Pants Camp! - aka Society of Pants

Pants Camp! aka The Society of Pants – we look forward to a future filled with hope and pants.

Picasso Camp

pinhole

The pinhole camp builds and operates a walk-in pinhole darkroom. Burning Man participants can take out one of our portable pinhole barrel cameras and photograph the art on the playa in a new and unique way. They then return to our camp to have these photographs developed, creating beautiful art of their own.

PISS CLEAR newspaper offices

PISS CLEAR is Black Rock City’s favorite alternative newspaper. Since 1995, PISS CLEAR has provided an independent voice on the playa, and now has a circulation of 10,000 per issue. We have never received one bit of funding from Burning Man, which affords us the luxury to be free from censorship and to tell it like it is – and to do so in a way that both entertains and informs the citizens of Black Rock City! PISS CLEAR got its unusual name from the Black Rock Desert’s #1 survival tip: “drink enough water so that you piss clear.” Over the years, it has evolved into Burning Man’s snarky reality check, chock full of witty articles, acerbic rants, thoughtful commentaries, and funny lists.

Planchette Camp

Come to Planchette Camp and divine your way to the future. Ride the jiangbi on a life sized Ouija board to divine an answer about the fate of our future and record your message in the Book of Fuluan for others to share.

Playa Book of Records

Playa World Records™ is Black Rock City’s foremost authority on collecting, confirming and accrediting records set and broken on the playa. Any and all are welcome to visit us at our Playa World Record Headquarters™ and make an attempt at earning entry into what will undoubtedly become Burning Man’s most prestigious community.

From largest mutant vehicle to most pairs of underpants worn at one time, the Playa World Records™ Executive Committee is open to any and all submissions. Every application will be considered for entry into our archive. Records established last year in such categories as “Most Flexible Couple” and “Longest Urination” also remain open for challenges.

The Playa World Record Headquarters™ will be open daily Noon to 4pm to witness and verify Record attempts. The Executive Committee is sworn to complete impartiality and promises to maintain a commitment to integrity and truth.

PlayA Game Camp

PlayA Game Camp will be home to an 8’x 8′ Man-opoly board game based on Black Rock City. We will also feature a life-size version of Candyland, where you can be your own gingerbread man. Or you can play our home-made Twista game, sometimes called Left Foot Blue, which puts a twist on a classic party game.

Stop by our camp to see what time the next organized game starts, or just hang out and play some cards, board games, or start a pick up game of Freeze Tag, Red Light/Green Light or Kick the Can. We encourage individuals, pairs, and groups of game-loving folks to come and play with us, and each other. So, ‘Red Rover, Red Rover, send your best playaz over!’

The FUTURE outcome of any game is riddled with the HOPES and FEARS of its playaz, so fear the worst, hope for the best, but have fun while you play the games. Let the games begin!!
