Dr. Toast’s Amazing World of Toast

Saturday, July 5th, 2008 - False Profit, LLC’s annual Life Quality Enhancement product, Priceless, was scheduled for release in Belden this coming weekend but has been recalled due to uncontained pre-apocalyptic wildfire. Insiders at the company are reporting that Priceless is now set for release later this summer. In response, False Profit’s Research and Development Brigade worked frantically for two days to develop a replacement product. False Profit’s first response to the statewide catastrophe, called EVAC!, is set to be unveiled at a warehouse location in San Francisco on Saturday, July 5th, 2008.

Friday, July 25 through Sunday, July 27 - Dr. Toast plays a special set by the pond on Friday night at the 12th annual Friends and Family campout in Mendocino County, CA. Comfy chill space, firelight and more. Camp & Sons is a beautiful retreat, complete with a communal kitchen, a pond, orchards, three hot tubs (two of which are wood-fired), a well-maintained lawn area for lounging, beautiful gardens, outdoor showers, and much more. Hope to see you there!

For the July 4th weekend, come join Dr. Toast on the beautiful Feather River in Belden, CA for the 3rd annual Priceless campout. Dr. Toast will be joined by such musical luminaries as Chris de Luca vs Phon.o, Tom Burbank, Vibesquad, Deru, and many others.

My thanks to Melvin Priester for hosting this listening party for my new music! Melvin says:

“A good number of my favorite Burning Man stories now start like this, ‘I was hanging out in our dome and then Dr. Toast started playing…’ Simply put, lying on fuzzy gymmats, listening to Dr. Toast play live, watching cool visuals on a tricked out system is one of my favorite things in the world. So, in celebration of Dr. Toast’s forthcoming new CD, The Wave Function, and also my impending departure for Europe and South America (leaving SF for A WHILE March 12), we will be recreating that set-up, sans dust, on March 6 from 8:30 to 11 p.m. @ the amazing loft of the man who has provided both the cush and the sound behind so many of my favorite burning man experiences.”
