Hello Friends!
The Temple survey team are now safely on the playa and preparing for the truckloads of the structure to arrive. The playa build team has just 17 days until the Burning Man Festival officially opens the dusty gate. The shop team are still working away at American Steel loading trucks and finishing a few projects.
Needless to say, we’ve have had an eventful week. We are all collectively happy to return to the work of creating the big, beautiful Art!
As of today, we are getting closer to reaching our fundraising goal.
A special thanks to the team over at WePay for helping us get our financial transactions back to operating capacity. Simply put – they Rock!
We are still in need of donations to help us cover the costs of the Temple..
Many, many thanks to all of you who made donations this week. Some folks even gave again. Feels good, doesn’t it?

As a protest to the Paypal funds freeze, we decided to launch another kickstarter early yesterday. By the time we received the phone call from Paypal, we already had enough pledges to have that kickstarter funded. It is still growing as I type. Love that!

I can hardly believe it was just two days ago that I was contemplating how I could maybe print some Flux Foundation Fun Bucks as I bought a lotto ticket. Since then, our longtime pal Steve Jones from SFBG posted the article heard ’round the world, friends of the Temple rallied for us with mind boggling results, Paypal “allowed” us to make a withdrawal, I joined Facebook (yep, I said it) and we are back on schedule.
There is still plenty to do. I had better get back to work.
Cheers!
