I’ve struggled to begin writing this. Simply because it is a memorial for a man who defies description. Andrej Kucher is mystery wrapped in enigma despite his unparalleled extroversion. He means a lot, in a lot of different ways, to a lot of different people. In a departure befitting a wild man in an outlaw country ballad, our dear friend was innocently shot and killed outside his favorite bar in Reno, November 2nd 2024.

So we, a handful of friends and volunteers of The Black Rock City Department of Public Works, in honor to him, and his years of haphazard leadership of the Black Rock Community Transit - Yellow Bike Project, are building this effigy, because we never had a choice.

These three dice, aside from being a direct reference to how we would spend our time during the build season, stand for chances we take, the odds and outcomes in a world of chaos. Success and failure, joy and frustration.

Now, what’s that got to do with the price of eggs in Baltimore? Not much... But it has everything to do with the cost of lumber in Reno, building and burning a structure in Black Rock City.

So we’re asking for your help in creating this catharsis, an ephemeral monument to Andrej, and all our dearly departed. To fun and games, to the absurd, and to solemnity, to rock and roll, and to black rock city.
