One of the funnest things of the night were the steam punk wheel chairs we made from 1940′s airport fire extinguisher. I woke up at 2 am last night with a design to make them into giant tricycles. Stay tuned for those on the playa. Video
Tanzee the fire Queen
Theres a dragon in my driveway. Anyone who wants to help me write the children’s book with this title let me know.
This made us cry with pride, even Andy. This is Ann, Keith’s daughter, she is 16 and put us all to shame as performers. Stay tuned to what she does in the next!
Due to permit issues with the event staff we have decided not to perform this sat at Sand by the Ton. The front Porch will still show up. We are sad and had a really good show planned. This was to be our fundraiser, please join the Giant Iron Snail Car the Golden Mean fan club to keep track of our next fabulous events http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=44874701099. And if you would like make a donation to the car here:http://www.formandreform.com/wordpress/?page_id=388
Friends and family? Join us in the parking lot at the shop for some bbq a beer and maybe the girls on the loading dock putting on a show.
The Boiler Bar crew & The Front Porch have decided to throw in with Sand by the Ton and hold our annual fundraiser there instead.
We teamed up with all our favorite art, cars, performers, and music to create the spot to be July 31st, stage number 9.

See with you own untrained eye the wondrous snake charming Queen Tansy
Squirm with trepidation as Mitara balances live cold beer on her head.
Wince and tap your toes to JD’s Accordion wonders
Glue your eyes to Beauty of Jodi’s Eastern accents
And just try to keep up with dyslexia ramblings of yours truly
Dress the part and make us Eastbainians feel at home!
Happy New Years form the Boiler Bar to all of you who have supported art one drink at a time.
Thanks to all who came and made it a wonderful new years for me and Kyrsten.
I was glad to have some time to talk to friends and see Dismal’s great fireworks show. There were great bands around every corner and 5 fire trucks!
Keep in touch by joining our fan club for the Golden Mean. Our next shop party is in Mid February, where we will be unveiling our new proposed project for Burning Man.
I saw big kids and small alike shooten for their bird! Man was fresh deep-fried turkey good!
I really want to thank everyone who worked, played, danced, sang, burned, talked, drank, and saw me smile. It was quite the night as these pictures show.
Ahhhh the Porch! it transform the parking lot into another place that was not West Oakland. Here it is with the The Easy Leaves making our feet tap!
Jodi lighting a cigarette to the sounds of JD’s banjo.
I watched and enjoyed EL RADIO FANTASTIQUE, Mykee Ramen and the Boiler Bar performers and was sorry I didn’t have my camera to capture what wonderful things were happening on our very little Boiler Bar stage.
And to top it all off CHP finally made it to the party a few hours after sunrise to take a turn at shooting the fire.
