I notice that you are facilitating a community arts project at Burning Man?
If you have the time I would appreciate you taking a peek at my page which i put up yesterday!. I sense that we might have a great deal in common.
I only found Trans Cal 24 hours ago - though we have been working on our project for 4 years now.
I contact a lot of people, but only a few grasp what we are attempting.
In light and trust
