THE PATIO MIDWAY
KRANK-BOOM-CLANK — Kinetic Conveyances of Whimsy
Krank-Boom-Clank (K-B-C) is a kinetic industrial arts collective located in Santa Rosa, CA, consisting of:
• David Farish • Skye Barnett • Clifford Hill
They build “kinetic conveyances of whimsy” and other mutant ride-able sculptures of bemusement and delight (a.k.a.“Freak-Bikes”).
“Hennepin Crawler”
The “Hennepin Crawler” was recently completed in time for Burning Man 2008 and The Great Handcar Regatta 2008 ( handcarregatta.
com ). The Crawler is comprised largely of discarded lawn furniture, VW Bug parts, and old bikes among other bits too numerous to
mention. It represents a desire to meld alternative transportation innovation, human-powered kinetic sculpture, recycling of
disparate pieces of functional garbage, and the prankster's notion of absurdity and bewilderment on an unsuspecting public.
Todd Barricklow's "Two Penny" contraption will also be on display!

THE TRAVELING WONDERS OF THE BOILER BAR
In a project that would make Franz Kafka grin, a 40-year-old bug has metamorphosed into a snail. The resulting creation, an art car called The Golden Mean, is a golden gastropod that glows in the dark and shoots rings of fire from its feelers. It also seats six comfortably. Blacksmith Jon Sarriugarte, who fabricates custom home furnishings, worked with his wife, Kyrsten Mate, to transform a 1966 VW Bug into the rolling piece of art.
Also look out for other amazing inventions on display from this multi talented blacksmith!

AND ON THE INSIDE MAIN STAGE......
SHOVELMAN
He plays a shovel!!
"Shovelman's music would be playing on the radio if Tom Waits and Les Claypool ever went on a road trip together ......and were lost." - Chip, 'So Wat TV
"The results are in and the decision is final. If ever I'm looking for a lead shovel, or if anyone is for that matter, Shovelman is the first and only logical choice." -Klaus Flouride, The Dead Kennedys
"Bottom line, oddity or not, Shovelman is just the kind of off-kilter kick in the pants modern music might need to keep things interesting. Who knows? Maybe he’ll inspire some of us to put down our high tech gadgetry and start looking at low-tech objects with a new sense of purpose." - Melissa Tan, The Rumpus.net
