Hello there North Bay!
Well it is on. Jeremy done good, he found us a place for a three day campout! W00t to the woo hoo and ring a ding dinghy, here we come Artisanry! May 2-4 in the Willits area of Mendocino County. So contact us at northbay (at) burningman (dot) com to get involved. Participate. And generally build things and set them on fire! To music! While drinking, perhaps adult beverages, or a nice fresh fruit smoothie on a long walk with your arm around a cutie. Because let’s face it, that’s just how we roll.
Take it from a dry drunk and a faithful tramp, changing stripes don’t fall too far from the little dog learning new tricks in the closet under the old apple tree with anyone else but me! Not through this wardrobe. Try next door. Did I say that out loud? Get in on CORE or whatever we end up building. Something will be built and then set on fire, mark my words. wanna play? get in it!
And go check out KJ Paul! He let me drunk karaoke at juplaya once, so I am a forever fan. Folly Feast Fashion and Flirt Fling? hells yes!
Xoxo RLL

What is the Folly Feast?
The Folly Feast can be an all night affair or a three day escape from reality, depending on how you want to take advantage of it. It is a costume ball, a feast, an all night party, 28 mini themed parties, a show that runs from 7pm until well after the sun rises and then its a slumber party.
Originally called the Folly Feast Fashion and Flirt Fling, there is a lot going on at this party! For as little as $100 you will get a full three days of some of the craziest fun you have ever experienced without getting dusty. There are 28 hotel rooms, a saloon, a parlor and a wedding chapel, each containing its own little world, which are referred to as Folly. You can think of them as mini theme camps. Some of the rooms will have amazing performers in them, such as Carletta Sue Kay, Sparkbox, Mark Growden, Freddi Price, Subgenius style short term weddings, others with activities like karaoke, several minibars, an Irish Coffee House, Musical Sing-A-Long, a costume rack and still others with interactive art projects like Spy’s Big Baby room. If you are inspired, there are a few rooms left so come up with your own idea and make it happen.
This event includes it all, even food and some booze. You can even BYOB. If you are in San Francisco, you can get on the Applause Bus, which leaves Friday night and returns on Sunday. We will have the hotel Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, so feel free to bring a festive nightgown, fantastic robe or extravagant lingerie for a slumber party!
This really is a crazy fun experience. Many of the performers have played large venues such as the Great American Music Hall and tour Internationally and you will be able to see them perform in a tiny hotel room. Here are some videos of a few of the various performers. http://dukedutchy.
You would probably spend more just going out for dinner and drinks in your town… so come experience the Folly Feast #5 on FebruaryFirst, 2014!
Details and tickets can be found at: http://FollyFeast.com.
I heretofore shall account myself highly honored, and await with the greatest anticipation the welcome arrival of you and yours; I shall celebrate your revered presence, fair Fortune’s gift, at this Fling of Flings. May you Feast, Folly and Flirt to your heart’s content.
With the utmost highest of regards,
His Grace
The Duke Dutchy

Biochar Conservation Burn Workshop and Training with Peter Hirst
Friday February 14th at 8am-noon, Shone Farm
7450 Steve Olson Lane near Forestville.
Friends of Biochar- If you have ever burned a pile of brush, sticks, and wood on your land, or helped someone else do it, then this workshop is for you. We show you how to burn the material you need to clear cleanly, and make biochar to improve your soil in the bargain. You “get rid” of your in-the-way biomass by upcycling it into your agricultural or land management systems, making things better for everyone. Your soil is improved and the rest of us get a little less carbon in the atmosphere. If you are looking at this from outside the hands-on farm, a cleaner open burn methodology can reduce emissions, improving air quality, while capturing a significant portion of the original carbon for near-permanent sequestration. If you are a policy maker, here is one climate-response trick to have up your sleeve, so get this squarely on your radar. Check it out and see why.
Workshop fee $20
