Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The Star Hunter “shed” has been cleared out, and its previous owner is ready to part with it. The “shed” is actually a modified pop up camper. The floor is in rough shape, the cloth walls should likely be replaced, but the bones are decent. The one visible wheel is very deflated, and it’s unclear if it will hold air or not (need to test it) .

The site is ready to move on from it. The camper departing will make valuable space for another shed or the rumored Mystwood Shed expansion or perhaps both.

If you’d like to have it (and take it away) it’s yours! If multiple folks are interested priority will be given to whomever can remove it the swiftest. Tell your friends and family 😅

Did you know Burgundar has a Digital Media Intern? Well we do! Check out a review Patrick B. wrote for the Burgundar Chronicle on the new Odyssey. Feel free to comment if you agree or disagree, but obviously, keep it civil!

We’d warn you about spoilers, but… the story is over 3000 years old so….

The Odyssey is a Hollywood spectacle of epic proportions. Director Sir Christopher Nolan walks a tightrope, balancing the realism associated with his filmmaking approach and the fantasy elements of the mythical tale. All the actors gave tremendous performances. The stand-out stars were Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Queen Penelope, Tom Holland as Telemachus, John Leguizamo as Eumaeus, Robert Pattinson as Antinous, Elliot Page as Sinon, and Zendaya as Athena, alongside a cameo from music artist Travis Scott. The use of practical effects and sets especially lent itself to its magic during the siege of Troy and the Cave of the Cyclops Polyphemus. It is where the director’s aptitudes shine through.

However, the scene where Odysseus and his soldiers were trapped by Polyphemus is where Sir Christopher Nolan’s shortcomings as a director appear. Christopher Nolan Spoke briefly about how he intended to implement the gods of the Greek mythological pantheon into the film as these almost figurative and almost metaphorical appearances in the film. In the original tale, before Polyphemus gets his eye gouged out by Odysseus, Odysseus tells him that his name is Nobody, so when Polyphemus was to be asked by the other Cyclopeses, “Who did this to you?” he would tell them that Nobody did it. Eventually, Odysseus' ego gets the best of him, and he reveals his true identity before leaving. This is the catalyst for all of the hindrances. It is revealed that the god of the sea, Poseidon, is the father of Polyphemus and invokes his wrath by raining down a typhoon upon Odysseus and his legion of soldiers. In the film, that scene is absent, alongside Poseidon. Instead, Poseidon is represented as that same typhoon mentioned earlier. Athena only appears as this figure that represents Odysseus’ relationship to his commitment and faith in her as the primary deity he worshipped throughout his journey rather than making a physical appearance.

That is arguably the greatest difference from the film to the tale. There are still some other changes to the film. However, it reigns supreme as one of the greatest films of this year. Everyone from the cast and crew deserves praise for working on this incredible masterpiece of a film. I hereby give this film a rating of 10/10. If you haven’t seen this yet, you are doing yourself a disservice.

Did you know? Bridgeton is home to one of the last drive in theaters in Maine? And they’re showing this fantastic flick currently.

Weekends are fun, especially this time of year when the weather is beautiful and the days are long. We are so grateful to the folks who came out to spend some (or all) of their weekend at Burgundar making the site better for everyone at our two Community Work Days. We accomplished so much!

-Three dump truck loads of material were delivered and spread to restore the surface of the road and construct a turnaround at the pipeline to aid in tragic congestion.

-Progress was made on the yet to be named Bob, Josh, Carrie, and Mike building across from Solomon’s tower (Thanks Greg especially there)

-The Star Hunter “shed” aka pop up camper was cleared out. If you’re interested in a fairly battered pop up camper for free let us know.

-The cooking range inside the Tavern was moved out back and fitted with the right attachments to connect to a standard propane tank. We’re cookin with gas now!

Lunch was generously provided by the Axis LARP, whose next event is coming up this weekend, check em out!

Huge thank you to Axis LARP who is sponsoring lunch for our dedicated (and hungry) volunteers at the upcoming Community Work Days, Saturday and Sunday this weekend. The work days run 10:00am-4:30pm (though Saturday we'll be starting a tad before 8:00am) Many Burgundar Bucks paid to helpers!

The next Axis event is July 31-Aug 2. Check out their amazing website for more details. https://www.axislarp.com/

The island of Eyanua, with its abundant resources and coveted location, welcomes to its shores a new crop of brave residents eager to build on the potential it had promised years ago. Some hope to establish the first multicultural nation, built in collaboration with all species, independent of the government of the mainland. Some hope to keep the Island a lawless playground for pirates and black-marketeers.
