Founders Bay Brief
Where builders are showing up this week
|
|
Hi friends,
Hope youโre having a great week! ๐
I was able to step out of the hospital for a couple of days while Liam spent some time with his dad, and one of the highlights was joining our Titanicโs End build day.
Itโs incredible to see so many people coming together to build one of the largest art pieces for Burning Man. Every person is volunteering their time, skills, and creativity to bring something extraordinary to life.
Being back with the team reminded me how special it is when a community comes together around a shared vision. I canโt wait to see it standing on the playa.

Community Moment
๐ฅ TITANIC Burns at Burning Man
|
|
|
|
Be part of the 2nd largest burn after the Man.
My community Titanic's End is bringing TITANIC to the playa โ two halves of a sinking ship rigged with pyro and lighting. 7+ months to build, 6 days out there, then we burn it down. Learn More โ
Want to be part of creating this experience? We need 130 Perimeter Crew for Friday's burn โ stand feet from the fire as the crowd falls silent, then erupts.
