Ongoing Events

Looking to join the Crow’s Nest Collective as an initiate for the 2024 Season? Stop by and let’s see how we can help you love your burn. Have an event or project idea, lets hear it! We’re looking for a photographer, muscle, radio jockeys and conspicuous characters. We’ll be attending 5+ regionals and if the gods are merciful, maybe some of us will even make it to the big burn.

Have a complaint? email upperdutchblumpkin@babybird.com and tell ’em LePrix wants her spatula back.

Stop by anytime to help yourself to the comfort and aroma of French press Colombian coffee, or decaf or hot cocoa. Available condiments include both dairy and non-dairy options.

The world is filled with problematic affairs and we know you all have complaints. Bring them to the Bureau of Problematic Affairs- with an office located at Shut Up Coffee camp and spontaneously roaming.

We are a group of very bureaucratic professionals who will do the absolute MOST with your dissatisfaction. We maintain the critical database of burners wronged with the vigilance and competency of any oversight committee. Know that we take your complaints and ourselves VERY seriously.

Complaints, all minor and major irritations

Hot and cold running chai on tap throughout the burn or until we run out.

Olá, I’m Elijah 3WO, a DJ from Brazil that has been collecting samples and songs from all over the world for a couple decades to curate an unique intersection between the root of our tribal culture. I will be playing whenever feel like on the deadly moppets lounge, come chill, listen some weird tunes, have fun, and more. Drop me a song you love if you feel like it, it’d be an awesome gift.

Late night fire circle at Dirt Go Brrr

When it comes to creating the Hitchhiker’s Guide, Internet clip art and AI generation work for filling white space in a pinch, but wouldn’t you rather see doodles, scribbles, and maybe even something nicer created by our community? Swing by Parks&Rec any time there isn’t something else going on, and make some doodles we can use in future HHGs and the web page. Self-serve – look for a bin labelled “Doodles for HHG”. It will contain materials and instructions.

If putting together puzzles happens to be your thing, then stop by our campsite, there’s nothing you must bring. Multiple puzzles will be provided and once each is complete we will glue them down together to show our great feat.

Willingness to work on puzzle completion

Buckets will be placed around the Known Universe for collection of your food scraps for composting. Banana peels, egg shells, coffee grounds, etc are great! Please no meat or dairy. Stop by Camp Sunflower in RV camping to learn more.

Food scraps, no meat or dairy

Help us fill our donation bin with non-perishable food, toys, treats that we will be given to shelters in need within the Baltimore/Washington area (our storage container is 22x12x14″). Please only bring things that will fit inside our bin! If the bin is full you can still leave your donations, we’ll make it work . . . somehow. After all it’s for a good cause, and even us Fortune 500’s need a tax break!

Imagine the pillow forts you made as a kid… and now picture that, except way bigger, and with cozy warm blankets! The Electric Blanket Pillow Fort is the premiere place to warm your chilly bones, and just hang out – open 24/7. Blankets will be nice and toasty during the night and the cooler hours of the day. Look for the really big canvas tent!

Approach your friendly neighborhood pan-bear and you may be granted a short, profound, therapeutic cupping or bodywork healing session. Return to your adventures fae-touched, lighter, and with a mysterious gleam in your eye.

I require in return something shiny, something bitter or something sweet. ✨

A mere pittance or trinket; willingness to exist in the undying lands of enchantment for all time.

Please Bring all your Trash to Dirt Goes Burr. We will inspect it and put it on our plane. If plane is not in camp, you must take your trash back till the plane lands again.

Trash

Come see the Garden of New Life! A place where discarded electronics, media, and other recycling have been reborn into a luscious, zany, upcycled wonderland! Witness the centerpiece Tree of New Life filled the fruit of days long gone (come see it at night for the illumination!) So come boing all of the Boingers, reminisce about old technology, and maybe even learn how to melt and mold discarded plastic into new treasures!

A passion for Repurposing and upcycling!

Since the time of the Mesopotamian Empire, bands of Merry Pranksters roamed the countryside. They wore garments made from American flags, shouted out patriotic catchphrases to passers-by, and, uh, well, actually, that’s pretty much all that they did. But in the Middle Ages in Gothic lands, they were credited with the invention of whooping noises. So, “MERICA! FUCK YEA!” became, “MERICA! FUCK YEA! – WOOO!”
The actual creation of America complicated their parody, but they adapted by hanging out with the Grateful Dead.
We proudly continue that comic tradition by wearing flags and yelling.

Yelling

Scheduled body art, shabari rope bondage, sex Ed and massages. Stop by and sign up! Or pop by during the day to see if there are openings. Our camp will be during the day. Early morning till late afternoon.

Towel and oil. We will be using coconut.

Come to The Parent Hood to pick up your Jr. Burner Book for your Jr. Burner. Complete activities and earn a Jr. Burner Badge from The Parent Hood.

Scheduling events moment by moment may lead us to miss out on opportunities of immediacy. Tune in to the ebb and flow of the burn, seek out new mysteries around each corner, greet and welcome the stranger, open the doors to the mind and experience things once undreamed. These unplanned times may make the best memories.

An open mind, a kind word, a sense of adventure

Welcome to a “choose your own adventure” spiritual space where you can make your own magic. Stop by to work on manifesting things you need to bring into your lives and banishing things you need to remove, and receive an omen on the work.

Ideas of things they want manifest or banish

Mobility a-Go-Go is a camp that you’ll pass on the way in, but keep it in mind if you have mobility concerns or need help due to an injury during Constellation. We’ll have a number of power wheelchairs, scooters, regular wheelchairs, bikes, stand-up scooters, walkers, crutches and even a big wagon in case you have to bring out the dead! You need to take personal responsibility to use these safely, and be sure to return them when you’re done.

We’ll also have a mobile stripper pole that may be moving around depending on the road conditions. Use it with care after checking with the camp!

Marked as adult only, but adults can use these if they stay with the kids. They’re for mobility more than for joyrides!

Please stop by 4 Fingers to use our public bidet. Please bring your own water!

WATER

Bring your plastic bottles to us and we will grind them to glitter on the spot! Feel Free to jump in our glitter pool! 100% Recycled!

SCRAPS is a public art gallery and obligatory participation installation. 8x8x8 cube: four walls for you to decorate and accessorize with your art and crap. Tools and hardware provided, but it’s up to you to bring objects of transformation to the installation. An old t-shirt? A thrift store painting? A 2×4 cut off? A cool stick? Anything that burns, ideally of natural material, attach it to our walls. You can paint them too, but you’ll need to bring your own brushes and paint. Larger objects can be thrown in the center to enhance the intensity of the burn! All are welcome at the sCRAPs pile!

Stuff, things, scraps, crap, creative insight.

“Paint me like one of your French girls”. I will take photos of sphere/department leads and volunteers during breakfast hours at the volunteer food kitchen starting Friday and going through to Sunday. Keep notice of the FB group for the link to sign up/model release

Clothes and your awesome selves!

The cows are up in arms
They’ve left their fields and farms
They’re marching on Constellation
Because the cows all need to dance!

Cow Appreciation is a thing
Cows are very appreciative…
Especially of a good dance party with a great beat!
The Stampede may show up spontaneously (with 10 cow costumes you can borrow, then return for the next rodeo)
If you have your own bovine apparel, you might want to keep it handy to add to the herd mentality!

PSA – if you’re lactose intolerant, beware!

Free the udder!

Cow attire if you have it (especially if you’re a calf below the one size fits all category).

No nonconsensual milking on the dance floor!

After many burns, Tall Santa will be teleporting to Constellation at the new site. he timing of his visit will depend on whim and weather, and he may visit different dimensions at different times. You’ll know he’s near when you see his traditional red and white garb and hear the familiar melodies from his Christmas kazoo! This Santa is non judgmental, so don’t fret over the naughty or nice BS. Tales of Christmas debauchery are always welcome. Feel free to choose a gift you like from Santa’s Sleigh (but don’t leave it behind!)
Elves, reindeer, and Santa groupies are welcome to join the fun!

A smile and a sense of Christmas wonder (I wonder why he’s here when it isn’t Christmas?!?)

Confused by the new tax code? Not sure where to write off your art grant? Can you take all the money you give to gate and use it in your 401k? Well then Taxes By Del is here for your needs! We are a NSARQ complainant both FISMA and OSHA! Bring your investments! Low rates apply!

Did we mention we have tea? Hot tea, cold tea … all the tea. And you are welcome to come have a cup and maybe a cookie, too. Pretty much 24/7. Come talk with the Mad Hatter, perhaps hang out with Absalom on our mushroom stools, or maybe follow the White Rabbit. For indeed, mysteries abound. Even tea can be profound. And rabbit holes are all around.
