We did it! It was a little bumpy but technical difficulties in the new age come with the territory. Everyone moved with patience and grace. I had so much fun and am so grateful for the experience.
You can view all three nights on YouTube.
And if you can, please support the Gardens at Lake Merritt where Autumn Lights Festival is normally held.
A huge thank mew to all involved. Purr...

October 15, 2020: Second Rehearsal
Went out to Point San Pablo for another rehearsal for the Autumn Lights Festival. Success!
More power cords. Better lighting. Better phone for extra footage. Blue tooth mic. Yay!
There are three evenings of art, lights, gardens and artists! Check them out and register to join in fun!

Strange times call for creativity! In 2017, I found some mind-blowing inspiration at the Autumn Lights Festival on Lake Merritt in Oakland, CA and went on to create Stardust a few months later. It's just so fricking cool! The lights, the gardens, the people in awe. Magical.
Well, since 2020 is a shit show, folks are figuring out how to do fun things that would normally bring out the masses by going virtual. Burning Man did it! And the Autumn Lights Festival is doing it too - and lucky for me! The Purr Pods will participate from Point San Pablo Harbor where they've been living thanks to We Are From Dust. I've already submitted tons of video of us working on Vega and Luna to get them ready and time-lapses of sunsets and lights tests. Of course, while we were doing the tests, we found out the battery powering the cats is toast so we replaced that. If all goes well, I will going live in front of the sculptures for an artist chat on
Sunday, October 18th during the festival. We did a test run on the 7th and the folks from the Autumn Lights Festival loved the sound of the crickets and little frogs. Hopefully it won't rain! Stay tuned!!
