Please join us at the BoxShop for a fine afternoon of LED strips,
soldering, metal dust and beer. We are going to be stripping LED
weatherproof stripping and soldering over 1700 ft of LED strip
lighting and 220 connectors to make the Aurora's LED branches come to
life.

Aurora is a 30" weeping willow LED funded art piece for Burning Man.
See http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/aurora/aurora-the-willow

What we are looking for are people that can help cut & prep LED strips
and expert solderers who can help us take this humungous soldering job
and turn it into an afternoon of fun soldering. We will provide all
the tools, but if you have your own iron and third hand holder, feel
free to bring it along.

Once the LED strips are prepped, connectors soldered and heat-shrinked
on, the components will be 25' in the air. We are using weatherproof
LED strips, Molex connectors and heat shrink: we have LED testers and
great supervisors to help guide you.

Thank you for listening, and consider coming and meeting the aurora crew.

If you are coming, please RSVP to mizpoon at gmail.com.

Feel free to send this email on to other people.
