David Silverman: So That's How That Started

Burning Man doesn't make itself. The people who share their time
and treasure, they create this weird wonder. Each of these people
have stories about how Burning Man influenced their lives and how
their lives influenced Burning Man. 


The Flaming Tuba Guy is one of these people. His name is David
Silverman aka Tubatron. Andie Grace talked with him about how his
animation career started, how his musical career started, how the
Mansonian Institute started, how his career with The Simpsons
started, and how that influenced his involvement with Burning Man
and vice versa. He also volunteers at BRC with the DPW at the Man
Pavilion. 


They recorded this at Burning Man and you can hear in their
voices the phonic patina of the playa.
