5. CALLS FOR SUPPORT (Friends in Need)

LAWRENCE FURMAN

Lawrence Furman, a dear friend of my own for over 40 years, is now in the final stages of his return home. He has stopped his cancer treatments and is preparing himself for his departure, which alas, will come soon. He is a wise old soul with a clown streak wide as a river.

When I first came to SF, we started a circus together called Jolly Wally's Wonder Follies. He has lived an incredible life, circus perfomrer, magician, psychic, plumber, builder, heroic lover of life and father to our dear friend, filmmaker Flecher Fleudujon from the Yard Dogs Road Show.

Lawrence's biography includes three near death experiences, all before the age of 20, which he describes in his recently published book, which you can find at the link.

"Memoir of a Slightly Mad Mystic: How Dying Saved My Life"

You can help with his final expenses here...

If you know Lawrence, and would like to attend a gathering in his honor
on July 22nd in Novato, contact me at spoon@anonsalon.com

BLANE LYON

A very bright light in our community is in need of our immediate help. Blane Lyon, a great musical soul and ally in our West Coast family, has been diagnosed with a stage 4 cancerous tumor on his vocal chord. I personally had the great pleasure of having him and his band perform numerous times - truly a soulful guy with a lovely young family who could use some help to get the right treatment to restore his voice and his health.

and we need YOUR help to make this vision come to life!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/31739739/opulent-chill-camp-at-burning-man-2017

Opulent Temple co-Founder Syd Gris and his sister G'Lux have teamed up with other OT members and the newly interested, to create this side project to provide a sanctuary of chill vibes, dance performance, music, gathering & connection in BRC.

The camp was inspired by the chill lounge/ side room at the annual San Francisco version of Opulent Temple Sacred Dance White party in which a beautiful loungey space is created with more chilled out music, and all forms of dance and theatrical performance happening on a stage throughout the night.
