DAGAZ

In each life there comes at least one moment which, if recognized and seized, transforms the course of that life forever. Rely, therefore, on radical trust even though the moment may call for you to leap empty-handed into the void.

Dante

The specifics of this year’s Dante are still in committee, but you are promised a highly interactive hell themed camp guaranteed to be the biggest rip off on the playa!

Happy-go-lucky and especially whacky sailors on the ship of fools cavort and croon through day/night, port to port, anchor in harbor santurary, and back again over THE DEAD SEA, enjoying the journey that melts into a dream.

Department of Built Exceptions

The Black Rock City Department of Built Exceptions (DBE) is a public service agency that conducts random and scheduled building and vehicle inspections, and whose mission it is to promote the creative act of building; with sensitivity to the environment; participation; and ingenuity. Our inspectors give ratings on triplicate forms and are influenced by bribes through an interactive process. You Build It – We Inspect It!

Dragon Alley

What fate awaits those who venture off the edge of the map to There be dragons here? Surely adventures and new experiences are just the beginnings. Dragon Alley welcomes you with a 30 foot long suspended beast hovering above the alley. Mirrored walls on either side reflect participants as well as the bright eyes and innards of the beast. Adventures who dare the alley will be rewarded with two possibilities: a hidden tunnel to a musical chill space, or — if they choose wrong — a scary ride into the red stomach of the beast!
