Reclamation of a Stolen Heart 

by Bronze Holbein and Strength in Numbers Collective

Created by a collection of artists intending to make an artist collective that aims to create a more hospitable environment for creators in the Bay Area of Northern California, we find out just what they want out of an art collective.  With an Honoraria Grant from Burning Man, they are bringing out Reclamation of the Stolen Heart to Black Rock City, 2024.  We learn about how they are working together to make that happen and how they are starting their artist’s collective to build more art in the future together and support each other as artists.

Miss Conception, aka Sara Nicole Glass

Musician, Performer, Volunteer, BWB Burner!

With Kate Robinson from Tenderloin Community Benefit District, San Francisco

Meet MissConception aka Sara Nicole Glass who is an amazing musician, performer, and volunteer for Burners Without Borders. Miss Conception produced a community-empowering event supporting local artists as well as raising funds for Burners Without Borders in late December 2023. Funds were donated to the Tenderloin Community Benefit District, a non profit in San Francisco supporting the families in the Tenderloin.  

Lastly, we talk about her other burner volunteer experiences and how they have enriched her life –  specifically volunteering at unSCruz put on by Santa Cruz Regional burners happening in the south Bay the first weekend of May and the recent Burnal Equinox event on March 9 at Public Works put on by San Francisco Community Events Team. So much to learn from MissConception!  

Burners Without Borders, San Francisco Chapter, is doing some great things to empower the community around the Tenderloin in San Francisco. Joining us is Kate Robinson who talks to us about projects in the Tenderloin for 2024 and how you can get involved. Then talk about how others who are not local to SF can find out about their own community chapters of Burners Without Borders. There’s plenty of philanthropy for burners to get involved in and there are lots of chapters all over the world.  

​​The MISSION of Burners Without Borders:  BWB promotes activities around the globe that support a community’s inherent capacity to thrive by encouraging innovative approaches to disaster relief and grassroots initiatives that make a positive impact.  Please note that Sara is a BWB volunteer and does not represent the entire BWB chapter or program.  The BWB website is intended to be the mouthpiece for this community’s efforts as well as a catalyst for inspiring new ideas.

Dylan Hogan, aka Major Trouble!

DJ and Producer

My guest is Dylan Hogan, aka Major Trouble – The founder of BRC Snow Club, resident DJ for Disco Donutz (Heavy Petting Zoo), and former board member of Airpusher and Sextant Camp.

I talked with him in March, 2024. To introduce him to you, I am using the words of Joel Kristopher, Zookeeper at Heavy Petting Zoo, who recently posted about his friend, Major Trouble:  “Huge! Massive! Epic! Shout out to my brother from another Unicorn, Dylan Hogan, aka Major Trouble for all that he has recently accomplished, with no plans of slowing down. Last year Dylan, with the help of his hottie in crime, Rachael Gingery, created the Black Rock City Snow Club, who brought the 1st Ski, Sled and Snowboard hill to Burning Man. During this same time, he also dove deep into music production, producing 8+ original house bangers to fill his set with at Breakfast of Champions. Keep it up Boo! I’m proud of you”!  (abbreviated)

Camp Kitchen Leads Tell Us Tips

Big or small camps and villages as well as pre-build crew care teams can learn from three kitchen leads sharing their knowledge and experience to make it easier for us all to set up our own kitchens.  

If you have a camp that has a camp kitchen, if you are thinking about setting one up for the first time, if you cook at all on the playa, then this podcast might be for you.  How do the big camps do it?   What’s the best way to freeze things and can I have food delivered to camp on playa?  What about food and safety? All these questions and more are answered by Amber, Kat and Anthony who all have kitchen experience.  Share this podcast on your camp discussion groups!
