Erowid Announcement #92
Aug 25, 2008
Friends of Erowid,

For only the second time in 14 years, we've decided not to attend Burning Man. In years past, we've brought a small library of information resources and enjoyed a steady stream of playa dust- spangled visitors to the Erowid dome, but this year we're taking a break.

Two Erowid Center fundraising events held in San Francisco (June) and Seattle (July) celebrated the public launch of the new non-profit. Between the two events we more than $40,000 and connected with many Erowid supporters and volunteers whom we mostly interact with online. Many thanks to all who contributed in the myriad ways that helped made these evenings successful.

We welcome submissions, suggestions, criticisms, or corrections at submissions@erowid.org.

peace,
fire & earth
