Like Flint said- yay logo! I eagerly await the patches, as they are the most well-designed and elegant of any event I attend which results in patches.

As the exclusive ticket counterfeiter of Balsa Man 2011, I oppose solving the ticket scarcity problem! The grassroots counterfeiting movement will continue to overcome adversity and discrimination!

Thanks Weasel Bookmite. Our intern used penultimate when it should have been ultimate. Fixed now!

You do know what penultimate means don’t you.
I was surprised when I looked it up.

My buddy and I came in from Oakland, rode BART and the 1 California out to the beach. We showed up early, and then all of a sudden there were a couple of hundred mellow people in a good mood surrounding tiny sculptures. It was fun to help place some of the tiny ‘burma-shave’ signs. The shark almost bit me when I jumped, but I landed ok. My buddy (who was not dressed that warmly) really really enjoyed his tiny cup of coffee from center camp cafe. We caught a last-minute ride from some dedicated balsa-burners and made it across town just in time for the balsa man burn. Quite spectacuolar and impressive. Looking forward to a setting with no presence of uptight law enforcerment. We were inspired. Thank You!

[...] This year’s project was self-funded, but perhaps next year I’ll apply for a tiny art grant from the Black Pebble Arts Foundation. (donate here) [...]

We had a ball. My kids enjoyed holding the ends of the Shark Jump Rope and handing out the stickers, and all the participants were very sweet to them. The hasty relocation was a great Teachable Moment (“Mama, why did the police want to stop us?” “Well, honey, I’m so glad you asked! Sometimes the police exceed their authority and it is the duty of conscientious citizens to, etc etc…”) The burn looked really beautiful against the backdrop of industrial bay.

Despite all the chaos, it managed to rock my little world. Unfortch, the Balsa Man Opera KuntstGruppe was unable to to perform an EXREMELY compressed version of Wagner’s Ring Cycle”The Tiny Grant was put to good use (beer and cookies) Next year you should do it on the ROOF of a Police Station. They’d NEVER suspect it there!
