In 2006, the Mad Scientists wanted to replace the aging L2K ring with a new, more durable one made of polycarbonate tubes and heavy duty materials. We presented a mock up of one of these new “bumps” to Larry and Crimson at the Burning Man headquarters, and our leader Tim Black gave Larry a hammer. I remember watching Larry trying to destroy the bump sitting on the conference room table in front of him with gusto and a devilish look in his eye. Then he stopped, and he smiled as he gave his blessing for us to move forward with L3K, which is still in use today as the Man burn perimeter.
