Greetings from the Café Work Party!

Dear Friends and Family,
The next crafts party was held near the end of June. We needed to finish the lanterns from the previous party. Also on the list was making can lamps for the work lights in the coffee shop. John Kelly AKA Kelly AKA Apollo AKA the Café Lighting Manager was on hand with his golden hammer.

Everyone rocked on the lanterns, so we even made some progress on turnbuckle covers. Don't worry if you don't know what a turnbuckle is, let alone a turnbuckle cover. A turnbuckle is a rigging device used to attach the Café cables to the ground anchors. The turnbuckle can be adjusted to loosen or tighten the rigging in case of high winds, which reduces the stress on the structure. The covers are going to look like island vegetation and the challenge is that the turnbuckles still have to be easily accessible for quick adjustments.

You learn all kinds of things working on a Burning Man project!
