Colorado Burning Man Community
UPDATE - Screening of "Dust and Illusions" documentary in Denver
UPDATED 5/8/09:
The courtyard at the Melbourne Mansion will play host to an exclusive screening of "Dust and Illusions," a film that looks at the 30 years of history of Burning Man, all the way back to the late 1970's - deep into the origins of the event. Through 21 interviews the film presents the philosophies that fueled the creation of the festival and it's evolution from a small gathering of friends to the largest “counter-cultural” event in North America. It offers a new perspective on the meaning of the event and questions whether its organizers are more concerned about making sure the show is ready when the gate opens or if they still truly engage in building a community and fostering art.
Date and Time: Saturday July 11th - Doors at 7pm and the Film at 8
Where: The courtyard at the Melbourne Mansion, 1205 Logan St., Denver There is gate access to the courtyard on 12th between Logan and Grant.
Tickets: $12 in advance or $13 at the door
Drinks: There will be a donation bar with wines and cocktails
Below is a trailer of the film, for more information, visit www.dustandillusions.com. There are only 60 tickets available for the event. For other questions or to purchase tickets, email Joshua at melbournedenver@gmail.com.

Well, great! 2 down, 98 to go! In talking with friends in the community, I'm relatively certain we can sell enough tickets to float the costs and pay the filmmaker. If we don't, I don't mind spending some of my own money to host a cool event. Thanks for the feedback!
