Come on out to our Burning Man virgins and newbies orientation event. Theme camps will talk about what they do, dusty old burners will tell stories about that one time when, you can ask your questions, bring your friends, and have a potluck with us.
This is an pecha-kucha format event where veteran burners get five minutes to wax poetic about their favorite playa tips and tricks, or just tell us all about that one time at that thing in the desert. You get twenty slides which advance automatically, and a live mike. We will invite all our North Bay n00bs to come out and meet the dusty crew and say hi, and maybe find a new camp or a project to work on. email your images to northbay (at) burningman (dot) com to participate!

Bengal Tyger from Laura Low & Lemurr hits on more than just low notes with the first three tunes all featuring some driving midrange bass and fusions from world music as much as Trap and other urban beats and then the tune Relay going even further with some uplifting tribal 4/4 beats that is contagious in it’s organic cheerfulness.
