Founders Bay Brief
Where builders are showing up this week
|
|
Hi Friends,
Hope youโre having a wonderful weekend.
On my end, I didnโt have the kids this weekend, so I spent some time at Airpusherโs annual festival and a build day with Titanicโs End. It was a nice reminder of how creative and loving my Burning Man community is.
At the same time, Iโve been getting ready for Liamโs surgery next week. Itโs a big moment for our family, and while Iโm trying to stay strong for him, Iโd be lying if I said I wasnโt a little nervous. Weโre taking it one day at a time and focusing on the road ahead.
Now, onto this weekโs events, opportunities, and updates from around the Bay.
