I hope you enjoyed the show and our little get together afterward as well.In case you are wondering, I think that the show went very well, considering that it was the first time ever presented.

Playazon is pleased to offer the 2005 Black Rock Art-Casting Audio Tour.Since Burning Man itself wouldn't exist if not for the art, it is every citizen's duty to either make art, bring art or understand the art that others provide.
