A Camp with No Name
The dead horse is scarce, and we continue to beat it. Come by and sit in the desert in A Camp With No Name, where you will be told that buttered popcorn is a perfectly fantastic snow cone flavor – why would you think otherwise? Are you daft? (Don’t worry – there are “normal” flavors galore.) Look for us carting around chai or tidying up the playa with our vacuum cleaner.

Our organizing theme as a village this year is alien abduction and insemination — creating a participatory experience of being abducted out of our mundane human routine into a different dimension and returning inseminated and transformed into creatures of alien light. This is an exploration of the positive and negative experiences of fertility — having new and sometimes alien life force growing inside you.
