After reading the comment and returning to browse the site, I'm impressed by the scale and enthusiastic participation of these dedicated fellow burners near Cape Town. This got me to thinking about how fun it would be to make a world tour of the various burns there are now. We've seen the documentaries on Burning Man in Nevada, how about a comprehensive look at the variations of the event in other venues and countries!?]]> http://cliffypop.com/2008/11/20/afrika-burns-double-take-and-regional-burn-world-tour/ Obama ‘08 - Hoping for Hope Again MC Yogi and Ursaminor, a group of new media Burners and all around good folks I've met in passing here and there around the North Bay.
