The Shiva Vista Project (the people behind the fire stage on the esplanade) is based in Reno and they are having a fundraiser on Feb. 2. It's probably the perfect place to meet a bunch of burners in Reno. Here's a link to their tribe the latest about the fundraiser:

"Tutu Party Update!
Today, 2:36 PM
Hello Shiva Vista Friends and family!
And here we are. It’s already 2008!
I should have written this two almost two weeks ago now but between the hollidaze and being sick It just didn’t get done. I do now however have most everything finalized for the SVP fundraiser on the 2nd of February 2008. The flyers will be finalized and printed this week. Jess has the press release almost finished awaiting some small finalizations. And things are generally moving along really nicely toward what I’m hoping is a very successful night for the Shiva Vista Project and the entire Reno/Tahoe Burning Man community.
I would like to start out by thanking the people who came out to look at the space it the Green Room and helped start to visualize how we can use the space to its fullest advantage. The space is nice because there are three or four zones that we can utilize. There is a bar area, a middle large room with a large stage, as well as another large room with a smaller stage great for Djs.
We are going to turn the middle room in a low tempo chill room with couches and a hookah lounge, as well as use the larger stage for acts like Boho Burlesque and Dragonfly Aerialists. This middle room on the far wall is also going to have a silent auction where people are going to able to bid on things like being able to control the buttons on the Shiva Vista Project for 5 minutes to be redeemed on the playa. Ill list the items we have been donated so far at the end. The middle room is also going to have lights lighting patterns and one of the crazy screens that D6 is setting up. I’m also thinking it would be a great place for people to spin glowies.
The back room they used to be the liquid lounge is going to be a little more bumping. Less loungy and more dancy. There will be lots of crazy lights and possibly be another of the crazy screen (what is the name of that, hehe. ) That back room also has an old bar that the crush gals can use as a run way to dance and strut around on. I was thinking it would be fun to have a an informal fashion show on it. Any chance Boho Crush wants to do something like this?
We are still deciding where we might be letting people in. There is a really great door in front that would lead into the dance area. It is really nice because it would be easy to control people on the way in and as well as provide a space for coat check. We can also put some lighting in that big front window so people know where to come in as well as attract the fire flys walking by.
We have a great line up Djs to keep everyone dancing all night long.

Here is the lineup.

Boho Crush and Reno Burlesque
Dragon Fly Aerialists
Robotronia
The Rhino
GT
Auditory Canvas
C(squared)
Zach
Ryan Howard
Allen King
d.o.a.

I also have a couple more Djs that I have talked that will be there as backups in cass someone doesn’t show or someone gets sick.


Here is the list of stuff donated for the silent auction.
Ten, 5 minuet spots playing with the buttons to the Shiva Vista Project. Ill be designing some fancy tickets to be redeemed during open burns on the Playa.
Four tickets to shoot 5 gallons of diesel 100 feet in the air with Dave Kings liquid shooter.
Eight large framed pictures of the Shiva Vista Project and other really nice fire show
One, 20 minute show by 2 or 3 Controlled Burn members that can be used for a party or special event. I will be one the performers.
One fire staff made by Dave king
One or two paintings by me
Two Burning Man tickets
And anything else fun that people wanna donate.

Goddess Donna has volunteered to run this part of the fundraising so please contact her at donna@goddessdonna.com if any one would like to donate..

Ill have a list together in a day or two as to what kinds of details that need to be done to hopefully find some people that would like to help out ether before during and after the party.
I hope everyone had a great new year. I’ve been sick. Woke up this morning with my eyes glued shut.
Kinda nasty but neat. Hehe.

Ohh. One last thing. I’m having one more meeting at the green room coming up on Thursday the 10th of January at the Green Room. I’ll put out reminders before hand and I’ll get the word out when the flyers are done and where people can get them.
Thank you again to everyone for your help. This project is truly a community effort.
We can’t do it without your support.

Love Life and Fire,
Ryano "
