The Effort To Drive Barbie Death Camp Out of Burning Man

9/11/2019

 
Edit: Sorry, turned off the comments as I don't have the time to monitor them and people are starting to attack each other.

You may or may not be aware already that venerable Burning Man camp Barbie Death Camp/Village and Wine Bistro ("BDC") was attacked this year by a group of people who were upset with BDC's art. It's gotten a lot of coverage in the mainstream media last week.  (To be clear, I didn't know any of them before this incident, and I'm not part of their camp.)

That Time We Played Oregon Trail On The Side Of The 747 And Other Burning Man 2019 Shenanigans

As regular readers of this blog know, I'm a big proponent for keeping the weird, quirky, and subversive in Burning Man. Last year, a group of us in my camp started Weirdout Wednesday as a day for people to let their freak flags fly and escape the bonds of Instagram coolness. Granted, it's hard to be truly weird at Burning Man, but think of it as a call to embrace your quirky side rather than DJ chase or pose for Instagram shots on big art or whatnot!

So, here's how some of us from our camp - Friendgasm - celebrated Weirdout Wednesday this year. My hope is that others feel inspired by these kinds of antics and are moved to shenanigans themselves!

Why, yes. Yes we are.
