Hey there Temple rockstars!

Wow... just wow! Its hard to know what to say at this point, the support the community is showing to this Temple is just... I don't even know how to say it. In the three short weeks since this project began, the level of support & enthusiasm has just been beyond our wildest dreams. Even though we kinda knew that the Temple would get a lot of love from the community, even though pre were telling us to get ready to be blown away, we never EVER expected this project to get of to such an amazing, inspiring start! 

We've been hearing a lot of stories over the past few weeks from all kinds of people about their Temple experience, and, though each one of these stories is unique & very personal, they all share a certain feeling, they are all told in a certain tone of voice. The Temple has had a powerful, wonderful effect on the lives of so many of us, and it is amazing to see so many people stepping forward together to provide this same experience for each other... Seeing the love that is pouring in from every corner of the Burning Man community only strengthens our resolve to ensure a beautiful, magical Temple rises from the dust at BRC 2011. 

Your support means a lot at this early stage. Right now, we have a crew (of absolute legends!) working hard to clear out our (epic! massive!) pre-build warehouse space at Hobson Square in Reno, and even now, bags are being packed & lives being put in order around the world, so that work can begin in only 3 short weeks from now! Many many thanks for helping to ensure that the build gets off to the quick, positive start it needs, and many many thanks for helping to create the Temple of Transition at Burning Man 2011

We love you guys, and we love our city!

Love love love love love!

Wow, what a great response so far from you guys and girls to this fundraising effort.

There has been a tremendous amount of work going on in the back ground from a large group of dedicated people from all around the world to make this Temple project come to fruition.......

Architectural drawings are well advanced as well as cad 3d renderings that will enable cnc routing for a variety of elements on the Temple

Our media team is in full swing with a wide range of activities planned across all facets of communication

Local fundraisers are booked and being organised in Auckland, San Francisco, Vancouver and Reno with more citys to be added as they swing into gear

We are also now proud to announce that we have secured our Reno base camp build site which will be at Hobson Square which is also home of the Salvagery Art Collective.

This is going to be a fun summer folks and once again thank you very much for your support and feedback for the Temple project.
