The Origin of L2K

Legend has it that after the very first burn, not all of the Man's flames died out.   In the fading glow, a handful of men ventured forth and captured the remaining living bits of the Man, trapping them in small, transparent cages.

These brave souls, known today as the Pod People, were saddened, however, for as they trapped each piece of fire, the Man-bit would fade out and glow no more.

So the Pod People approached the Wizard with their dilemma.  And the Wizard found that the Man-bits had not died, as the Pod People feared, but lay merely dormant.

Over time, the Wizard learned to coax these bits of fire to follow his wishes--to light up when desired, to lie dormant otherwise. He instructed the Ringmaster in his methods, and together they were able to control the lights, playing them in complex rhythms, as one might play a musical instrument.

This year we gathered 2000 of these glowing Man-bits and placed them in a never-ending circle to pay tribute to the Man and his never-ending spirit.
