Kama’aina have no better home on the playa than at the Ka Pilina camp, the official Hawaii Regional embassy.

KAIROS
You stand poised at a tipping point. A charged instant propels you through the portal of change. Action follows a flash of insight. A moment of truth moves you to seize the opportunity. You swing on the hinge of Fate, moving beyond the point of no return. You drive, with the force of clarity, into the Future.
Since the age of Socrates, Man has called that climactic, defining moment “KAIROS”
We provide the Big Bar forum, the audience, the Stage, the Pole, the inspiration, and the tools for you to achieve KAIROS. You jump on!.
Our doctors and nurses will help you into the proper state. Dance. Drink. Speak. Bare your mind and your body. Post your Hopes and Fears, dreams and fantasies on our walls. Acknowledge your “biggest dreams” then start to realize them. Our photographers will ensure that a small piece of you stays in this moment.
Return to this moment and to our camp during your time in this desert. Exalt with us in change as together we experience KAIROS.
Hometown: la jolla, caKamp Go Fuck Yourself
Unicorns. Friendship bracelets. Butterflies. Pinky swears. French Poodles. OMG BFF!!!
No! Go fuck yourself!
We are not your psychiatrist. We have no cheese for your whine. We don’t care about your politics. We are here to create art wherever we go. Stop by, we won’t kick you off our couches (unless they are needed for copulation), but don’t be surprised if you run into us in the wild; we are EVERYWHERE!
And if you see us, greet us with a hearty “Go Fuck Yourself!”
Hometown: BELLEVUE, WAKamp Kammaniwannalaya
Kamp Kammaniwannalaya is an closely knit group of eclectic artists, perverts, musicians, drug abusers, self abusers, and recovering recoverers. During the week of Burning Man we build and maintain a safe refuge where tackiness is not only tolerated but applauded and praised. Political correctness, simple common human dignity and voting rights are mocked and discouraged. World class Mai Tai’s poured by Spanky and floral lai’s are offered on Friday nite to ask for forgiveness for our wickedness. Competitive Limbo competitions are rumored to be slated for ESPN. Smore Whore will be making a triumphant return to the Playa and supplying her hot fresh Smores. Free form Island drumming is a staple diet and public humiliation will be found at the Limbo Queen’ feet. Juicy Yum Yum is said to be returning if enough eye glitter can be found.

Bubbling up from the NYC underground, Kostume Kult is an artistic party crew like none other. Inside the costume dome we offer up costuming and body art while sweet DJ’s massage the vibe in our chill lounge/performance area. Early in the week we seek to trade but, by the burn, everything must go! During the days, our dome is open to all and, by night, the Kostume Kultists parade the playa in style! Themed “Carousel”, this year we embrace hope, ascension and a sci-future aesthetic. Our Thursday/midnight costume party is always insane and there will be fashion shows, hooping lessons and random theatrics going on all week. Please stop by if you love costuming and comfortable vibes. You are one of us 🙂

Ku De Ta is built on the shifting desert sands between hope and fear. Revolution takes many forms. And this one, this is ours. It’s our time to rise up, impact our community, to make our stand. We’re a fortified rebel compound comprised of refugees from Opulent Temple, Space Cowboys, Disorient, Flaming Lotus Girls, Burners Without Borders/Camp Katrina, and Gigsville. And we’re coming at ya, loud, proud, unafraid. Are you ready? Better yet, are you worthy? Are you!?!?
Approach our gates and find out. Maybe – just maybe – you’ll join the rebellion and reap the rewards: ambrosia and honey, manna from the heavens, all rolling together as one. That is, IF you are allowed to enter. Do you have what it takes? Can you see with the right kind of eyes and glimpse the new dawn, just beyond the horizon? Does glory await you? Are you one of us?
Because we see what’s going down and we’re ready. Without eternal vigilance, it can happen here. Power to the freaky people!
