SUPPORT THE "HOUSE OF YES"
AN ARTIST SPACE DEVASTATED BY A HOUSE FIRE APRIL 22, 2008

Eight talented members of our extended community in New York, lost their house and their art space to a devastating fire.  The "House of Yes" was a vibrant performance venue, a costume shop, a communal living space and a gathering place for New York circus performers, musicians, and other creative spirits.

BWB AND MUTAYTOR?

That's right. The band, Mutaytor, just came out with a new album, Yelling Theater in a Crowded Fire.  The last song on the album, Sunrise, was inspired by the work of Burners without Borders.  Mutaytor has made this song available for you to download here for 99 cents. All proceeds go to BWB.

A little about Sunrise from Atom of Mutaytor. "Sunrise is about having such faith that tomorrow will be better that we stay up all night to greet it. Sunrise is about making tomorrow better. Sunrise is about Burners without Borders, and artists like David Best, and the mad geniuses working out the math that makes tomorrows world inhabitable. It's a love song to this community and to our heros here. You're doing the right thing, and we support you."

Thank you Mutaytor, for so creatively supporting this community!

BACKGROUND: WHAT IS BURNERS WITHOUT BORDERS?

Every summer Burning Man participants (aka Burners) meet in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada to re-engage with our community, and to celebrate shared values of radical self-expression and self-reliance. We celebrate the power of community, honor the importance of art, and enjoy the immediacy of experience. Then we leave - without a trace of our having been there.

But that experience and those values don't get left behind in the desert. They inform who we are, and how we interact with the larger world around us. BWB is a manifestation of what can happen when we take our values off the playa and out into the rest of the world.
