Greetings all, and happy holidays! We're pretty darn sure this will be our last JRS of the (calendar) year, though we just might crank one more out before it's all said and done. (There's big news burbling just underfoot, and it depends on how things go in the next couple weeks.)
We've got your usual variety of bits and bobs from around the Burning Man universe, and we'd especially like to point your attention to our end-of-year donation program for the Burning Man Project. The Project has had a productive 2013 working on a number of projects and programs to spread the Burner ethos around the world (From the playa to the planet! Catchy, right?).
In fact, we have a post in the Burning Blog highlighting some of their most recent activities (http://blog.burningman.com/?p=28843)... and we're looking forward to a lot more in 2014.
Oh and did you notice this JRS looks a little different? New subject line? New "from" name? Yep, well we've changed email systems to one that will make your subscribe, unsubscribe and preference-setting world a LOT easier. And soon ... it'll be prettier. Hooray for that!
We hope your holidays are GREAT.
The Man burns in 254 days!

WHAT'S UP WITH THE BURNING MAN PROJECT?
What's the Burning Man Project been up to lately? A lot, actually. We've got a number of pots on the stove, some small, some large ... some that are quick to make happen, and some that are focused on long-term results.
We've captured a handful of highlights from the last half of this year (this is only a sampling ... the full compliment can be found at www.burningmanproject.org).
Check it out!
http://blog.burningman.com/?p=28843
This is cool, right? Does this excite you? Get your juices flowing? If so, please help us (continue to) bring the playa to the planet! Make a donation to the Burning Man Project (see below)!
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
MAKE A YEAR-END DONATION TO THE BURNING MAN PROJECT
The mission of the nonprofit Burning Man Project is to bring the values and learning from Black Rock City to the place it is most needed: our everyday lives. We envision a world in which self-expression is the norm, where gifting is a daily practice, and participation is enthusiastic and frequent. And that's why we are asking for your contribution to help Burning Man's expansion from the playa to the planet.
More and more academic institutions, nonprofits, businesses and municipalities are looking to learn from the Burning Man experience. They're eager to discover how we build community and sustainability, and to learn why this powerful movement has such life-changing impact. And we are eager to share it with them. To that end, we are busy developing an online learning portal, lectures, philosophical discussions, and demonstration projects to give everybody access to Burning Man ideas, values, and resources -- worldwide and year-round.
While a portion of Burning Man's ticket sales help sustain Burning Man Project's efforts, realizing its full potential will require resources well beyond that. So we are asking for a contribution of ANY SIZE to help us share the Burner ethos. If you've always thought the world should be more like Black Rock City, then this is your chance ... if you can make a donation, we can make a difference.
All donations are fully tax deductible to the extent allowable by law. If you are able to donate $150 or more, we are offering a choice of two Burnerific gifts: the beautiful 2014 Burning Man wall calendar, or a cozy charcoal grey jersey scarf hand-screened with the Burning Man Project logo. We can also accept recurring donations. To donate and choose your gift, please click here:

BURNING MAN'S MARKETPLACE CLOSING TEMPORARILY
Fair warning, we'll be closing down the Marketplace area of our website for revamping, starting December 31. The whole process should take roughly a month, so if all goes well (fingers crossed), it'll be back in February. When it's up and running we'll let you know in the JRS, of course.
Marketplace? Yeah, it's true. You might not have noticed since we don't exactly 'market' the marketplace, it but there is a spot for purchasing Burning Man schwag on the website. From now until December 31st it can be found here: http://marketplace.burningman.com/
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**
THE CHURCH TRAP ORGAN LIVES ON AT THE SPRING ARTS TOWER IN DOWNTOWN LA
Would you believe that Rebekah Waites, creator of "The Church Trap", was a first time Burner this year? Yeah, we had a hard time grokking that ourselves. StuPENDOUS work, especially for a first-timer. Bravo! Rebekah writes:
"Rebekah Waites and the Church Trap Crew are very excited about the opportunity to display the Church Trap organ inside the mezzanine lobby of the Spring Arts Tower in Downtown Los Angeles for the next few months.
If you find yourself in the LA area from now until May please stop by and say hello. The organ is located at:
The Spring Arts Tower
Mezzanine Lobby
453 S. Spring Street
Los Angeles, CA 90013
When you're there you can also stop by Church Trap Lead Artist Jena Priebe's Curio Shop and art gallery which is located upstairs.

We look forward to seeing you!"

BRIAN GOGGIN'S "CARUSO'S DREAM" TAKES FLIGHT
"Caruso's Dream" is a joint production of Goggin and Dorka Keehn, the team that brought the celebrated "Language of the Birds," an installation of blinking books, to the corner of Broadway and Columbus in San Francisco.
The $750,000 commission for this project came through a nationwide competition of 40 artists, organized by the Black Rock Arts Foundation, which started at Burning Man but now focuses on creating urban art experiences outside the desert.

HELP BURNERS WITHOUT BORDERS THRIVE IN 2014!
Hurricane Katrina hit during the Burning Man event in 2005 and many participants were inspired to gather up the supplies they were using to survive on the playa to help those in need on the Gulf Coast. Through the act of gifting $1 million in debris removal to Katrina survivors, Burners Without Borders was born and has continued to thrive today due to this community's commitment to creating a better world.
Over the years, your generous support and participation has enabled this incredibly creative community to accomplish so much. Just this year, BWB has gifted over $3 million in debris removal after Hurricane Sandy and helped marginalized artists in Haiti start their own businesses. Through these and many other projects BWB is making a difference, and we couldn't have done it without you.
As we look to 2014, we have BIG plans, and BWB needs your help to make them possible. To support the continued success of BWB, please donate here:
http://bit.ly/1cRFMPK
Any amount that you can give will go a long way in helping us make a difference in 2014!
If you can donate $150 or more, you will receive a one-of-a-kind custom printed T-shirt, thanks to the donated printing talents of our friends at Remixed Ink. Each high-quality, hand-pressed, custom shirt will contain a print of the 'Temple of Wholyness' and your choice of either 'Truth Is Beauty' or the 'Coyote' art installations from Burning Man 2013.
Shirts will be delivered to you by February 15. You can check out the designs and information about how to receive your thank you gift here at the BWB website:

SATURNALIA 2013 - MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN - DEC 21
Our Burner friends in Wisconsin say:
"We heard so many good comments about Saturnalia 2012, we realized we had to do it again. We will have:
Grapes, olives, figs and dates on platters, cakes in the shape of fertility symbols, crowns of leaves and vines, lots of wine, the horse race dice game, erotic poetry of Sappho, videos and images of the ancient world, lots of candles, dancing of the Muses, ancient Roman-esque party music, and purification with sage.
