Algae Lab Workshop
Sunday, January 31st, 11am-6pm
http://algaelab.org
Hello fellow algae-philes!
The last time we announced these workshops there was a lot of excitement -- but then we had to postpone. Finally, we are truly ON, and we have something special to share with you: the chance to become an algae farmer right away in your own home...
It's the Personal PhotoBioReactor! We have built the first one and are testing it out. In the next workshop series, I'll teach about algae and algae farming in general, then about my experiences growing particular species, including spirulina in my home. You can go home with everything you need to start growing live, fresh spirulina, harvesting it, and significantly supplement your diet with this superfood.
If you want to grow other species in your PPBRs, or if you have more room & want to grow on a larger scale for food or fuel, we'll support that as well. Everyone will be encouraged to share their experiences, advice, and questions on the ALGAELAB.ORG site.
For those who live far from the Bay Area, there will be How-To's and instructional materials so you can build your own...
The first workshop will be Sunday, January 31st, 11am-6pm, in Berkeley, CA. $150, or $250 to take home your own personal PBR. Hope to see you there!
For more info, visit http://algaelab.org. To sign up, email workshops@algaelab.org.
In green glory,
Dr. Aaron Baum

DUST & ILLUSIONS, A Documentary. 30 YEARS OF BURNING MAN
Thursday, February 11th
After 9 months of sold out screenings through the states, and a success at San Francisco Documentary Film Festival, here is the first of a series of screenings in San Francisco & Bay Area. The Director, Olivier Bonin, will be in attendance for Q&A.
TICKETS: http://dustandillusions.com/blog/san-francisco-screening-feb-11th-2010
ABOUT THE FILM: From a group of friends organizing underground activities in San Francisco in the 70s, Burning Man has become the largest countercultural event in North America. But is it still counter-cultural? Has the larger world caught up with the event and slowly erased the original ideals?
Dust & Illusions, Olivier Bonin’s fascinating documentary takes a privileged glimpse at the history and future of Burning Man, one of the most important (if not the most important) counter-cultural movements of the last 3 decades.
Bonin provides a thoughtful and critical overview of the event’s transformation from a humble guerilla art project on San Francisco’s Baker Beach to a major corporation that funds artists, fosters a year-round virtual community, and builds Black Rock City in the middle of nowhere on a yearly basis. If you’ve never been to the playa, DUST & ILLUSIONS will give you an excellent idea of exactly what you’re missing, and veteran burners will see the direction the event is headed (for better or for worse). Don’t miss it.
TRAILERS, info @ http://dustandillusions.com
