Cirque De Funk and Incendiary Circus are practicing weekly at Liberty Park (at least weekly) (seems they're practicing all the time)... :)

The Effigent (Elephant Effigy) - Saturday Night's Effigy - is nearing completion (Thanks to Bobby and CREW!) - giant paper mache party at my place, email if you're interested... This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it – still looking for fabric donations…

Center Stage has been painted - SERIOUS THANK YOU to those community members who came out to the Tent Man and helped paint last Saturday and Sunday - lots of white stripes!! (14 bands, 1 play and an audience-participatory fashion show now have a place to play, walk, strut, etc.)

The World’s Largest Disco Ball has reserved a spot in the sun…

Cat in the Hat Effigy is tilting a hello :) (Cheers to Matt et al!)

Chuck's mystery will soon be revealed (Friday Night's Effigy)

Valley Pirates do surely threaten to capture the waves (‘tis air waves we be takin’) (like, totally yarr)

Eclectia's Wall has been sewn together (thanks Oblio) - pieces of this glorious canvass will be set up at Liberty Park this Sunday, May 18th 5pm-dark - come tag it up!!

The Temple of Transformation is emerging from thought to form (yes, it will burn)

Thanks to Bobby, et al (and crew) the Eclectic Effigent (Elephant Effigy) is well under construction… A lot of fabric is needed to cover such a Magnificent Elephant…  Your donations are appreciated!!

Please contact Terra if you have fabric that can be used This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it – donated fabric will be available to the community on the playa – turned into prayer flags – and hung on the Effigy prior to Saturday night’s burn.  Feel free to Create / Make Flags of your own in advance… General donations of fabric strictly for covering are also gladly accepted (synthetic materials will be removed prior to burning).

POLL RESULTS: The theme was  a tie between Playa Elegance and Elephant 11.  All the themes were fun to think of.

THEME PIE SUPRISE!   .....we like the idea of districts/multiple theme camps and this year ALL themes with 2+ votes will be made into "areas" (see grid below).  YOU GET TO CHOOSE WHICH THEME DOES OR DOESN'T INSPIRE YOU!

Once the city is planned, we will publish a map.  All we know for now is that the Quiet Area is South and the Loud Area is North/North East pointed at the freeway.  

SO WHAT IS THE  THEME?   Basically we had to come up with something quick,  Anti M came up with EcLEcTIc 11  and no one voted against it.

? WHY EcELcTIc 11??  It describes the group of people who will make edwardian, bee hive headed alien like, captain Nemo, freaky tiki costumes or art work -  drag it out to the desert and possibly set it on fire.
