Resonance Build Meeting
The last remote build meeting before the team works in person. Ed walked the full assembly sequence for the tower, and the single biggest open item going in, how to get the net and steel ring up, got resolved live: build with the bamboo ring only, add the black asper structural poles, then lift the steel ring with the net already attached over the bamboo ring and lay it down. Long poles before short poles, because the structure is only stable once poles run both ways. Elliot also polled the group and decided against unloading the shipping container this weekend, taking out only the lantern boxes and a few sample poles for Ed to check for cracking, with the bulk unload moving to the following weekend. Steve brought playa experience that reshaped several details, from keeping the heavy equipment crew happy by being ready when they are called, to separating the bike barrier from the sensor ring so parked bikes cannot blind the lasers. Two things did not resolve: where the shade sails ratchet without cracking bamboo, and whether the team drives in overnight on the 21st or arrives fresh at dawn.

Resonance team meeting: full build, logistics, lighting and camp walkthrough
The whole team walked the Resonance Tree plan end to end: Nevada City pre-build from late July, Michelle leading container transport from Oakland to Playa, Ben closing lighting assembly protocols, Charlie building the webs with Ed detailing structure, five first burners paired with veteran mentors, and a roughly 100000 dollar budget with the bamboo carbon story front and center.
