Our initial attempts to cut the metal lath material we’re using for increasing surface area on our evapotron were not pretty — dull tin snips were not the right tool for that job. Thankfully we were able to consult with Gabriel’s brother-in-law Mike, who runs a pre-fabrication shop in San Francisco, and he knew exactly what would be best to cut the material. He also offered to make the cuts, which was a definite blessing.
We were given 2 blown-up sailing spinnakers (from Bodacious+ and Sea Star) to use in our camp at Burning Man. Today we washed them and opened them up. We’re hoping to use them for shade, but since they’re already damaged, we’ll have to see how that works. 🙂
Last night Julian, Grant, Gabriel and Amanda met at the Berkeley CSO to get some good work done on our camp preparations. We worked on our shower structure (aka the “Tower of Shower”) and an evapotron of our own design (to help evaporate used water at the camp). We also got our 30′ dome actually ordered so it should be on its way soon! It was a lot of fun and we’re really looking forward to the next 2 weeks of preparation before we drive out to the playa. As always, we welcome your thoughts, prayers and good intentions!
We’ve been researching options for shelter at Burning Man and want to create an inviting, protected space where we can share Christian Science with other Burners. We decided tonight on a 30′ geodesic dome from Shelter Systems (a local company) which should give us good room for sharing and growing in the next couple of years.

So our camp did not get “placement” this year, so we’ll be finding our right place once we get there. We’re excited about it, and preparations are continuing! Here’s the official 2013 Burning Man map. Where should we try to locate?

In short, have a good mask for keeping dust out of your lungs, good googles for keeping dust out of your eyes, and a covering for the rest of your body.
