I know that some of you Bend fire folks are coming into Boise on Friday for the Boise Fire Arts show. We're hosting a great party that we hope you'll come by for after!

Friday, April 18th (one week from this one!), we're hosting a fund raiser for a Burning Man art project! DJs include Nappy Jeff (he's a virgin, be gentle), Kel Thomas, stEvil, and DJ Stormshadow! $5 to get you into the Bucket, show starts at 8.

This is a fundraiser for a memorial that will be built at Burning Man this year. A field of skis, over 100 feet long by 30 feet wide rises from the dusty playa. A path down the middle leads you to two benches, and a lone set of skis, a helmet, and boots. Brad Peterson was my friend, Judis' lover, and a great man. He died doing what he loved, skiing the trees, this winter. He was solo at the time, but not alone. We're bringing his skis, and at least another hundred pair, to remind ourselves, and Brad, that we wasn't really alone.

Please come out and support this project, hear great music, and dance with your friends. We need rebar (anybody got some waste, 18 to 24 inches) and hardware.

I've already got almost 100 pairs of skis, although we'll take yours too!
