The stand appears as a gazebo, with shade and seating, designed as a granddaddy lamppost holding 12 lanterns. Upon closer inspection, it is found to be an altar - a stationary home for the Man’s Roaming Brain. It returns yearly for potluck thoughts, noodles, and lemonade.
The Brain, designed to fit in the Man’s head, cruises Black Rock City on a bike trailer, collecting thoughts of participants written on paper and slipped in the slot at the top. It stops back by the temple on occasion to meet and greet and collect thoughts left for it from the altar mail slot. The ritual includes sharing your thoughts with those around you.
The Man, elevated high atop its Pavilion, now becomes an animated participant with its touchable, interactive, radically inclusive Brain, mingling with the people at ground level!
The Brain and its collected thoughts burn with the Man on Saturday night.
