Did you try to go see Rüfüs Du Sol or Kerala Dust at "Dusty Throwdown" at 8:15 & B on Tuesday night/Wednesday early am, only to discover that you couldn't find the show or the camp? Perhaps you came to the same area to see Alison Wonderland early Thursday am? You can blame me (Dr. Yes) for that. I could tell you I'm sorry, but do you really want me to lie to you? Watching thousands of burners fall for my prank was the absolute peak of my Burning Man experience this year! Why'd I do it? I'll explain at the end of the post. This is what the view from 8:15 & B normally looks like at night: Here's what it looked like somewhere near 1 am early Wed morning, when Rufus was scheduled to perform. For those who don't know what I'm referring to, I submitted a fake camp called Dusty Throwdown and a fake lineup for it to the Rockstar Librarian, who publishes a partial guide to who is playing where and when at Burning Man each year. Camps/art cars submit their lineups, and she puts together the guide, to be released around Tuesday before the gates open each year. 8:15 & B was my camp's (Friendgasm) address this year, and as we were having an event that night I thought it'd be fun to have some foot traffic on the the street, which is normally pretty sleepy at night. I was worried that the Librarian (she has a real name, obviously, but I'll use her pseudonym here) would catch me if I was too lazy about the prank, but I also knew that she's quite busy in the runup to BM, so vetting listings is not her priority. I made sure that none of the big draws - Kerala Dust, Rüfüs Du Sol, or Alison Wonderland - had conflicting tour dates, and really only included the Thursday lineup with Alison because I felt like it wasn't believable to have a camp Rüfüs would play at only have one night of music. It was already seriously straining credibility that an act the size of Rüfüs du Sol would be at a camp at 8:15 & B, and I thought that alone would give it away to many people, but hope springs eternal! When an early version of the Rockstar Librarian (RSL) leaked, and it not only had my fake lineup in it but also a star next to it indicating the Librarian called it out as a recommended event, I was pretty confident this was going to work. Seeing my campmates react to the listing confirmed that: I knew my campmates were largely big Rüfüs fans, but I had no idea at least a couple of them were very into Kerala Dust, and were especially excited because apparently Kerala Dust has never performed in the US before. Unfortunately, their love of Kerala Dust ended up revealing the joke to them when the group got word that they were 'scheduled' to perform at Burning Man, and posted on social that it was fake. And really, that was ok, because my campmates were always going to figure it out once we got to playa and they realized there's no Dusty Throwdown in the neighborhood. That plus the straining you have to do to believe that an act the size of Rüfüs would be playing at 8:15 & B would give it away to them. In the meantime though, I got to enjoy seeing comments like the below: All day Tuesday people were stopping at our camp to ask where Dusty Throwdown was, and campmates were reporting they were hearing talk of the supposed Rüfüs show all around the playa, but it really picked up once it got dark. Quite a few people were looking for Kerala Dust (who were supposed to play 9pm-11pm), and we knew the crowd would be much larger for Rüfüs. I had scheduled some random DJ I'm unfamiliar with called Persephone at 11 pm, during which we had a bit of a break and things emptied out temporarily, but by about 12:30 am the street was so packed that we killed our plan to blast Rüfüs' music at 'showtime,' for fear of starting a stampede. We probably didn't really need to worry given that we can all guess what substances many of them were on, and alcohol wasn't one of them, but we didn't want to risk it. Everyone in our camp, and in a couple of the neighboring camps I'd let in on the joke earlier that day, thoroughly enjoyed the people watching as well as interacting with the crowd pretending we were just excited to have Rüfüs playing in our neighborhood and wondering where they might be, although strangely almost nobody was interested in coming into our bar to enjoy a nice, fancy hand-crafted cocktail. It's almost like they were preoccupied with something else that wasn't happening and weren't in the moment.... The crowd eventually dissipated on its own, leaving a remarkable lack of moop behind, though some die-hards hung on until at least an hour and a half after Rüfüs' scheduled 'showtime,' really hoping beyond hope that maybe the Aussie trio was just on playa time or something (although again, there was no camp in our neighborhood that looked even remotely capable of hosting Rüfüs). We did get some people inquiring about Alison Wonderland two days later, but she's not nearly as popular with burners as Rüfüs, and no doubt word had gotten around about Dusty Throwdown being fake by then as well. Why I Did ItI could tell you I did it to "teach a lesson" to DJ chasers or something, but no, that's not why I did it. If you want to go listen to DJs every night at Burning Man, you do you. I could tell you I did it to demonstrate the value of immediacy, but that'd be pretentious bullshit. I did it because pranks, shenanigans, and fuckery that don't hurt anyone are some of my favorite parts about Burning Man, and I saw an opportunity to create a prank that a lot of people could be part of, if unknowingly in the moment. And lest you forget, Burning Man was founded out of the Cacophony Society. As a campmate phrased it, "You saw a chain, and you yanked it." That's true, but I yanked that particular chain because it was one connected to a lot of people and one I could pull on without anyone getting harmed. I wanted to create a prank that was harmless enough that the people who were the 'victims' of it could easily remember it fondly in the future and smile, even if a bit ruefully, at the memory. I've heard a couple upset people say their 'time was wasted' but I can only laugh at the absurdity of that complaint at Burning Man. Ultimately, if you fell for the prank and are still reading, I hope you're chuckling along with me. Most of us weren't there when Daft Punk didn't play, but you were there when Rüfüs didn't play! You were right there listening to them not play! Years from now, you'll be able to regale new burners with the tale of the epic night that you didn't see Rüfüs du Sol play and they will only be able to widen their eyes and gasp a little as you suddenly become 3x as sexually attractive to them. No matter how many times any of us see Rüfüs du Sol play in the future, we'll all always have that one magical night together that we were Rüfüs-less. No Rüfüs at all. Not a Rüfüs in sight, even when that RV slowly rolled past and everyone cheered thinking that might be them. It was glorious, and you were there. P.S. Ms. Librarian - I feel silly calling you that as I know your real name perfectly well, but I just wanted to apologize for using your publication for the prank. It was nothing personal at all, and I know you put a ton of work and time into it, which I and many burners appreciate.

Thanks a lot for giving me my first serious panic attack. You say that jokes that don’t hurt anyone are cool. Well your “joke” did hurt me. I was having a bad trip and rode all across playa to calm down to Rufus only to end up having a 5x worse trip. Way to go! I do see some positive for myself though since I became a part of BM history with this. Still not cool.

Sorry to hear that Sasha. I had some new burners who gave up on looking for the shows after that night because of the disappointment of traveling all over the playa to see shows that didn't happen. That, plus the heat, and they decided Hawaii would have been a better vacation. I think Dr Yes should become Dr. Ass Whooped. I also think that our rockstar librarian, who had her dedication, hard work and integrity compromised due to this prank, should retaliate. So revenge should be our next move.

This has to be the single most clueless comment about Burning Man I've ever read. I'm soooo sorry that your attempt to turn the playa into a music festival wasn't successful. It sounds like Vegas or Hawaii would indeed be better places for you and your crew. You could even file a complaint with the manager in a Vegas resort if a show didn't happen, Karen.

No, it was cool. I am sorry you had a bad trip but you have only yourself to blame Did you think going to a mega popular DJ surrounded by enormous crowds dancing and partying would calm you down? Did you think it would be a relaxing intimate environment rather than the sensory overload the playa is known to be? Did you think the performance would be a mild chill session?Chasing DJs while having a bad trip is more indicative of your poor decision making than it is of Dr Yes.

Not a big deal and I'm glad you had fun with it-- just want to say I did not have a good time with it at all. I was very sure it was fake (because of the various clues you mention in your post) but multiple camp members are huge Rufus fans and essentially cajoled our camp to go under the auspices of "well it can't hurt to check it out." Our camp was actually all together and planning to go somewhere else but instead we trekked across the playa (we camp deep on the 2:00 side) only to get split up / lost in the zoo over there. So instead of a fun night all together with the camp, many of us ended up solo and trying to find others. Just kind of ended up a bummer of a night. Anyway, just wanted to share another perspective. No sour grapes, etc. All good.

It would have been a fukery even if Rufus did show up at that location, you would probably have lost your friends. Don't blame the prank on a "bummer night", don't blame your campmates who were fans, don't blame not being around specific people, you could have had the night of your life without your camp mates - but you didn't.

This is amazing. My favorite thing about burning man IS the pranks. Actually, we need more pranks. My first burn, a man came up to me at 10am during the kazbah party and yelled in my face "YOU NEED TO KEEP IT DOWN!!!!!! SOME OF US HAVE TO WORK AT THE OFFICE THIS MORNING" and then picked me up over his shoulder, ran into the playa and dropped me there then ran off. That memory sticks with me forever. I was high and actually thought he was going to work his 9-5 office job until I realized I am in a desert (on Mars in my brain) and then laughed as I walked back to the party. Keep em coming

Hi - Well, I'm sorry you had such a bad experience! Fuckery at the burn is a core part of the burn, and while I don't mean to diminish what you went through at all (as a White person I can't truly understand the challenges of being a POC in a White-dominant culture), if you continue coming to Burning Man - and I hope you do - it's likely not the last time you'll be pranked. It's just a core part of the culture, and if it makes you feel any better, almost everyone was right there on the outside of it with you. The only people that were on the inside were my campmates and a couple camps across from us that I told, and anyone else who figured it out (although a lot of people who say they figured it out still showed up for the supposed showtime....)

Absolutely agree. I love a good prank but time at BM is limited and precious, and there are more things to experience and appreciate in one burn than one could possibly hope to get to. This motherfucker stole all of our time just so he could have a laugh—and this was not his to take. And that doesn’t even begin to mention the ways this collective time could have been reallocated to appreciating the other artists and contributors to the festival. I might not ever be able to go back. Fuck you dude.

We were camped at 8-8:15 and B and many in our camp fell for it. I was dying of laughter because I fell for the daft punk prank during my first burn in 2009, and this just took me back to the spirit of burning man. We had hundreds of bikes in our camp, everyone kept asking us where RFD was playing. Some thought our small, 20 person camp, was where it was going down. Like… where? So, We connected our phone to an speaker and started blasting RFD and started our own party, and we’re shocked how many people were super pissed about this. Fuck your burn!! Will say that we had multiple people pee on one of our trailers at the corner of the camp, which was really annoying considering the bathrooms were at 8 and C…. Get it together people.

Only just came across this post now and gonna throw my fashionably-late take in here because, hey, it's the internet, comment is free, so why not? I would just start off by saying that I've actually appreciated some of your other posts — e.g. some of the interviews you've done, bringing valuable clarity to controversies like the violent overreaction to Barbie Death Camp, etc — so I'm really not coming into this as a hater at all. But man... you really missed the mark with this one. There is a gleeful, almost unbelievably self-congratulatory tone to this post which is, frankly, both baffling and a fair bit cringeworthy. There is such a remarkable lack of self-awareness here. Reading it, someone would think you'd pulled off this amazing, epic, creative prank that was really one for the ages. When in reality you did just about the lamest type of prank possible. The playa equivalent of putting an ad in the local newspaper saying that if you come to my house, I'll give you $5. And then people arrive in droves and I simply don't answer the door; I just snigger hiding behind the curtains in my living room. Not exactly the work of a master trickster, it must be said.

There will always be pranks at Burning Man. Just do you best not to get Daft Punk’d or Rufus’d!
