Spark: A Burning Man Story Page #2

that I needed people who were

just tenacious lunatics.

Katy was one of the many

miracle people who showed up.

And worked, just full-on,

10 hours a day, 7 days a week.

[sparks buzzing]

[BOYNTON]:
When I was coming

back from Burning Man,

I had this

vision in my head.

I had this idea of this

heart that had been

exploded and pieced

back together.

There's so many things that

break our hearts.

And that's what we do.

We pick up the pieces

and we put them back together

and we keep going.

I want to take large

pieces of sheet metal

that will lay over top of it

and be welded together,

riveted together.

In my head it's going to be

about 12 feet tall.

So, that's it.

OTTO:
How's it going, Avis?

It is going very well, sir, we're

getting a lot of work done.

Okay. Are you helping

with the muralists?

Or are you out

painting out there?

Right now, sir, I'm just

trying to locate a cigarette.

Here's a cigarette.

[OTTO VON DANGER]:

I'm a veteran.

I've put my life on the

line many times

for people of this nation

and I really hate seeing it go

down the toilet

like it is right now.

Wall Street has affected a lot

of people in a lot of ways.

And I figured,

if I'm going to do this,

I'm going to do it right

and I'm going to do it big.

Burning Man is a great venue

to build giant stuff

and blow it up.

[VON DANGER]:

There's five buildings involved.

They range from 50 feet tall

to 72 feet tall,

so it's a huge piece.

Think about building a block in

downtown in a major city,

that's basically what we're

doing out of wood.

So this is the bull, this is going

to go in the middle of Tecate Park,

Tecate Park is the... is in the

center of Burn Wall Street

surrounded by its four banks and

the New York Stock Exchange.

And then up here, we're going to

have two big glowing red eyes

so at night, again, he'll have

his big demon eyes glowing and,

you know, to show the evil

that is Wall Street.

[VON DANGER]:
To me, it's more a

representation of, uh, to the powers that be

of this is what happens to you

if you don't fix things.

When the riots start, everyone

will go down to Wall... Wall Street

When you don't know how to

feed your kids, what do you do?

Go kill the rich people

and take all their stuff.

I'm a Marine.

I swear to defend the Constitution against

all enemies foreign and domestic, there uh,

Congressmen and Senators and

President.

These will be capped,

and you can see the ones that are

completed over there that are capped.

I'm not a Kool-Aid drinker,

I don't believe in everything

Burning Man says is the word of...

of the almighty

or whatever like that.

Like, I don't think you should

radically include the hippie
