AUdible from Space
2 Announcements for the SF BM community from the Opulent Temple.
1.) If you enjoy what we do and would like to make a contribution, we're putting the call out to anyone that might want to show up and work a little on our projects. Neither require special skills, but if you know how to weld that would be extra valuable! One project is being built in West Oakland, and one in SF. Write syd@opulenttemple.org if you're curious.
2.) This Saturday, June 30th
Opulent Temple presents
'Audible from Space'
This party theme matches the range of our playa sound system this year, as we gather again to raise needed funds to help raise 2 brand new ambitious projects from the loco boyz and girls of the Opulent Temple. We're leaving the house music to our friends at the Deep End that night, for this we're going to hit it harder than usual with more in your face progressive, techno, trance and even some psy to close the night in the main. Upstairs will be kick your booty break beats.
Thanks for your wonderful support so far, we promise you will see the tangible results on the playa. (And our line up this year at BM? It's already full, has something for everyone, and will probably never be topped, not even by us....)

Crucible Fire Arts Festival
The Crucible's 7th Fire Arts Festival is going to be amazing. In addition to the usual exhibition of fire sculpture and interactive fire art, this year's festival will include a theatrical production: The Fire Odyssey, a modernized interpretation of Homer's epic poem.
The show is a blend of industrial fire theatre with ballet, opera, hip hop, aerial dance, and fire performance, with live music provided by Mark Growden and a hand-picked ensemble. Opera singer Aimee Puentes sings the role of Penelope, and Easton Smith, who played Romeo in The Crucible's production of Romeo & Juliet—A Fire Ballet, returns as Odysseus. Mongolian contortionist Byamba Serchmaa plays Circe; members of the renowned hip-hop troupe Flavor Group play Odysseus' men. The acrobatic team of Realis, made up of gold medalists and world champion gymnasts Shenea Booth and Arthur Davis, performs the production's amazing finale.
The stage will include Greek gods, personified as 35-foot-tall welded sculptures created by Dan Das Mann & Karen Cusolito. These giant figures are part of the stage and part of the show. Poseidon, connected to an Oakland Fire Department pumper truck, sends sea storms across the 8,000 gallons of water in the moat that surrounds the stage; Aeolius controls the winds, sending steam-filled gales to bedevil Odysseus and his men; Zeus shoots white hot lightning bolts from his tesla coil, while Athena has fire at her command. The stage is equipped with 2,000 gallons of propane fire effects.
It's going to be an amazing show and it's for a good cause: Proceeds from the Festival support The Crucible's arts education program. The Fire Arts Festival will be on July 11 to July 14, from 8 PM to 12:30 AM at The Crucible's Fire Arts Arena at Kirkham St. and 7th St. in West Oakland. The Fire Odyssey begins each night at 10PM.
You get a $5 discount on tickets if you buy them before July 1. After July 1, tickets for the Fire Arts Festival (and The Fire Odyssey) will be $40 on July 11 & 12 and $45 on July 13 & 14. (For Crucible members, tickets are $30 on July 11 & 12 and $35 on July 13 & 14.) To buy tickets or find out more about the event, visit www.thecrucible.org/fireartsfestival or call 510.444.0919 Monday through Thursday, 10AM to 7PM; Friday, 10AM to 2PM.
The Crucible is also looking for volunteers to help out with the event.
To volunteer, fill out the form at

In the meantime, if you are riding BART past the West Oakland station,
look east and you'll see a thirty-five-foot tall sculpture of Athena,
raising her hands to the sky!
