So That’s How That Started With David Silverman

Burning Man doesn’t make itself. The people who share their time and treasure, they create this weird wonder. Each of these people have stories about how Burning Man influenced their lives and how their lives influenced Burning Man.
The Flaming Tuba Guy is one of these people. His name is David Silverman aka Tubatron. Andie Grace talked with him about how his animation career started, how his musical career started, how the Mansonian Institute started, how his career with The Simpsons started, and how that influenced his involvement with Burning Man and vice versa. He also volunteers at BRC with the DPW at the Man Pavilion.
They recorded this at Burning Man and you can hear in their voices the phonic patina of the playa.

I and a friend were walking around the country in 81; 82 and on a hwy in the middle of the night we came up on a scarecrow about 14ft tall and lit it on fire to stay warm, A blue station wagon pulled up and decided to camp with us and by morning 7 or 8 people were making pacts to return the following yr. I never returned but clearly they did. Thats how that got started. Peace!!
