    It's almost time to kickoff the 2012 Burn season with good drinks, good food, and good Burner company at Johnny's Tavern in Overland Park, Kansas.

    The InterFuse Kickoff has become a Midwest Burners tradition - a yearly party where we kick around new InterFuse ideas and improvements, hash out art concepts, discuss the campgrounds, plan theme camps, discuss camping arrangements, suggest main effigy concepts, brainstorm the event theme, and meet new friends. If it's about InterFuse, it's fair game.

    The Kickoff is always very informal and all adult Burners and their friends are invited (Johnny's is a bar and the legal drinking age is 21). Johnny's Tavern has a full food menu, two full bars, and plenty of parking. The entire back bar / dining area has been reserved because we always fill the place with loud, thirsty Burners.

    Burner dress and costume is invited (but must be legal in the default world). This will be a good time to test drive that fiberoptic tu-tu outfit.

    Remember to bring pen and paper! At some point during the evening you're going to want to make a note, or write down a web address, or give someone your email address, or sketch your new campsite, or draw a map, or be inspiring.

    Special Note: The bar owner has apologized extensively for last year's double booking mistake (where we had to wait for the end of a KU game to get the space we reserved months in advance). He's promised clear sailing this time around.
