The Monterey Bay Area Regional Burners (M-PYRE, don't ask what it stands for (we haven't decided)) will be hosting a bonfire on the beach in Monterey on December 1st.
The party will go from afternoon until late (playa time)
We need DJ's and Fire Dancers - contact griffinchilders@gmail.com if you would like to perform.
Please bring some wood to burn, some food to share, your own cocktails, art, some friends, and a smile. Playa wear is highly encouraged.
As of last night, there are two porta-johns within 100 feet or so, and the fire rings are still on the beach (those were two concerns).
The plan is to take over two fire rings so that more people can enjoy the fire, so we need lots of wood. Rather than make somebody responsible for hauling around a ton of wood, I'd like everybody to bring s small bundle with them.
Directions:
From Hwy 1, take the Del Monte Ave exit
Stay on Del Monte Ave until you get to Case Verde
Turn Right on Case Verde
Go up the hill until you see the beach.
You can park on Tide to unload, but you will get a parking ticket if you stay there past dark. Instead, park on one of the residential streets further back.
After party will be at my house. My neighborhood (about 15 minutes away, so don't drink too much) has lot's of parking for small RV's and vans if you want to camp out there. Contact me for the address, or wait until the party night, and we can caravan as a group.
We can use a few volunteers for set up, greeting, and designated driving. Contact me if you'd like to help out.
As always, this is a Leave No Trace event

Re: let's do it on the beach
Tue, November 27, 2007 - 3:42 PMI hope to see some of the great people that I met at the Acid Totem campout in Big Sur, this Saturday Dec. 1.
M-PYRE (the Monterey Burning Man Regional Group) is hosting a big bonfire. We've got DJ's scheduled from 2pm until 1am.
Bring a little firewood for us to burn. Potluck, BYOB for the share bar, Flogging BINGO at 3pm, two fires, lot's of fire dancers, and best of all, lot's of great people.
So come on out, and play with us in the sand.
The bonfire is free, but donations will keep the events happening in the future.

Re: let's do it on the beach
Mon, December 3, 2007 - 10:14 AMThanks to any and all Acid Totem followers who made it to the M-PYRE bonfire in Monterey. What a great time that was. I've never seen so many people on the beach having such a great time. Even the police were impressed with the party. They felt so bad for shutting us down!
