Paul Addis Returns To The San Francisco Stage In The Premier of "Dystopian Veneer"

Paul Addis

It's been a pretty active week in the Burning Man community (drink!). With stories about Danger Ranger's accident, Mark Pincus Zynga/Tribe scandal and my involvement with the Mad Mad May Day Burner Bazaar event), somehow THEE story of the weekend almost got buried so I'm here to recover it.

After serving almost two years in Nevada State prison for destruction of property charges when he torched the Burning Man effigy in 2007, Paul Addis returned to the stage last Friday, 30 April 2010 debuting his new solo show, "Dystopian Veneer" at The Dark Room in San Francisco.

For those of you who missed it, a second show is set for 7 May and you can purchase your tickets here.

While Addis was not inclined to clear up the "cloud of disinformation" surrounding him in this short clip (presumably he was referring to the notoriety he received for the crime for which he served time) he did sit down and give a three hour interview with Steve Jones of the San Francisco Bay Guardian which was published earlier this week.

In this interview Addis tells what happened that fateful night of 28 August 2007 in Black Rock City. As always, the comments on this article are worthy of a read as well.

If anybody has saw the premier of Addis' show I'd love to hear your review. Leave a comment below or contact me at burncast/@/gmail.
