Burncast

Interview with Avatierre of the Juniper Forest, bringing poetry and visions of lullabies, butterflies, hummingbirds, fairy tales, waterfalls and shooting stars. This episode is a blend of Avatierre's interview with Burncast combined with a CD he had gifted out at Burning Man 2006. He states his whole naked soul lay bare on that CD and that he had only recorded it a few weeks before Burning Man.

This episode of Burncast is intended as a soundscape for friends who were unable to attend this year's Burning Man. It's like a postcard — or rather a podcard — featuring the sounds of the playa on Friday night before the burn. It's simply a bike ride from 7:00 and Esplanade to 3:00 and Esplanade across the playa.

You will hear Megavolt's electric presence, the Neverwas Haul's whistle, blasts from Burninator II and El Diablo thundering in the night. You also will hear the squeak of bicycles and overhear conversations as things begin to literally heat up on the playa that night.

Burning Do-Gooders is an LA-based collective of DJs, promoters, artists, performers, musicians and activists dedicated to putting the creative and constructive spirit of the Burning Man community to work in the so-called "real world." They are affiliated with Burners Without Borders, a group that brings together like-minded Burners to work for positive change in communities that need our help, hope, financial support and elbow grease.

The first project of the Burning Do-Gooders is an event entitled "Good One" to benefit My Friend's Place, a day center for homeless youth in Hollywood that provides meals, job training, health and social services — and classes in juggling and stilt-walking. The event took place on Sunday, July 30th at the Mor Bar (a burner based business) located in Santa Monica, California and features DJs, live entertainment and a silent auction.

Future projects for Burning Do-Gooders may include other fundraiser events, art auctions, beach clean-ups — you name it! In fact, if you have any ideas for future Do-Gooder activities, let them know. Especially if you can help us make it happen.

Today's guests are DJ Poncho Andy, the founder of Burning Do-Gooders and Katie Bone, the Director of Special Events of My Friend's Place.

2006 marks the debut of Gnome Camp at Burning Man with the mission of sending 100 ordinary gnomes on 100 extraordinary adventures.

For details on how to apply for a gnome of your own, visit their website.

This episode takes place at the “No Place Like Gnome Fundraiser” and features interviews from five members of Gnome Camp that includes Phil, Dave (aka Evader), Wikkid (the first real live gnome to be recorded for podcast), Justin and divaDanielle.

This episode of Burncast features artist and researcher, Ivy, as she discusses "Fashioning Community" an art project and fashion exhibit she's developing for Burning Man 2006.

According to her blog, Fashioning Community is: "Inspired by the ideas of 'costume as art' and traditional costume museum exhibits, the idea is to set up a dense 'forest' of mannequin figures, each dressed in an example of a certain aspect of what I have come to find makes up 'Burning Man style.'"

But it doesn't stop there. As part of the overall theme of Dreamtime, the camp with which the project is affiliated, storytelling is key. Each outfit not only has a Burning Man story, but a personal one, and usually one that reflects community. However, as Ivy began to start collecting materials for this project, she found that the figures the mannequins -- also had histories and stories of their own to tell. Read more about these stories on Ivy's blog.

For those playing the 3playa Community Drinking Game at home, it was Ivy's intention to make this episode of Burncast the most inebriating celebration of community to date.
