The Serpents are growing and taking shape everyday. Lots of wonderful friends and new faces showed up to help Sunday and lots got done. Still needing skilled volunteers. Contact me if you have skills in metal fabrication, general fabrication, LED knowledge, soldering, Flash animation of LEDs. car stereo installation, sewing. For people with no workshop skills – be a gopher for hardware or food runs, help us organize and mail out rewards from our sure-to-be-successful kickstarter so we can keep moving forward… I’m sure I can think of more!
The kickstarter fundraiser is going well but we still need more than $4000 to get our funding! Please tell your friends, spam the world, pitch in a $25. Less than a week left and if we don’t fully fund we lose the $6000 we have already raised!

The build of the Serpent Twins is in full production now. Nice to see the shop so busy and the pile of unfinished work giving way to the finished one. This is going to be a really cool project and I’m excited about performing with our new 50 ft long 24 volt puppets!
To fund our new Burning Man project this year we started a kickstarter and we are offering some nice rewards for helping us. These items are handmade by Jon Sarriugarte in his shop Form & Reform. The Cattail Candle Holder and Modular Side table are signed. We are offering these to you for less than retail and you get to help a wonderful project and enjoy Jon’s art in your home too! I can ship the Table and Cattail to your home anywhere USA!
A night out in the east-bay with your friends in the Golden Mean. Even better? A night at Burning Man in the snail with shade chilled champagne! Travel in style to see the art, music and people of Burning Man in the comfort of the Golden Mean.

It stopped raining long enough for me to test out the trailers. They work great, tracks, turns tight and looks like a 50′ serpent! Very happy overall.

Things are moving along well now and the real work has begun. Hino is working everyday on the head, Kyrsten and I have been prototyping the metal body segments with scales.
Richard and Christine have been helping with blacksmithing and drilling hole. At 3000 hole Christine is now the hole queen!
Kyrsten drawing the scales for the 4th time.
Light test. The shadows are an amazing bonus that we will work more on today to maximize the playa palette.
