Well,

I almost missed it but I'm told that bURNINGvAN 2013 will take place, same place
actually, this Saturday from sometime in the afternoon to whenever people go
home.

Ocean Beach
San Francisco, CA

Across the Great Highway from the restaurant and the windmill, in the north end
of the parking lot for the beach. Look for vans, except if you look for me,
don't look for a van as mine isn't not yet ready for prime time. At least not as
of 8 PM PST, January 17. Too bad. Very sad story. See me for details unless I
don't show up which is pretty likely.

But everyone else will show up! Really. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is slated
for a beach performance, they'll have no problem if it's cold. Canadian Brass
should be there as well as it will be a balmy day compared to what they're used
to. The Alaskan National Guard is on tap to provide security, you know, control
the paparazzi, prevent people from stealing our, or rather your, vans for the
ransom and the like. The entire population of the Yukon is also coming, mostly
to bask in the warmth. The only question is: Are you coming? Hey, Woltz,
Mourkas, Stephen, Cane rattler, you coming down to freez, uh enjoy the cool air
with the rest of us, uh...them?

I have half an engine case to burn but that probably won't happen as I've been
told the smoke is toxic, and if you try and roast marshmallows over the flames
it almost always turns out badly. Oh, yeah, and it's illegal too.

Please send your entry fees to me as BenT would just abscound with them as usual
