2013 Garden Design

Our 2013 Garden design emphasizes simplicity to achieve an atmosphere of tranquility and aspiration.  We're arranging our lanterns in two vertical towers, with a podium containing the book of missed connections placed in between.  We're hoping that the vertical arrays will offer new possibilities for lighting patterns, including musical equalizers and dynamic bouncing effects.  Both towers will arrive at the desert in two halves, which will be anchored to the ground and then attached to each other.  We hope you'll stop by to see the finished product!

2013 Build Weekend

Thanks to everyone who showed up to make our 2013 build weekend a big success!  We had about a dozen people in Aditi's backyard at one time, which is the most we've ever had for one of these - and good thing too!  At one point, I think we had a few people running to home depot, a team working on each tower, and a team fixing the control box.

Our original plan was to build our two towers in the backyard, then carry them out to the truck next weekend.  Unfortunately, nobody stopped to appreciate just how heavy 18-foot towers could be, and we soon realized that there was no possible way to navigate them up the narrow paths to the front of the house.  After much deliberation, we decided to break them down into a few pieces and reassemble them on site.

Special thanks to those amazing campmates that came to build even though they can't make it to the burn this year: Teri, Eric, and April!  

We're really happy with how the project is turning out, and can't wait to present it in the desert!
