[Twan's List] V002:Issue001
Thursday, September 7th, 2006Hello Again,
Just returned from a short and sweet (maybe even a tad bitter-sweet) Playa adventure, my 10 year BRC anniversary. Black Rock City never ceases to blow my mind every year, without fail. I find myself uttering those words out loud each year, whether alone or with friends. It felt as though I had come full circle, having done a lot of things this year that I had never done before. Over the years, I’ve camped all around our crazy city: from the Esplanade, to a few streets back, and all the way on the deepest road, north, south, and center. I’ve never been on the Playa for under 2 weeks, and once for almost a month in 1998. This time, it was for only 5 short nights Thursday thru Monday. It was strange, interesting and fun, yet slightly melancholic…
It was my 10th consecutive sojourn and perhaps my final. I never say never, but I’ve been talking with some long-time Burner friends about replacing that span of time and that amount of money and pooling our resources to go somewhere in the south Pacific, or Bali, or Fiji, or fill-in-the-blank… for a month or six weeks instead of the Playa. Though, as you know, it is very difficult to say “no” to the Playa… Maybe the better choice would be to go to the Playa AND visit far flung countries around the planet. We’ll see if this new idea has legs….
I’ve more to say about Burning Man this year, and I intend to post some thoughts and ideas on my blog where hopefully a discussion can unfold. As my friend and hero Bill Hicks used to say prior to his death in 1994: “Folks…. It’s time to evolve some ideas….”

** SAT. SEPT. 9: “DROPPING KNOWLEDGE” WEBCAST **
A global conversation in 8 Themes
On September 9, 2006, 112 of the world’s great minds will come together around the world’s largest table in Berlin’s historic Bebelplatz square. Recorded by 112 digital cameras, they will simultaneously answer 100 questions, chosen from thousands donated by the global public. The resulting 600+ hours of audiovisual content will launch an online resource: a knowledge portal and dialog forum created to host a global conversation covering the most pressing questions of our time.
Challenging, incendiary, poetic and profound, the 100 questions to be asked on September 9 engage the key social topics of our age. Today, Dropping Knowledge provides an exclusive preview of the questions by announcing the 8 themes around which the global dialog will be launched. They are:
Reinventing Economics
Questions about poverty, prosperity and expanding opportunity.
Conscious Recognition
Questions about ethics and responsibility.
Politics of Violence
Questions about peace, conflict and casualties of war.
Understanding Power
Questions about freedom and governance.
The Human Footprint
Questions about energy, ecology and sustainable ways of life.
The New Global Frontier
Questions about culture, communication and interconnection.
Innovation Acceleration
Questions about science, technology and the future.
A Perceiving Eye
Questions about your view.
To see a live-stream of the Table of Free Voices, or to give your own answers to the 100 questions, drop by http://www.droppingknowledge.org on 09. September 2006.

** SUN. SEPT. 10: GEMINI MANOR RETURN FROM THE PLAYA PARTY **
Well, THEY’RE BACK! Over 39,000 people attended the BURNING MAN ( www.burningman.com ) festival in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada last week.

We’ve been there, made countless new friends there and have been greatly inspired by the fun, creativity and Community Spirit that is the Soul of Burning Man.
So, if you have been there, bring photos, videos, tall tales, artwork and wear your Burner Costumes. If you haven’t gone, come & join our celebration (with or without costumes!). We’ll have a very exciting FIRE CEREMONY featuring our own B. Man figure and the Fabulous Drumming rhythms of JAMES PARRA and his Passionate CONGEROS.

** SEPTEMBER LASERIUM SHOWS CONTINUE IN VAN NUYS **
Continuing its current run, the Van Nuys Cyberstudio of Laser Images, Inc. will present Laserium Shows on Saturdays in September.
Complete information is at www.laserium.com and at 818 997-3624.
Reservations for shows at 6:00, 8:00 and 10:00 on Saturday September 16, September 23, and September 30 are now being accepted at laserium@earthlink.net or 818 997-6611.
Admission is $15 at the door, and there is a discount for groups of 5 or more.
Featuring the classic Laserium Shows of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles, as seen at CSUN and Griffith Observatory, the shows will also introduce the interactive technologies to be incorporated in the forthcoming Laserium Cyberdome.
Enhancing the Laserium shows will be stunning multi-color laser effects filling the air overhead and awesome stereo sound; while in an adjacent studio patrons will experience the unique, interactive LightDancer which puts them in control of lasers, video and even musical accompaniment.
Says Ivan Dryer, creator of Laserium, “Our Cyberstudio may be intimate, but the effects are pretty overwhelming, and what people can see and do is unlike anything available anywhere—even previously at the Observatory!”
Because seating is limited, patrons are advised to make early reservations noting the number in their party and desired show time.
According to Dryer, the Cyberstudio is the precursor to the all-new Laserium Cyberdome, whose location and opening date will be announced soon.

Astronomers at the International Astronomical Union’s General Assembly in Prague decided that the Solar System has eight planets, and Pluto is not one of them. Pluto has been declared a “dwarf planet.” Joining Pluto in the dwarf planet category are giant asteroid Ceres and Pluto’s cousin 2003 UB313. Get the full story at http://spaceweather.com .

BIG FULL MOON: Tonight’s full moon is the closest and biggest of 2006. Why? The Moon’s orbit is lopsided: one side is closer to Earth than the other. When the Moon turns full on Sept 7th, it will be on the close side, making it seem a bit wider than usual. Look for the extra-wide Moon rising in the east at sunset–very pretty.
BONUS–A LUNAR ECLIPSE: If you live in eastern Europe, Asia, Africa or Australia, you might also see a partial lunar eclipse tonight. The Moon will dip into Earth’s shadow for about 90 minutes around 1851 UT on Sept. 7th. Only 19% of the Moon will be covered, but that’s enough for a nice display. Maps and animations may be found at http://Spaceweather.com .
A SPOT OF FOLKLORE: September’s full Moon is usually called the Harvest Moon, but not this year. By definition, the Harvest Moon is the full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox. This year’s equinox falls on Sept. 23rd and the full Moon closest to that comes on October 7th. The 2006 Harvest Moon will have to wait until October.

** ANDY WARHOL FOUNDATION GRANTS DEADLINE REMINDER **
Reminder Application Deadline September 18th!
Initiated by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and administered by Creative Capital, The Creative Capital | Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant is a three-year pilot program designed to support critical writing on contemporary visual art through project-based grants issued directly to individual authors. The first program of its type, it was founded in recognition of both the financially precarious situation of arts writers and their indispensable contribution to a vital artistic culture. Through awards for books, articles, and work in new and alternative media, The Creative Capital | Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant aims to honor and encourage:
• Writing about art that is rigorous, passionate, eloquent, and precise
• Writing about art in which a keen engagement with the present is infused with an appreciation of the historical
• Writing about art that is neither afraid to take a stand, nor content to deliver authoritative pronouncements, but seeks rather to pose questions and generate new possibilities for thinking, seeing, and making
• Writing about art that is sensitive to both the importance and difficulty of situating aesthetic objects within their broader social and political contexts
• Writing about art that does not dilute or sidestep complex ideas but renders accessible their meaning and value
• Writing about art that challenges creatively the limits of existing conventions, without valorizing novelty as an end in itself.
Approximately twenty grants will be awarded per annual cycle, ranging from $3,000–$50,000. Art historians, artists, critics, curators, journalists, and practitioners from other fields that engage contemporary visual art and culture are welcome to apply.
The Creative Capital | Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant will open for on-line submissions on August 14, 2006. The deadline for grant applications is September 18, 2006.
