Here come the brides: Dozens parade in wedding dresses at Burning Man
– Thunderous blasts of fireworks kicked off the destruction of the proverbial Burning Man Saturday night as residents of this temporary city in the desert cheered.
The alleged saboteurs reportedly pulled and cut electric lines, stole people’s personal belongings, glued trailer doors shut, and flooded the camp with 200 gallons of water, according to a related Facebook page fb . “Does this qualify as a non-welcoming camp with no contribution to Burning Man?” the post said.
Regardless of what some might feel, actions like this are selfish and even lower than the ones by such camps that are receiving backlash – there are surely more ways to come to a peaceful compromise rather than attempting to destroy a part of Burning Man altogether.
But they defended their members-only status, saying they offered “one of the most state of the art stages on the playa” and embraced revellers that weren’t part of their group with “open hearts and enormous love”. Artists this year include Jamie Jones, Behrouz, Bedouin, and of course Hernan Cattaneo for one of his famed sunrise sets.
As the Reno Gazette-Journal reports, “Hired help assists the camp in the concert productions and the corral of RVs that surround a catered cafeteria and lounge space”.
Burning Man has made an effort to regulate plug-n-play camps on the playa at the request of many Burners, who believe the camps run counter to the principal of “radical self-reliance”.
But no doubt they also went to Burning Man to show off their latest fashion choices – the clothes, the lack of clothes, the accessories, the hairstyles, the everything. This jet has been reborn as an art and music venue, taking Burning Man attendees on the ride of their lives as it’s towed around the playa.
A second top-rated reply, while it criticised the raid, attacked White Ocean for its “privilege”.
As one Burner, Tony Wichowski, tells the UK Telegraph, “And so the revolution has begun”.
Sheriff Jerry Allen of the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office, which helps patrol Burning Man, told Gizmodo by phone that his office was now investigating claims of vandalism at the camp.
“It is unbelievable that there are angry people here”.
