Shiva Vista "Triple" party THIS Saturday afternoon at the Zephyr!

Shiva invites you to Triple your Fun, Triple your Fire, and Triple your Participation!

In anticipation of our most hippiest, jammiest, foodiest Shiva Vista Project fundraiser thus far, you won't want to miss this exciting and very USEFUL event on April 19th! Not only will we be filling your bellies with yummy BBQ'd foods and snacks, but we will be nourishing your souls and spirits with fun and enlightening workshops for poi and staff spinning, and hula hooping!
AND, inside there will be live bands (including Nick Ramirez and Astronot, Sleepy Sunshine, Buster Blue, and Session) as well as outside live drummers to help create a comfortable and groovy atmosphere for you to enjoy in tribal unity. ALL are welcome into Shiva's warm embrace.

Other reasons we celebrate include:

~Jub Jub Camp with its usual Monkey Business
~ the Canon twins' 30th birthday (yeah! Dirty thirty!)
~ of course, the coming of the unofficial, international 4/20 holiday!
~ and, what we have been so anxious to share...FIRE!!!

Come in your Shiva finest (meaning whatever you are inspired to present for Shiva's honor), you rejuvenated, renewed, ready-to-groove souls! Also, we HIGHly encourage you to reuse your “playa cups” you got at Yuri's night! It IS Earth day, you know!


Workshops for poi, staff, and hula-hoop are available for an extra donation of $10, taught by local dance/fire performers and members of Controlled Burn! AND, as the sun sets, Controlled Burn fire performers will toast up the evening with tribal fire spinning and live local drummers. Bellydancers and tribal musicians are welcome!

Reno HOOPING!

okie dokie, Reno HOOPERS! Whether you HAVE the skills and just want the fresh air, exercise, and to share some fun trix and friends, or if you WANT the skills and are ready to come out from the cover of winter into a HOOPY new spring, I am ready for it! EVERYONE has been asking for it. Let's HOOP!

We decided that Wingfield park down by the Truckee would be a great place to meet. We can convene at the grassy seating area of the stage, meander across Arlington to the point where there is a sunny flat pad with open river view beyond, or we can twirl about and create a little hooping parade if we like! The possibilities are endless, I think!

The thing will be the long-anticipated Reno Whirlaround Hoop workshop!

The date will be Saturday, March 22, 2008.
The place will be at Wingfield Park down by the river.
The time will be 12:30pm-ish until we all fall down dizzy!
The people will be YOU! and your hoop if you have one, and if you have more, bring to share with a new friend!
and remember to drink water!!!

Zsu Zsu's Valentines Day Online Cocktail Party and "Geeft Me" Fundraiser

Join the Zsu Zsu Tribe and invite your friends to support a silly and serious art installation. Together, we'll bring the worst crybaby drama queen ever to Burning Man 2008! Check her out at the project website: www.MutantVehicle.com/zsu_zsu.htm . From a secret link there On Valentine’s Day, Thursday, February 14th at 4:00 PM pacific time, we will hold our booze with one hand and log on with the other for Zsu Zsu’s Valentines Day Online Cocktail Party and “Geeft Me” Fundraiser.

At this event we can get together online all at once and...

* Talk to Zsu Zsu online. Kiss her ass and pay her compliments
* Official release of "The Zsu Zsu Song" with free mp3 download
* Play the Zsu Zsu drinking game
* Meet the crew and get to know the artists
* Support the art installation with a Paypal donation (billed to a credit card)
* Order Zsu Zsu swag with proceeds going to the project

Zsu Zsu says:

"What is all of theez noise and bother about ze stupeed art for Burneeng Man thees year? Some eediots want to throw a party for me? On Valentine's Day? Very well. They will be lucky if I attend, feelthy bare-nares!

Fuck you.

You love me.

-Zsu Zsu"

When you finally meet up with your lover, drunk for Valentine's dinner, they will say "I knew it! You've been with HER, haven't you?!". Please forward this e-mail to your other Burner friends so they too can get in trouble with their significant others.

We’ve applied for a grant from Burning Man for the project. If awarded one, it will only partially cover our materials costs. Oui, it will take lots of Francs and Euros to pull this off—just think of walking toward Zsu Zsu on the playa only to have her spit at you in appreciation. If you want to make a PayPal or credit card donation now, simply go to the project website at www.MutantVehicle.com/zsu_zsu.htm and click the “Donate” button.



If you’re not already a member of Tribe.net, you’ll find a lot of your Burner friends there at other discussion threads and events. We appreciate the ability to use their platform so we can all meet up online for free. Painting above by Killbuck.
