Hi everyone,

This is Aaron Ximm from 964 Natoma. Apologies for the questionable use
of this mailing list; I am trusting to your patience and the belief
that there is a significant overlap between attendees of Field Effects
shows and Burning Man sympathizers. (But as always, I'm happy to remove
you from the list.)

I'm writing today as I need helpers for an installation my brother Barnaby
and I are doing at Burning Man this year. (Of the six volunteers we
thought we might get, it turns out not one is actually making it.  So
we're suddenly short-staffed and nervous!)

Details of the art project itself can be found here:

Basically, it's a three-dimensional constellation of oil lanterns
(familiar to 964 event attendees...) arranged to create a multi-colored
prayer wheel with a mantra hidden in it along lines of sight.

We're looking for install-assistance early in the week (probably Monday,
Tuesday, maybe Wednesday); and small teams of 'lamplighters' every dusk
(for about an hour) to light the lamps.

If you're playa-bound and might be interested in helping in our project,
please write me for more information!

And, please forward to anyone who might be interested/willing! :)

 B  e st,
  and thanks for your patience,
   aaron
