Thanks to all who came and made it a wonderful new years for me and Kyrsten.
I was glad to have some time to talk to friends and see Dismal’s great fireworks show. There were great bands around every corner and 5 fire trucks!
Keep in touch by joining our fan club for the Golden Mean. Our next shop party is in Mid February, where we will be unveiling our new proposed project for Burning Man.
I saw big kids and small alike shooten for their bird! Man was fresh deep-fried turkey good!
I really want to thank everyone who worked, played, danced, sang, burned, talked, drank, and saw me smile. It was quite the night as these pictures show.
Ahhhh the Porch! it transform the parking lot into another place that was not West Oakland. Here it is with the The Easy Leaves making our feet tap!
Jodi lighting a cigarette to the sounds of JD’s banjo.
I watched and enjoyed EL RADIO FANTASTIQUE, Mykee Ramen and the Boiler Bar performers and was sorry I didn’t have my camera to capture what wonderful things were happening on our very little Boiler Bar stage.
And to top it all off CHP finally made it to the party a few hours after sunrise to take a turn at shooting the fire.
With the holiday spirit upon us it’s time for a good old fashioned turkey shoot and hoedown. Times is hard and we know not all of you can afford a turkey this year, so drop your last dollar on us and hope your aim is as good as you say.
3 birds will go home to the best shots of the night.
Grand Prize, a Free Range Willie Bird Turkey!

Best shot of the night wins this delicious bird! We will deep-fry it on the spot!

Sad to hear fight club at Nimby got canceled! I hear it might happen this coming weekend if they can work out issues with the city. We had a great time at Dorkbot and saw some amazing things done with electricity.
What a wonderful night of entertainment and science. Great to see so many babies, kids and teenagers running down the halls. Reminds me of events I went to as a kid and I hope some of what we’ve made and done rubbed off on them last night. I was asked by several parents to teach a class or have a summer camp of some sort. Young dorkbot. I’m interested and I’ll start thinking how that could work.
what’s next? Pride parade, Zolie Mae’s birthday (my daughter), 4th of July in NV, 200 tons of sand party, sleep and time with my family.
Send me links, and tell me what you liked about the night.
