio.com] Justin, Arrhythmia has been grinding in the KC DnB scene for a minute now...remember the cup?! He's helped out with
more events than it appears, and this will be his Debut on a Lotus Camp stage!
Jeffrey B [KC -u:move, JustJeff]
Jeff is rising fast, and has regular gigs at establishments like NV and Madrigall, opening for the likes of DeadMau5 with more to come.

STAN-dEC [Nashville / Wichita - Lotus Camp]
Juan is the only 4x4 beat member of Lotus Camp. He's a DnB head, but his musical expression is Techno. He is going to present KC with mixed set of Detoit and Swedish Techno...prepare to get pounded.

Tribal Vision [Lawrence]
You've been to their parties, and heard them play soloa, but for Magnolia, Tribal Vision unites.

Riki Bidness [KC - House]
Riki is the only Dj in the city whom can Skate, Dj and play kickball at the same time! He's played all over town, and Magnolia is his next stop!
V.J. Ones [KC - Visuals]
4 screens. 'Nuff said.

Recycled Rainbow Seeks Freaks, Geeks, Human Stars & Art Cars!

Mediaeval Baebe — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 18:35:48 GMT

(This message is posted on a few different tribes: Don't worry, you're not going crazy...or are you?)

Pyrophonicville (RR) -- Recycled Rainbow 2008 is looking like it will be bigger and badder than ever. Head gatekeeper and queen Mediaeval Baebe reports that there are many new ideas for 2008, and many new faces.

"We found some fantabulous land this year!" she said excitedly, jumping up and down and spilling her absinthe. "One of the gorgeous freak things has been working on an art car for a few months now, and there will be a burlesque performance Friday night. I hear they're seeking performers for it."

When asked about the term "gorgeous freak things", Mediaeval Baebe pointed to a group photo of people otherwise known as "burners", or "those lame ass drug addicted dirty hippies" according to Fox News.

"There are loads of ideas and shenanigans being planned for RR this year. I don't even know WHERE to begin." MB reported. "We invite YOU to bring YOUR thing. Here's the stage, now you have the freedom to show your stuff."

Recycled Rainbow will be held Thursday, September 25th - Sunday the 28th. Tickets are on sale now. To purchase tickets (and get more information), visit the website @ http://www.recycledrainbow.org

ride share post BM

Sweet — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 17:47:53 GMT

I am hoping to find a ride to Missouri from BurningMan following the event. If you have room for 1 person and small amount of stuff, I have gas money and can help drive. I can be flexable about departure date.

Orphan Burn Announcement

Mooncrest — Mon, 19 May 2008 18:38:49 GMT

Hey gang, just wanted to let everyone know about an orphan burn happening for those of us that can't go to Burning Man this year. It's called Orphanarium. It will be held August 22-24 at beautiful Ozark Avalon. It's only $10 for the weekend. We have an effigy in the works, a fire lead in place so fire performance is more than welcome, and lots of plans for a great time. Hopefully everyone that isn't going to Burning Man can make it. We also have a tribe if you're interested in joining at http://tribes.tribe.net/mwb_orphanarium . The burn is not MWB sanctioned, but I couldnt' get the name to go without something in front. Can't wait to see you all again!!

Where is our dildo?

kroniq — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 04:52:04 GMT

Seriously.

One of our double ended dildos was misplaced (I could say "stolen", but I wouldn't do that... I know you were drunk) and we need it back. Those aren't cheap dildos, seriously, and they have huge sentimental value. You shove anything that large up someone's ass and it will have sentimental value to you, too.

Anyways. Radio KRZY needs it back. We've sold the station off to a subsidiary of the corporate conglomerate Radio Elektra of burning man and they're auditing our records. The last time it was seen one of our community's own jack off mag porn stars was running around flailing it about. We can't afford the publicity of putting it on milk cartons - we just can't shame the Radio KRZY family like that. So, we beseech you... Please return it.

Thank you. That is all.

Parkersberg Iowa has been leveled

Weldboy — Tue, 27 May 2008 18:06:57 GMT

If anyone is thinking about going over to Parkersberg don't forget to let the BWB folks know about it. They will post your efforts on their website and possibly collect some funds. From the news pictures it looks like they could use some folks with heavy equipment skills. Maybe some of the Iowa camp can show up and throw the newly homeless a rave.

It's not 100% at this very second, but it looks like ¡Bob might have a ticket for me to go to Flipside near Austin this year. I was wondering if anyone from STL, KC, Lawrence, etc... was headed south and could use another merry traveller to chip in on gas or whatnot. So far I was planning on going it alone, but it would be much safer, cooler, yay exciting if I didn't have to!!

let me know if you are interested! :D

Scorched Nuts updates

PoosieKat — Mon, 12 May 2008 21:09:06 GMT

Howdy folks! I'm bringing you news of ways to help out Scorched Nuts by camping with friends and tickets changes and updates.

)*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*(

SN Volunteer Work Weekend
May 31-June 1
Hannon's Camp America

As we quickly approach the second year for Scorched Nuts (http://scorchednuts.org) we wanted to let you know of a way to benefit the community, the event, and the camping venue. Burners from IN, KY, and OH will be gathering at Hannon's Camp America (the venue for Scorched Nuts) from May 31st to June 1. We'll be camping out (free tent camping, $10 bunk rental if that's your thing), painting signs, digging post holes, building bridges, and ladders into tree houses. This work is mutually beneficial to the community and Hannon's. Come help us foster more community growth and give back. And as always is the case when Burners gather to work, we'll have an amazingly good time.

)*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*(

SN Ticket Changes and Updates

Hey folks, we've been looking over our ticket sales deadlines and have decided to make a couple of quick, and beneficial to the procrastinator, revisions. First, the deadline for mail-in orders has been pushed back to May 31st for the postmarked date. If it's postmarked after that you're check or money order will be sent back in the mail and you'll have to purchase your ticket on-line or with a vendor. Secondly, tickets will be on sale on-line and will vendors until June 12th. After that time you can purchase your tickets at the gate. Also, you have until midnight tonight to purchase a ticket for the $30 price, after that until June 12th tickets will be $40. We've also lowered the gate price to $50. All deadlines, unless otherwise noted, are until 11:59pm of the date listed. Also please note that there has been a gate policy change, there will be NO in-and-out passes this year. Be prepared to come and stay. You will not be permitted to leave and come back once you exit the gates. Thank you.

To summerize:

Mail-in postmark Deadline: May 31st for $40 tickets
On-line/Vendor Deadline: June 12th for $40 tickets
$30 Ticket Deadline (on-line only): May 12th
$40 Ticket Deadline: June 12th
$50 Gate Ticket Sales: June 19th during gate hours - June 21st at 5pm
No leaving once you've arrived.

)*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*(

Thank you all for your help and your patience. We hope to see you out at Scorched Nuts, or any of the upcoming events, gatherings, work weekend, etc that we have going on through out the year.

As always, be safe, be happy, and have fun.

looking for someone i met at Interfuse

Pandemic — Wed, 07 May 2008 01:00:07 GMT

this weekend I met a short haired blonde girl with glasses who liked to say goobly goo from houston, she had asked me to move to houston, i gave her a business card but i can't remember her name or the guy she was walking around with. then we wandered around and chatted and sat in her black 4 door car for a little bit. then she handed me her phone so i could talk to her friend on the speaker phone, I was too dazed and tired from the long weekend to reply how I wanted to. so i'm not sure where else to look, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Texas burners seeking ride to IF from airport

distract-sean — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 20:17:43 GMT

Howdy fellow fire fiends!! DFW Burner here. My partner in crime, Button, and I are so extremely excited to be headed to your area to attend IF. It was looking like we were going to have to miss it this year because of a combination of work (eek!) obligations and the drive time. It didn't take us much time to say "screw that"!! So then we dug around and found some dirt cheap airfares from Dallas to KC. Problem solved, right? Well- we have one big obsticle to overcome---We have no ride from the airport to the event.

Is there anyone leaving KC on friday evening??? We have some midwest burner buds up there but they are all going to be there early to help set up the event. Please someone help!!! We guarantee to help with travel expenses... JUST SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!

Interfuse Questions from a Virgin

majortom — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 05:42:24 GMT

Greetings, Midwest Burners!! Some of the following questions are probably answered somewhere in this Tribe or on the site, but my explorations thus far have yet to turn them up, I missed them somehow, or I just thought of them in the middle of writing this email. In any case, I apologize for the annoyance, but I'm curious and excited!!

1) Is there a swimming area at Interfuse? If so, please describe!
2) Is there anything a first-time Interfuser should know? I'm an experienced Burner.
3) What's the anticipated turn-out this year (I assume this is something like .90 x Y, with Y being # of tickets sold?)
4) Is there a sweat lodge, and if so, will it be active and in use during the event?
5) What weather should I expect? I'll be prepared for anything, but I've heard that it's typically humid during Interfuse and there'll be temps of 60/40 and a 20-50% chance of rain most days this year.
6) What % of participants wear costumes, and how much glowy bling is worn at night?
7) What's the insect life like there? I'll be prepared for anything being a Texan, just interested...
8) Are there camps that do a community kitchen thing? Our Texas group will be self-sufficient, but it's fun sharing meals and I'd be up for donating some bacon or burgers or such to the community.
9) What are your favorite activities at Interfuse? Or what were they last year?
10) Anything else you want to tell me? LOL

Again, sorry to bother you with questions that I might have been able to find answers to elsewhere, and apologies for the late date in asking these questions. I've been so busy planning for Flipside and the Playa that I just now got around to getting crazy excited about Interfuse!! Woot!!!!!

Appreciatively, Interfusingly, and Seeya-in-a-few-daysingly,
Major Tom

RenewMissouri

mello — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 02:02:58 GMT

Would anyone want to help gather signatures before, and even during, Interfuse? A friend of mine is managing a project to put an initiative on the Missouri ballot this November:

It will require that Missouri get 15% of its electricity from clean sources, like solar and wind, by the year 2020. It's called a "Renewable Electricity Standard". 25 other states already have this policy, but Missouri sure doesn't, and the long and short of it is, that's why not much is happening in the way of renewable energy in Missouri.

After it passes, it will create the market for 4100MW of wind power (~2,000 gigantic wind turbines) and 200MW of solar

We have until May 4th to finish collecting 150,000 signatures from registered Missouri voters. Today we're at ~95,000 signatures collected, and we're at $340,000 of the necessary $500,000 fundraised to put this puppy on the ballot.

Can you chip in $50-$500 to help us get over the finish line? The money will go to support Renew Missouri, the nonprofit which I'm now the Executive Director of, in its effort to get this RES on the ballot.

Our polling shows that 2/3 of Missourians will vote "yes" for this, given the opportunity, so we're all about giving the opportunity.

Ready? Go to www.RenewMO.org, and click on "contribute".

30,000 signatures are coming from volunteers, and 120,000 are coming from paid ($10/hr) signature gatherers, and you can track the volunteer progress on http://volunteer.renewmo.org.

Thanks for your help today!

Effigy / Stage Performances

PoosieKat — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:30:35 GMT

Hey there excited InterFuse-lovin' people! As you know, this years effigy is a large TV-stage for performances. We have everything from an opening ceremony (Thurs at 6pm) to movies & documentaries to educational talks to poetry readings....and SO much more! The schedule is up on the website ( http://www.midwestburners.com/interfuse/eventsandperformers.html ) so check it out!

Even with all the scheduled programs there are still a few open slots just waiting for YOU, wonderful, beautiful participant, to....you guessed it....pARTicipate! Be it being a part of the poetry jam, talk show, fashion show, or creating your own programming.

For all you theme camps out there, perhaps a 'commercial' on the stage is JUST the thing for you. Just come to the stage, find the stage manager (Poosie Kat, JeffZ, Trish, and Laura) and there you go! Also, PSA's sound like a fun way to participate and share with the community at large. If you're a performer without a place to perform, this is your venue darlin', come out and share yourself with us! Fun for the performers and the viewers.

Be sure to come out to watch and/or add your talents to the list. There are still calls out for folks to participate in the Opening Ceremonies, Poetry Jam, Talk Show, Fashion Show, Bribe-per-View, and open time slots....so be sure to make your way over and join in the fun and excitement!

Stop by any of these times:

Thursday 6PM-Friday 5AM
Friday Noon-Saturday 6AM
Saturday Noon-4PM

The rest of the time the TV will be an open stage but without lights, sound, and video.

The schedule will also come in the form of a TV Guide with the Gate Handout at InterFuse.

ALSO, we desperately need night owl Stage Managers from 2AM-5AM Friday morning and 12:45AM-5AM Saturday morning! That's a 3 hour and a 4 hour 15 minute period! I KNOW there are two of you out there who can help out for 3-4 hours! These shifts are during Bribe-Per-View, so you'll be getting bribed to play movies. No live performance coordinating is needed! It will be very EASY and FUN!! Plus, Trish will give you bacon!

If you're interested, please contact Zay@midwestburners.com

Search for land (can you help?)

Mediaeval Baebe — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:06:30 GMT

Hello everyone! Mediaeval Baebe here. I'm with Recycled Rainbow, a burn event in northern Ohio. We are in a bit of a puddle here, and if you could help us at all, it would be wonderful! :) We're searching for land, as we cannot use the same place we had last year. If you know of a possible location, please contact info(at)recycledrainbow(dot)org, reply to this, send me a message, whatever. :) Thank you!

I will post a message from everyman (one of my fellow organizers), as he sums it up well.

Fire and Light,
~Mediaeval Baebe~
starlie(at)emeraldfrequency(dot)com

************************************

This is everyman, one of the folks responsible for the Recycled Rainbow
event which took place in NE Ohio last year.

We have also sold 30 ticket reservations to this year's event scheduled to
take place in late September, which is unprecedented momentum. One minor
problem: *** we don't have a place to put it! ***

We are desperately looking for land within a 2.5 hour drive of
Cleveland, OH (which extends into Pennsylvania, and we're okay with that.)

What is Recycled Rainbow? Since 2002, people from Northeast Ohio and
beyond have gathered in a private residence twice a year and still there
is no strong definition of what Recycled Rainbow is. It is a community of
friends and strangers. Last year, Recycled Rainbow moved to the outdoors
changing everything and yet changing very little. It is a four-day
festival in a large outdoor space. It is a modern experimental salon. It
is a "no spectator" event. It is a festival where anything goes. It is a
local experiment in community and expression. It is a place to try out
that new idea you have for a sculpture or performance. It is difficult to
describe.

It is, in few words, what you turn it into. You have the reigns as much as
anyone else does. Does it have a drive-in theater? If you build a drive in
theater, it will. Does it have a stage for experimental performance art?
It does if you build one. Does it have clowns? Do you know a mob of clowns
and can you bring them?. Recycled Rainbow challenges you to do what you've
wanted to do within a set of 10 guidelines. One of those guidelines is
Participation. Like Burning Man, RR has a different theme each year ...
this year the theme is "Mutation."

http://www.recycledrainbow.org

Specifics we need in terms of land:

Event is scheduled to take place September 25 - 28th, Thursday - Sunday
150 people are expected to attend.

* Needs to be Outdoors
* 30-40 acres would work
* No facilities are required (it's fine if they are present but we are
self-sufficient, will rent porta-johns, provide our own power, etc.)
* we'd prefer a wide open space secluded from the road
* if the land is very remote, we would find that ideal
* Noise & music should be permissible after midnight
* There may be art cars (go-carts, scooters) present
* We could potentially have events going all day and night around the clock
* Ideal if there is a source for ice and firewood nearby
* We would like to have camp fires
* We would like to be able to burn an art structure (or several)
* We will Leave No Trace
* We will financially compensate
* We will have at least one paramedic present during this event
* We are self-policing but willing to meet with neighbors, city
authorities, permanent camping residents to discuss & inform well in
advanced of the event
* Prefer a location in NE Ohio, but willing to go as far as Columbus or
halfway to Pittsburgh, PA

We are open to any and all options.

Furthermore, please actively help us search! We *NEED* our Burning Man
community's assistance in this regard and would greatly appreciate any
tips or advice on where to look, who to ask, where to advertise, and how

IF tickets! we need one for Scott

trish_w — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 02:12:45 GMT

http://people.tribe.net/3ba29d38-ee7c-4b19-ad30-48aa1e06b710

If you are looking for gifting that extra ticket to the coolest, funniest, most hardworking volunteer ever- look No further than our brother Scott!

He just said he's coming to Interfuse and even asked to spin fire in the procession and now realizes that tickets are not sold at the gate. (he's not an internet kinda guy... but he can carve a mean block of wood... and much more!)

PLEASE help get Scott to Interfuse. He's all the way in San Deigo and we will all be sorry if he's not there i just know it. :)

let me know via message. not too internet-y myself lately.

1 luv, t.

A Call to Arms - Join The Fucking Leisure Army for IF2008

kroniq — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 05:11:32 GMT

InterFuse 2008 is fast approaching and there are all kinds of ways for you to help make it happen. Every year our community grows, and with it the infrastructure and number of volunteers required to make the event a reality grows.

This year, most definitely, will be the largest event in our community's history.

If you're one of those people that's always doing it yourself, making it happen, getting it started, and keeping it going, The Leisure Army WANTS YOU.

We're the grunts of the community. We move just about every piece of property on the land from one end to another, and do just about every odd job a bunch of dirty fucks could ever be expected to do. And we usually do this in the rain... We throw down all day in the spirit of brotherhood. Moving shit. Building shit. Taking shits. Drinking shit.

You take a heaping spoonful of cynicism ("Yeah uh... That shit isn't going to work. Are you fucking retarded?"), add 8 teaspoons of sarcasm ("I bet if those glowsticks were in your ass you'd know where to find them"), sprinkle on a few death threats ("I'm going to kill you, seriously." or "Why don't you go drown in the lake" followed by "I'd do anything to get away from you."), and work your ass off... And you've got us. TLA.

If you're down to give the community your blood and sweat and don't mind the fulfilling combination of calluses and hangovers, then you're TLA material. Volunteer at http://www.midwestburners.com/interfuse/volunteer.html.

Chase
TLA Lead and Community Drunkard

Vesuvius Tribes Fundraiser Tonight at The STudio/ Dowtown KCMO

Just want an excuse to hang out and party with cool, positive people?? Then read on.....

We are very excited about our new website which will offer a single place for everyone to learn more about our Tribe, our shows, our equipment, and provide a forum for booking requests. You will find it at www.vesuviustribe.com within the next month!! As part of the website development we created a Mission Statement and an introduction of who we are. We think it summarizes us very well and hope you'll agree!!

Mission Statement

About Us

We are rooted in the community and believe fun, imagination and creativity lead to the path of self evolution. Let our eruptive personalities and positive vibes open your mind to the things you never thought possible. We offer you a small glimpse into our world for we are the gypsies that hide within us all…

And now for the fun part....our fundraiser!! Please join us on Friday, March 28th from 7-10pm as we officially ring in the new season, help us celebrate the launch of our new website, and support our tribe in the process!! Attached is the flyer with all the details....

InterFuse 2008 - PARTICIPATE

kroniq — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 20:12:09 GMT

Over the past 5 years together, we've grown as a community and have
experienced wonderful things together. This year will be no different.
IF07 brought together over 600 freaks from around the world - we came
together in the laboratory of social experimentation and are all the
better for it. This year, we'll be growing at a rate that demands
additional support from the community.

We're at a point where all of us are preparing for this adventure. I
know that a lot of you are asking yourselves how you can make IF08 a
more enjoyable and fulfilling experience than years previous (wow - is
that possible? Yes, yes I say!). The answer is simple - PARTICIPATE.
Sometimes it's that little extra effort that makes all the difference
between mediocrity and excellence. Consider this - At 211 degrees
Fahrenheit, water is hot - fucking hot even. At 212 degrees Fahrenheit,
water boils. In everything that you do, go the extra degree.

Opportunities for participation abound. In our community, we've got the
mainstays of radical self expression, irrational (and rational even!)
exuberance, and general fuck shit upedness. In addition, our community
provides the opportunity to participate in ways that the default world
may not. The sense of ownership of process that may not be instilled in
our daily existences is alive and well in our laboratory - We are able
to seek out and explore unmediated experiences by virtue of the fact
that we are all able, and called upon, to participate. This is not work.
This is an *opportunity* for you to create your own experience - This is
an *opportunity* for you to create your InterFuse.

This year, we'll be growing at a rate that can only be described as
FUCKING AMAZING. We'll be able to bring into our experience numerous
individuals that will contribute to the process. As always, we'll need
an amount of support from all of us that is proportional to our growth.
Would you like to meet new and amazing individuals and invite them into
our experiment? Gate greeter wanted - apply within. Have you ever wanted
to take a car that seemed out of place and just art deco it the fuck
out? You're in luck - Parking Wranglers needed. Are you a big fan of
lifting heavy objects (12 ounce curls) and sweating for all those freaks
that you love? The Leisure Army wants you. Do you shed a tear when you
see a cigarette butt carelessly discarded - The Leave No Trace team is
calling. This is, most definitely, an abridged version of the
opportunities that are available to all of us.

Don't just think about the possibilities of your experience, create
them. Visit http://www.midwestburners.com/interfuse/volunteer.html and
volunteer today.

I'll see you there ;).

Myself and my girlfriend are considering coming out to Missouri to muck out some houses. Does anyone have any personal needs in their area or have any suggestions on where we would be needed most. I'm in contact with BWB to see if anyone is spearheading this mess. I would love to organize some work crews of burners to help show Missouri how good we are at fucking shit up. Austin (my girl) is a vet of Katrina clean up and we both where over in Fernley, NV when that levee broke. Please let me know whats up. I am going off what I see in the news and it looks pretty bad
