He’s involved with Burners Without Borders, an awesome group of Burning Man participants that help out in various communities throughout the year doing public service and creating art (here’s a previous post I did about them). He told me about an interesting project that they are working on, where they have partnered with The National Park Service to create fire rings/pits/structures on Ocean Beach in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco. They are currently looking for help with designing and creating the pits, which will be installed on Earth Day 2007.

They had no right to arrest the guy other than put up a scare technique to scare ppl off. There's no ground to arrest anyone when the securities were there permitting tree burning and then turn around arresting people. This is bullshit.

The cops had 'cordoned off' the main parking area by then with a Crown Vic at each end, but left huge gaps for us to easily park and get down onto the beach. The dogs loved the low key vibe and we wandered from fire to fire chatting with young Dubliners and a wonderful Indian family who had managed to get their non-Xmas fire fuel (looked like very dry particle board) down to the shoreline in a red four wheel drive and who win the 'hottest fire' competition. It burned hot and steady for the half hour we spent in its vicinity, but as I say, we missed the super-conflag. Did it really pin people up against the seawall? Sorry to have missed Danger Ranger but I wish him a Happy New Year anyway. Love to all and all for one. Howeird.

I have some photos but they are grainy and a bit unsharp.
