I basically inherited (after paying back-taxes) | an isolated, derelict trailer-park which is being | transformed without the interference of cultural bureaucrats | into a working resource for creative pursuits. The financial | overhead is practically non-existent; creative applicants are | told the location of the Trailer-Park and given written permission | to abide there. Usually some structural and creative contribution | is made to the Park during your stay. No application fees, slides, | references, or resumes are required or desired. A questionnaire is | sent to all applicants. The current residents will invite new | applicants to visit. APPLICATIONS FOR THE NEXT SEASON ARE BEING | PERUSED NOW; an electronic response is preferred. =-=-=v-=-==-=-=vvvv-=-=-=-v=-=v=-===-=-=vv-=-=-=v-=-=-vv=-v-==-=-=-=v=-v-=-v-v only the artists capable of dragging the mystic power out of themselves seem able to work productively within the breakdown of our society... * Al-Shira-al-jamanija Burning-Man Event
