wakefloodParticipantSo, wanted to post that the entity that makes BM happen has recreated itself as a year-round non-profit that will sponsor other local events.
Sounds like their goal is to expand the communal experience to a wider audience who can’t necessarily make the annual trek.
I enjoy anything that expands our perception of what is “normal” or acceptable within the societal boundaries. Unfettered self expression has a incalculable impact on how a society perceives itself and the resulting disorienting effect I think is a good thing.
We’ve seen fit in this country to allow such a narrow breadth of expression to become the norm.
A little choas is a good thing, now and again, yes?
(Insert “Keep Vashon Weird” reference here.)
Anyone with Burning Man or similar experiences they’d like to share?

PangolinPieParticipantI’m interested in anything they do; do you have a link, more details…anything? I’ve never been to Burning Man (yet!) but I’d bet they arrange some pretty cool stuff here!

wakefloodParticipantHere’s a link to their announcement page. There’s lots other stuff on their site to check out as well.

charlabobParticipantThanks, WF! I went to early (primitive?) Burning Men) but haven’t gone since it became larger and I became less mobile. Can’t wait to participate again!

Seattle TrashMemberBurner here! Excited to see the expansion of the community. I don’t see myself NOT going every year as of now, but I assume that will eventually change so it’s great to see this. Bringing home out of BRC :-)
