Hello Iowa Burning Man Aficionados!
Hope everyone is keeping their toes warm - Nothing like a good ole Iowa winter to appreciate the spring. It is a good time to cozy up with a space heater and do some crafts or work on projects for the regional or big burn!
Speaking of which planning for Interfuse is going full swing. For those just joining or missing the other emails Interfuse is the Midwest Regional Burn located near Boonville, Mo. The land is beautiful and people are amazing. A good way to kickstart the summer. It is happening May 1-4 and details are at www.midwestburners.com/Interfuse. Check out the theme at www.midwestburners.com/events...ophobia , good stuff with tons of room for interpretation and inspiration!
Discussion is underway for a joint theme camp with some other Iowa burners on the Iowa Massive forum, don’t be scared of the ravers…they don’t bite…much. Going to be big this year! Will have the normal music and karaoke but kicking it up a notch to get more art and whatever else we come up with before then, in the beginning planning stages at www.iowa-massive.com/viewtopic.php
This spring will have a meet and greet in March/April somewhere in Des Moines also to be able to get info for Burning Man! More info forthcoming.. I would like to have a stitch n bitch / art day sometime early spring also to start work on costumers for Interfuse/Burning Man. Any suggestions on places in Des Moines to do this or dates you may like to come let me know!
In the Burning Man world: tickets will be going on sale soon, you MUST have tickets prior to going – there will be NONE at the gate this year. Should be quite the change and interesting how it plays out. I sure know it is a lot of people’s American Dream! Here is how the tickets will run down this year (with thanks to Liz C for sending this out!)
Here's the ticket tier run-down:
$210 - only 10,000 - only 2 per person - online sales ONLY (in the past these have sold out fairly quick)
$225 - only 10,000 - only 2 per person - online and mail order (these take a little longer to sell out)
$250 - only 10,000 - online and mail order (these tend to take even longer to sell out)
$295 - while supplies last - online, mail order, and walk-in outlets
NO GATE SALES
More info, including info on purchasing, scholarship tickets, low income tickets, etc.:
tickets.burningman.com/
This weekend if anyone is around town we will be having a birthday party for Alyssa at The Lift (www.dmlift.com/) . Of course , we can’t just have any old normal party this will be themed with an 80s flavor. Goes from 9-2AM this Saturday. If anyone comes let me know!
As always, would love to meet with any other fellow Iowa Burners! Always up for questions and such. I have lots of resources about BM info as I am a bit of an obsessive researcher! Much love to the Iowa Family and beyond. 2008 is going to be AMAZING! Can’t wait and am sure you can’t either!

Re: Iowa Burner Winter Update
Tue, January 15, 2008 - 8:01 AMBurn baby burn! Melt that snow!
Can't wait to see you again brother... might have to make a weekend trip before May. I expect I'll try to host a stitch n' bitch somewhere along the way, but will probably be working harder on effigy and shelter stuff than costumes. I'm ditching the plans for the cardboard dome I've been salivating over the past few seasons. I'm leaning towards the hexayurt now:
hexayurt.com/
I look forward to taking that tiny dirt trail into the forest at IF08, only to emerge smack dab in the middle of Iowa throwing down again!
P.S. we're gearing up for InterRangers again - Chris and I as leads, we'd love to have you on our crew for 08! -
