Conexus Cathedral Open House BBQ; Welding & Carpentry Party

Hello !

So this year a community collaboration is building something absolutely
massive for this year's burning man. We are building a "cathedral" pavilion
that will be literally 2/3 the size of a football field and nearly 50 feet
high. We are an official funded project and will be one of the key
installations at this years event. This project has been in development
since early January and are now in the final phases of component assembly.
SEE OUR CONSTRUCTION TIMES FLYER BELOW IF YOU WANT TO HELP OUT.

On Saturday, July 22, we are opening up the "Conexus Cathedral Works" to
friends and visitors. Come by and check out the progress. We have a massive
10,000 sq foot warehouse dedicated to the construction of one of the largest
burning man projects ever constructed !

Please visit our website at www.conexusvillage.org for more information
(See the Gallery Proposal page for lots of great images...)

We are having a pot-luck barbecue (bring your own grillables, we will have
the fixins, and a keg of beer...)

Come on by and check it out. If you are feeling particularly energetic, we
could really use a little extra help during the weekend. We have LOTS of
different needs, from sewing, to helping us fabricate our rose window and If
you are a welder, will put ya to work welding !

See you there. - Tom
