The Dynamite Show follows a group of "Fools" being invited to audition to a Hollywood talent competition. A spoof on reality TV and partially based in reality, The Dynamite Show questions the social shame inherent in these competitions and attempts at reclaiming a celebration of thinking outside the box.

This “wildly unique” (NBC) song and dance extravaganza best described as Fame meets The Muppets will feature live neo-vaudevillian brass band tunes with “jaw-dropping dance numbers” (7x7 Magazine) and slapstick antics, not to mentions a panel of celebrity judges. From Tango to Oingo Boingo, Silent Movies to Air Guitars, Fosse to Dolly Parton, this hilarious and truly entertaining Dynamite Show is not to be missed!

9. BURNING MAN '09 Recap

It was a necessary year out there.. for me and for a lot of folks obviously.

The "default" world daily seems ever more the "FAIL" world.

Perhaps that is the way that the story must unfold..
BUT in the face of that, there's nothing to keep us from busting our asses
in joyful effort to craft viable and better alternatives.

So much incredible good work is being done by the PEOPLE. A lot was demonstrated this year
@ BM but also throughout the year everywhere and in so many incredible and humbling ways.

The "work" is now to reach the larger world with the transformative and
creative light of our being & love - this inner light of a thousand suns!
It's Bhagavad-Gita time, kids.. as Neil Girling's photo nicely illustrates.

The peaceful silence of 30,000 people at the Temple Burn on Sunday was "religious,"
irrespective of what you believe or don't believe. In fact, it matters not so much what
you believe, as how you behave. It's in how you treat yourself, the world and other
people that your truth is revealed.

So, let's get busy and make this year "work" - for all the best reasons and in all the best ways.
