Damn Fucking Texans

The Damn Fucking Texans return to the playa for another year of drinking, embassying, entertaining, and banishing previous perceptions of what Texas is really all about. Texas comes from the native american word Tejas, which means Friendship. Really. Texans, Texans-that-have-moved-away-for-whatever-reasons and don’t live there anymore, non-Texans, and everyone else, please stop by. Home feels good.

Battle to the grinding strains of industrial music and to the cheers of black clad amazons aroused by bloodlust.

DeMaTerial Camp

DeMaTerial Camp will offer a license bureau that rewards visitors with the hyper-realistic experience of sitting at a massive government bureaucracy.

DonutLove

This is you: happy, energized and awaiting opportunity. The sun is setting, the city is howling and it’s time for you to find your groove. Where do you start? DonutLove. It’s a nexus for the sexes, a concourse to your course of contentment, a weigh station on your way to a heavenly state. Get your fix, take your licks and onward you go.

This is you: haggard, weary, run-down and burned out. The sun is rising, the city is quiet and your booty shakes no more. What do you need? DonutLove. Serving you on the street while you rest your tuckered feet. Your morning constitutional, your roadside rest stop, your one-a-day vitamin.

What is DonutLove, you’ll ask yourself, but all you truly need to know is its magic.

Join us under the pagoda to contemplate the unfolding of fashion over time and tell the tale of your own finery. Then wander onward with the addition of augmented ears or eyebrows, a new horn for your headbone, or that sassy, swishy tail you’ve always wished you could wear.
