BLACK ROCK CITY, Nevada (June 20, 2005) -- From the
dust of playa papers past comes the Black Rock Beacon,
a new daily publication for the Burning Man community.
Our gift is an independent source of news and
information to brighten the week in Black Rock City
and a website to keep people up-to-date on Burning Man
happenings the year round.
Although we are a brand-new publication without
official ties to the Burning Man organization, our
team has years of experience in producing daily
newspapers on the Playa. As you may know, the Burning
Man organization has announced that it will cease
publication of the daily editions of the Black Rock
Gazette, but we're betting that Burners still want to
be informed and entertained by Black Rock City
Burnalists.
For 2005, we are planning five daily issues brimming
with news and views for Black Rock City.
To learn more about us, please visit our website at
www.blackrockbeacon.org and our message board at
theblackrockbeacon.tribe.net. We welcome volunteers
who want to help us create the most memorable
publications ever to grace Black Rock City. Enthusiasm
is more important than experience, and we have plenty
of pre-Playa work to do. We'll be a mapped camp as
well, with our own Black Rock mansion as headquarters
and a limited amount of space is still available.
Do we need financial aid? Glad you asked, of course we
do! Donate what you can, every bit helps; if you can
offer $5 or more, we'll guarantee that you receive
five daily issues, which you'll be able to pick up at
our camp. Those donating $20 or more will be entered
into our Breakfast in Bed With a Playa Hottie raffle.
Donations are tax-deductible in the United States.
Sit back in the morning watching the sun rise with
your cup of coffee and the latest copy of the Black
Rock Beacon knowing it was YOU that helped make it
happen!
