Burning Man 2007 is just around the corner, so for this August Dorkbot
meeting, we will focus on the art of Burning Man!  First we will hear from
Kay Morrison, President of Ignition Northwest (http://ignitionnw.org), the
regional burner-based arts and community group in the Northwest.  Then you
will see several Burning Man projects that will particularly appeal to geek
and artist in you!


   - Simon Winder will talk about the dog dish art car, a wonder of
   microcontrolled steering.
   - Josh Lind will talk about his art car project for this year, the
   radioator.  The Radioator is a mobile radio/audio broadcast cart, with
   giant headphones, for silent parties.  (http://www.dbltht.com/)
   - Mars Saxman will show us how to make laser fingers.  Lasers!
   - Buphalo will show us how to incorporate fire into art, which he has
   done for the Fire Pod (which appeared at Burning Man, Bumpershoot, and
   Coachella) in previous years and for the hammerstrike for this year!

   - Pope Phabulous will explain how to use Electroluminescent Wire (EL
   wire) in art and costumes!

Doors will be open at 7:00 if you want to show up early, drink a beer, and
chat.

If you want to talk about your latest creation or announce an upcoming event
during our "open dork" session, let me know!  If you'd like to speak or
perform at, or curate, a future Dorkbot, talk to me or email me at
shellyhivemind at gmail.com.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the 1st!  Special thanks as ever go to
911 Media Arts Center, our fabulous hosts.
