One week left to fund the Garden of Missed Connections!

The deadline for our Kickstarter is only one week away! We've gotten a lot of support but we're still a good bit short of our $2000 goal. If you like the idea of the Garden, want to give back to the Burning Man community, or simply want to help a group of young artists cover the cost of their materials, please consider heading on over and donating a few dollars to us, or posting the link to our Kickstarter on your Facebook page.

Also: several of our donors have noted that they'd like to write a note in the Book of Missed Connections but won't be on the playa this year. Since this makes us sad, we'd like to announce that donors of any level ($1+) can send us a short (200 word max) note for inclusion in the Book. Simply drop us an email at gardenofmissedconnections@gmail.com and we'll happily include it in this year's book. And if you're really hard on your luck and can't spare a dollar, it's okay: just email us your note. It's only ink and time.

Love,

The Gardeners

Thanks to everyone at Prepare for the Playa!

This past Sunday Paul and Jesse were lucky enough to table a booth at Prepare for the Playa, an SF street festival featuring tons of playa-related goodies ranging from classes at Playa University (how to put out fires, how to connect your electroluminscent wires, etc.) to performances and dance pieces to an absolutely gob-smacking number of amazing vendors. We got to chat about the Garden with a whole number of great folk, both burners and non, and ended the day feeling once again very happy and grateful to be part of such an amazing community. To everyone involved with P4P and everyone we met, we just want to say thanks so much and we really hope to see you out on the open desert!

Love,

The Gardeners
