Burnal Equinox marks the mid-point between last year’s burn and this year’s. It's our first major event of the year and you can expect a wide and stunning array of art, live performance, dancing, philosophizing, theme camp indescribeables and so much MORE! You are encouraged to shape the night by sharing art and experiences from previous Burning Man events and your plans for 2011.
In keeping with this year's Burning Man theme, "Rites of Passage", you are also invited to express transformational moments in your real and imagined journey through life. Remember those defining experiences that helped you come into your own? Perhaps your first kiss, getting married/divorced, an alien abduction, your very first white out, a birth, or a near death experience that changed the way you live...maybe an imagined ritual from a distant land. You are invited to explore the theme through dress, stories, pictures, drawings, pantomime or other forms of creative expression. Join others in re-living or creating entirely new and curious rites of passage. These may be as varied as life itself and range from ludicrous to solemn.
So, whether you are remembering a previous year’s burn, dressing for your prom, creating a sacred procession of unicorns and golden earmuffs, or you skip all the fuss and come as you are...we hope to celebrate what has made YOU who you are...and want to be!

AEZ, Airpusher, Anodyne Industries, Aurelie Clivaz, BMIR, B TRU (SF Nights), Carpe-syzygy-bus - featuring performers from Carpetbag Brigade, Celestine Star, D!sco Mike (Almost Realism Media), ELiKi (Frisco Fidget), Syzygy Butoh and Bad Unkl Sista, Danielle Swan, VJ Flood, The Fossettes, Hobo Gobbelins, HystErica, House of Inanna, i can dress myself, Kathy D'Onofrio (Alien Interpretation), Kenneth Griswa (Phoenix Eggs), DJ Laird, LL Featherpistol, Margaret DeCuir (Labyrinth of Life), DJ Mo Corleone, Neon Bunny, NoMe, O.N.Y.D.

SPUR Association Evening Forum-
"Building a City of Their Own: Burning Man and the Art of Urbanism"
Tuesday, March 8, 2011, 6:00 pm
Join SPUR's Young Urbanists for this evening forum.
For one week each year, Black Rock City becomes one of the world's great cities, influencing the worlds of music and art and feeding the cultures of other cities around the world. Bay Guardian city editor Steven T. Jones will lead a lively discussion with key characters from his book, The Tribes of Burning Man: How an Experimental City in the Desert is Shaping the New American Counterculture, and will consider how this culture is transforming our understanding of cities and citizenship. Assembled are a panel of people to participate in this discussion, including Opulent Temple’s Syd Gris, key members of the Flaming Lotus Girls and Temple of Flux, and other surprise guests. SPUR is even springing for a huge pot of gumbo to celebrate the event Mardi Gras-style. This event is generously sponsored by the Koret Foundation.

"Tribes of Burning Man" Book Reading and Discussion
Friday, March 11, Scribe will do a reading and program at the historic Westerfeld House, a fully restored 120-year-old mansion on Alamo Square Park. This unique building is owned by longtime burner Jim Siegel (whose Distractions store has long been a Burning Man ticket outlet) and was where The Mutaytor recorded its latest album, Unconditional Love, a recording session covered in Scribe’s book. Joining the discussion on this intimate evening will be event founder Larry Harvey and other burner luminaries. Details and RSVP at www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/event.php?eid=165773263475689

BACK TO MAURITIUS! - A Dodo Bus Burning Man Fundraiser
Time
Friday, March 18 at 7:00pm - March 19 at 2:30am
Location
Supperclub
657 Harrison Street
San Francisco, CA
History has a peculiar way of favoring the winners of epic battles. So it should come as no surprise that the commonly held understanding of the dodo is that it was a dumb, oblivious, fearless bird incapable of acknowledging the threat of a predator until it was being chewed up and swallowed.
This is a silly, dastardly lie.
Never before in the history of avian warriors has there existed so belligerently fierce a winged beast as the dodo.
In its honor, we, The Dodo crew, have the privilege of presenting to you an evening of untethered mayhem inspired by the tantric orgy of mutilation that must have occurred on the final day of the final dodo's final fight against the forces of darkness.
BEHOLD the maniacal music of the most ferocious breed of bird to ever wish it could actually fly!
UNRAVEL yourself on the dancefloor to bombastic beats as you perform an unfeathered, unfettered WINGED GYRATION.
Just don't, for the love of Mauritius, do the chicken dance. That's grounds for your immediate cannibalization.
*A BENEFIT FOR THE DODO BUS*
Featuring:
INFLUENCE [Strategik], ANTHONY JAMES [Strategik], JOEJOE [Brass Tax], DING DONG [Brass Tax], MACE [Brass Tax], ETHAN MILLER [FnF], WHISKEY DEVIL [FnF/Much Thump], COSMIC SELECTOR [Opulent Temple], DR. REK [Dodo/Monticello], DR. WHISKERS [Strategik/Dodo], MANOPAUSE [Dodo/Monticello]

PLUS VENDORS AND PERFORMANCES TBA!

DISTRIKT is a non-profit electronic music collective and experiment of a few Deep End organizers of years past. Ask any one of us why, and you might get a different answer: giving back to the electronic music and alternative arts community; a desire to throw furious & fierce parties in the desert and elsewhere throughout the year; an urge to provide venues for music, dancing, and other art forms; an arrested development inability to let go and an ambition to try something new.
Our eclectic group of people offer up their talents — be it music making, drink slinging, construction craftiness, technological wizardry, performance art, or benevolent mischief. We live and breathe our ethos year round, and look forward to giving back to the community that has inspired us and bonded us together. This is our culture, this is our art, this is our gift.
We grow our community through new blood, new ideas, and old friends. We provide a venue for music, dance, and alternative art on the playa and beyond at a level of sound and fury you won’t soon forget. We want to gift you with daytime drink, dance, and a great crew of peeps and do what we do best.

Host a Regional! Housing Needed for BM Regional Summit!
Howdy Bay Area Burning Man Friends!
We are pleased to announce Burning Man's fourth annual Regional Network Leadership Summit, hosted in San Francisco. Each year, we invite Regional Contacts and other community leaders from across the globe to the Bay Area to share ideas and connect with one another and with local Burners and staff. We are seeking hosts for our out-of-town Burner guests who will be in town
Friday, April 1st through April 3rd.
This year's Summit is held in Japantown. If you live in an area close to public transportation and can accommodate guests, please let us know via SummitHousing@BurningMan.com. You can expect that some visitors will arrive as early as Thursday evening, March 31st and may leave Monday morning, April 4th.
We find that giving the Regional Contacts and other guests the opportunity to stay with a member of the community adds so much to their experience and makes them feel more welcome than they would if they were going to lay their head upon a hotel pillow each night.
Though we're not yet sure exact numbers of attendees or their exact arrival dates and times, we wanted to put out a call to get an idea of how many visitors we'll be able to match up with local hosts during the Summit weekend.
Please email us at SummitHousing@BurningMan.com if you're interested, and we'll forward you a short questionnaire to collect information about the area in which you live, proximity to public transport, and how many guests you might be willing to host.
Many thanks and dusty love,
The Burning Man Regionals Committee
