Hey North Bay Burners!
Anybody want to make a sofa for Winterblast? It’s coming right up, so we’d have to act fast. Let me know!
Lots going on this month. We’ve got a festival in Petaluma supporting local artists having access to healthcare, a social for North Bay Burners up here in Santa Rosa, one for Marin Burners down in San Rafael, my band is opening for Alicia Bay Laurel at Arlene Francis, then we have Winterblast!, the Artumnal Gathering, and an old fashioned circus event in the town of Sonoma.
Hope to see you out and about,
xoxo RLL

Alicia Bay Laurel, singer/songwriter/guitarist, legendary as bestselling author/illustrator, beloved in Japan and elsewhere as an icon of natural living, will be here in Sonoma County for one solo concert of her eclectic, heart-felt and personal songs.
Alicia will be performing “Living on the Earth: The Musical.” In it, she tells, in edgy stories and original songs, how she came to create the legendary communal/sustainable living guide Living on the Earth in 1969, and what transpired afterwards.
This bohemian artist, author and slack key master will be featuring the local Afro-Celt Folk Pop band The Round as her opening act. This is the first appearance for The Round since reforming the band, and is not to be missed!
There will be a book and CD signing after the show.
This concert is presented in conjunction with the exhibition titled “The Hippies” opening on October 30th at the West County Museum in Sebastopol CA, featuring art and artifacts from the 1960s-70s communes, including Wheeler Ranch, where Alicia Bay Laurel created her book.

Join us for the 10th Annual Artumnal Gathering, a wondrous celebration of our community’s creative minds, makers, and instigators!
The Artumnal Gathering funds Burning Man Project’s Arts and Civic Engagement programs and initiatives.

We hope to increase our grants to artists through our Global Art Grants program and our Civic Arts program to bring even more art to communities in 2017. These programs share wondrous, awe-inspiring works of art with communities who may not have access to such.
Support the proliferation of radically inclusive and innovatively interactive art everywhere! Join us at the Artumnal Gathering for an evening of sumptuous fare, fanciful attire, spirited entertainers and performing artists, exuberant music, and an enticing auction and art gallery, all in the spirit of radical expression and abundant creativity.
