Paul Addis is facing Felony charges for allegedly burning The Man early.

All proceeds from this auction will go towards Paul Addis's plane ticket from Seattle to Reno for his court appearance on September 25th.

I am offering these items for auction with Paul's consent. I will answer questions about the items. I will NOT answer any questions about Paul's actions on the Playa.

He is facing Felony charges in Nevada for Arson. He is accused of burning The Man at Burning Man early. The Man was ignited during the dark of the Lunar Eclipse early Tuesday morning, 3:37AM to be exact.

I am not making any statements regarding Paul's Guilt or Innocence. I am just raising money. If there is more, it will go to paying back the OTHER two bail sums that have stacked up in the past week.

What ?? Two more arrests?

Actually, Paul has been arrested 3 times in the past four days. The charge of the first of these was "Terrorist Threat." The date was September 11th.

Two hours after he returned to his apartment, the police showed up and arrested him again.

Saturday September 14th, while on his motorcycle a block away from his apartment, he was taken into custody *again* ... no charges were brought, but he was questioned by a Psychiatrist before he was released.

When he finally made it home the following evening, it was to the horror of finding that his apartment has been ransacked, under a search warrant, by the police. Items like framed photographs showing Paul performing had been removed. The place was tossed.

Is Paul being harassed?

I don't know if these 3 incarcerations have anything to do with the Arson charge in Nevada. I do know that bail money from friends is totallling almost $6000. and time lost from auditions, and work related to his livelihood, have cost Paul more than financial deficits.

I also know that Paul is a patriotic American. He is not a Terrorist. Being unique, artistic, dramatic, eloquent and outspoken should be celebrated, not persecuted.

Paul Addis is a brilliant playwright, and a seasoned performance artist. He is currently touring "Gonzo: A Brutal Chrysalis" in Seattle through October 12th, to be followed by a run in Los Angeles.
