Do not fear, stick around, you’ll find appealing bananas abound. The “yellow zone” is for loading hope and unloading your fears.

Barbarella Bootcamp

The VERY friendly freaks and faeries at Barbarella Bootcamp invite you to our space ship freshly crash-landed in BRC. In our intergalactic travels we have assembled quite a cast of hot lesbos, queers, social activists, contortionists,
recent imigrants, heteros and distracting eye candy to titillate the appetites and vascillations of all known and often outlawed sensual mutations.
Any attempt to categorize our highly individuated members will be met with scorn -but our circus truly does include ‘something for everyone” – whether they consider themselves ready for ‘it’or not. You never know when the party might start – YOU might just provide the necessary spark!

Barbie Death Camp & Wine Bistro

For the eighth consecutive year one of the most anticipated, revered, outrageous, and personable theme camps makes it’s triumphant return to Black Rock City: Barbie Death Camp & Wine Bistro, the friendliest concentration camp on the playa. Nestled within the confines of Wheeeee!Ville BDC&WB will once again be pouring vintage California merlot, zinfindel, and cabernet sauvignon while dismembering one of America’s icons, Barbie. Be sure to drop by and have a glass of wine and feel free to dispose of any of your unwanted Barbies, Kens, and assorted trailer trash. BDC&WB has been written up and featured in The San Francisco Chronicle, Wired magazine, Burning Man TV, the novel "The Man Burns Tonight", "Desert To Dream: 10 Years of Burning Man Photography" by Barbara Traub, CNN, the Houston Chronicle, Washington Post, and The Sacramento Bee. And once again BDC&WB will be hosting one of the playa’s favorite events short of burn night, the annual Eplaya/3playa Meet & Greet. Check the Burning Man calendar for the official listing. Your hosts again this year include Dr. Pyro, Frank the Vintner, Blowfish, Chickenbutt and his lovely wife Renee, Sunsetred, Garcia, Felony Arson, Buster, KJ, Gary, barB, Don, Tots, Shorty, Marta, David, Xander, Joe, Ferd, The Professor, Ron, Sue, Liam, Terry, Carly, and a whole host of characters better left unmentioned. So be sure and drop by our little slice of paradise, and be prepared to be offended by the Barbiebarians, the sickest bastards on the playa.

BDR HQ

We can neither confirm nor deny the existance of this theme camp. BDRs know who they are, and know that they are welcome here. Our motto: “I wasn’t there / It didn’t happen / Next Question”

Bedlam

“Explore your fears and hopes as we determine if you are an ‘Insane Burner’, and if so, administer a variety of imaginative cures including the ElectroBrain Helmet, fabulous concoctions, therapeutic regimes and torturer… I mean hospitality.

who are running free causing disturbances to camps, streets and or persons of
the City. These captured animals will be documented and tagged for scientific
research and easy recognition. Some animals may need to be spayed/neutered or
given shots. Our trained staff will use the latest in animal reform practices
to allow these potentially dangerous animals the chance to be reintroduced to
life on the playa. If our staff concludes that an animal has achieved reformed
status they will be released and may have the opportunity to be adopted by/auctioned to a responsible Black Rock City citizen OR released to the playa in its natural habitat.

Take solace in our shaded Zen retreat, where you can find calming music for meditation, a soothing water fountain and a library of related books for you to browse at your leisure.

Black Rock Temp Agency

Our goal is to promote volunteerism both at BRC and at home. Our main focus will be to faciliate people volunteering at burningman. The Black Rock Temp Agency will have a job board with postings. People may be desired to help other theme camps or to help at Black Rock City. We will interview people, perhaps using a questionare and some evalutaion tools. We will then try and match candidates who are willing to volunteer with places that can use some help. We will also encourage people to continue the spirit of volunteering when they depart from BRC.

Black Rock Travel Agency

The Black Rock Travel Agency (BRTA) has been serving its playa customers in the most untoward ways since 1937. BRTA is one of the oldest institutions at BRC (since 1991) and was instrumental in keeping Helco at bay in 1996 (though some of the details of these black ops have never been–and will never be–revealed). We will tell you about the old days, if you have the time. Otherwise, we will just take you on an airplane trip and try not to give you too much of a thrill. If you catch our drift.

Black Rock University

Fear and Hope…Black Rock University responds to these throughout our curriculum which is based on the Future Studies equation pioneered by Dr. M. Mao in the late 1980s. The symbolic Ivory Tower which stands both literally and figuratively at BRU communicates this idea and its meaning: Hope x Fear = Change – Power + Vacation Time.

The BRU Department of Psychology offers therapeutic mental message and subliminal hope. The Art and Performance Art Departments offers Art Therapy Sessions. The Philosophy Department presents Bliss Studies Workshops in the Think Tank Chill Out Hammock Lounge. The Physics Program gives out snowcones for brain freezing while the Department of Chemistry host a morning coffee exam sans tests. And our Campus Recreation Center includes a Clay Court Tennis Area while everyone fears the incoming balls and hopes for the best. We have a Performance Stage for lectures and improv performance, a Wheel of Hope and Fear that we spin at our afternoon therapy sessions so students and faculty can play and earn grades and Pre-Ride bodypainting.

Further, our University offers a wide variety of fields of learning presented through unqualified but interestingly costumed performers who give away cookie dough and engage others enthusiastically, as if they are from an accredited institution.

Also, there will be cheerleaders. The Fighting Dust Flamingo Cheerleaders to be exact, who will be catting around all week cheering where ever they are not/needed.

Our Scholastic Motto: “Drink, Give Out Cookie Dough and Whatever Else We Want To Do” forms the dictate upon which our Black Rock University exists and thrives. Go BRU!!!

http://www.burningsky.org/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BurningSky/
http://BurningSky.tribe.net/
We originally began working together as the Sky People in December of 2001.
Our theme is twofold: bringing a third dimension to the art of Black Rock City, and living out the ancient awe of beings in the sky that finds expression in virtually every human culture.
To achieve this vision we are developing objects that will bring color and depth to the sky, planning jumps and ground installations that will allow BRC citizens to experience the aerial view of the city either in person or vicariously, creating costumes and camp art that reflect humanity’s timeless love affair with the heavens and offering ‘observation rides’ to those who wish to join us in sky over the playa.

Burntown’s promise or warning: Expect it when you least expect it.

Burntown is an eclectic, eccentric, yet somehow concentric collection of individuals from the foothills of Northern California. The core are longtime friends from the town of Auburn; hence the ‘burn’ in Burntown. Some are contractors, school teachers, doctors and healers, and all have their own special creative element they bring to the table.

Our camp on the playa is the culmination, if you will, of preparation, practice and community gatherings that take place year-round. Burntown is not something brought together merely for seven days on the playa. Burntown is a way of life.

Come and experience Burntown for yourself. Our black-free-market (who knows what that means?) economy, interactive art, creative environment and welcoming atmosphere. Bring yourself and contribute, participate and add to the mix.
