LightWalker is born!

I started playing with stilts last summer in prep for Burning Man 2012. In the last nine months or so I've had a fantastic time dancing with The Samba Stilt Circus, wondering around in a kilt on stilts (Kilts & Stilts!), and generally just being a circus monkey as much as possible.

As the new year rolled around and Burning Man released this year's theme, The Cargo Cult, I started thinking about creating some kind of tall, four-legged stilt monster costume to go with that them. I also wanted it to be a night time thing. That requires lights. When I started thinking about lights, I went straight to wanting to make the lights interact with my walking. Eventually this led to me scrapping the alien monster idea and going straight to a huge light display four legged stilt costume.

And so, LightWalker was born!

I've already started in on a lot of it and have some cool stuff to show. I will post most everything here and catch the blog up soon!
