A Tree Grows in Reno

As Burning Man 2008 ended, most of the Iron Monkeys headed north, returning to life here in "reality camp." While we were buying vinegar in bulk and reminding ourselves to wear clothes and not drink before noon, an elite team of Monkeys was dispatched to Reno where they lounged by the pool, stormed the casino at the Peppermill, AND installed one of our trees in a temporary sculpture park located in downtown Reno. The Mangrove - Reno, a nod to the collection of recycled material trees from Burning Man 2007 of the same name, sits on the bank of the Truckee River. Tony, Jannette, Tabasco and Kay - I think I speak for all the Monkeys when I say "hey, thanks for going to Reno." We raise our BRetford-crafted beers to you.
