Greetings New York!
Your five Regionals -- Cory, Oscar and Abby recently joined by Alex and Dave
(aka Lady Merv, Oman, Abby, Cinemagirl and Not that Dave) -- are excited to
announce their first collaborative community endeavor: The Burner Lab!

Please save the date: Sunday, March 30th from 1pm til 6pm.

What's The Burner Lab, you ask?

Well!

It will be five full hours of opportunities to meet fellow Burning Man
folks, much like our annual Meet & Greet, but this time it's happening
SOONER! And so there will be plenty of time to:

* Represent your theme camp to recruit new members!

* Come in search of a theme camp looking for new members!

* Show off your concepts, designs, sketches, ideas and (American?) dreams
for your 2008 Burning Man art projects! And perhaps find people to help you
realize your dream!

* Look for artists who need help with their projects!

* Share your very special talent: EL Wiring, Glue Gunning, Poi Spinning (no
fire, just tennis balls or bean bags, please!), Sewing, Tiara Making (can
someone fly Stacycats into town? Or "represent"?), Tutu Making, etc.

* Come and learn a new talent!

* Any other fabulous ideas you wonderfully creative people might have!

If you would like to PRESENT (teach a craft, show off your art project
ideas, represent your theme camp), please email me offlist so I can schedule
you, make sure you have space and include you in future announcements!

If you would like to PARTICIPATE, please mark your calendar and stop on by.
Plus stay tuned for future announcements about what will be happening when,
so you can catch what interests you.

This will be an Open House type event, ALL AGES, and nothing will be for
sale. The venue is the Lower East Side Girls' Club on First St. just off of
First Ave. They have graciously offered their space for only the cost of one
staff person to open up for us. We would love for this to be a FREE event
but we are asking everyone to make a donation if you can afford to. Any
money raised beyond the $50 for their staff person will be donated to the
LESGC to help send their girls to New Orleans:

"With your support we will be able to take 25 girls and staff to New Orleans
in April to participate in VDay events, meet local young women, and work
with the YA/YAs-youth artists." http://www.girlsclub.org

This event will also be a Leave No Trace event, so please plan on cleaning
up after yourselves! We hope to have a few surprises for you in addition to
the oodles of creative and social opportunities! And it'll also be the
perfect place to meet ALL FIVE of your friendly Regionals face to face!

Get ready to cook up some magical things at The Burner Lab!

We are very much looking forward to seeing you!
Abby, Cory, Alex, Dave and Oscar
