Starlight Thursdays Episode 253 Featuring kaPOWski. My set was recorded live @ Burning Man 2024 on the Coat Check mutant vehicle. Rolling out from the Center Camp area shortly after dark Tuesday night, I had my small controller and a laptop perched precariously on a rickety folding table two stories up. The vehicle was full of friends, with more following on bicycles (and even a golf cart!) weaving behind us like a school of neon fish. We laughed at the inanity of it all and stopped at some cool art pieces to let people mingle and dance in the desert for a moment before loading up again and cruising on. It was definitely a peak experience for me. I really just wanted to have fun with it, playing some techy and bassy house with lots of super fun stutter vocals and acid notes. I'm positive that many of these songs will remind me of this night for the rest of my life! For more kaPOWski check out https://on.soundcloud.com/vcZ81A8uKbAjy5X48

I've learned over the years not to make too many plans at BM, so I only had one person I knew I was going to try and have on the podcast, the legendary Playa Pete. I knew where he was camping so I just had to catch him when he was home. He was making breakfast the second time I went over. He's a brilliant storyteller so I knew I'd just have to press record and off he'd go, and he didn't disappoint. He spoke about how he first heard about BM, his first trip out there and nearly leaving the next morning, starting the first Airport, what he learned about dealing with rude hecklers, a spontaneous art performance that nearly had him calling an ambulance, Larry's T-Shirt and bringing his Mom to BM. The other 3 people I bumped into were pure BM, “what are the chances” One was Stewart Harvey, who is Larry Harvey's brother. Larry Harvey for those who don't know, started BM, Stewart had amazing stories about Larry and the beginnings of Center Camp, The Man, Coffee, Costumes, laundering money and so much more.After I'd talked to Stewart, I thought, you know it would be good to talk to some artists and I had two in particular in mind, Michael Garlington @michaelgarlington1 who brought Chapel Of Babel this year and Christopher Schardt @christopher.schardt who brought Mariposa.But then the rain came and all plans of getting anyone else on the podcast went out the window. But when I went for a walk in the mud, on the Sunday, the day I should have been flying back to Ireland, but couldn't because no-one was allowed to leave until the mud dried up, I bumped into Victoria Rose Enanoff, who had previously been in our camp, while she was helping to take down her new camp, Pink Heart. While we were chatting about Pink Heart, she spotted Christopher Schardt, introduced us and he talked to me, there and then. Christopher talked about his previous Art pieces including everyone's favourite, Parluna and his current masterpiece, Mariposa.The next day, Monday, the rain stopped and it finally dried up, so I went for a spin on my bike and headed over to Chapel of Babel for one last look before they burned it later that night and I spotted Michael Garlington, busy getting it ready to burn. I asked him if I could talk to him sometime about his art and he said, let's do it now. He spoke about how he started his art journey at BM, his earlier large scale pieces, Photo Chapel, Totem of Confession and of course Chapel of Babel. After hearing Stewart and Pete talk about the exact same thing that happened 30 years ago, from completely different viewpoints, I thought rather than have each guest on, one after the other, I'd mix it up a little and go back and forward in the timeline.Thank you for listening and please subscribe (it's free) so you'll be first to get all the new episodes.To see all the images we've talked about during the pod, please have a look on 6 Photographs page hereMy Website is marknixon.comContact: studio@marknixon.com Follow me on Instagram @marknixonstudioOr for my Burning Man photos on Instagram @burningmarknixonFacebook @marknixonstudio
This episode of the podcast was recorded in front of a live audience on August 31, 2022 in Black Rock City at Center Camp at the Burning Man event. 5 storytellers shared their true personal story on the theme “Waking Dreams”. Today we hear from three of those storytellers. Jack Butler was raised in Kentucky, and found the outdoors and forests to be a great playground. He developed a love of reading at an early age and would lose himself in the adventures and stories. Jack spent 6 years in the military after high school and then another 25 years bouncing around the world as a merchant marine on ships. Jack's first burn was in 2016, and it began a process of opening his eyes to another world, a different life. Jack Butler is the author of two books, Into the Dust – The Virgin – A Burning Man Story and Racing to the Dawn. You can find jack at his website, jacklyonsauthor.com. Click here to listen to an excerpt from his book. In our next story, after a long overnight shift patrolling Black Rock City, Ranger Sasquatch is tasked with delivering an exciting message. In the days before cell service on the Playa, Ranger Sasquatch must find his intended recipient the old fashioned way – by interacting with his fellow citizens in a story that we call “Special Delivery”. Ranger Sasquatch has been a ranger since 2000 and has seen and experienced so many singular things, events and people in his life, which , he thinks, is the point of it all. Sasquatch is also one of the DJs at Radio Electra, 89.5 on your dusty FM dial. Rounding out this edition of the Tell Us Something podcast, Missoula resident Katie Condon shares her psychic journey of love with us in a story that we call “Discovery”. Katie Condon is a humanitarian at heart. She believes in the connection of all things. Katie is a lover of art and the simple beautiful things this life has to offer. 2022 was her first visit to Black Rock City.
Laugh and learn in a collage of conversation with 'Chef' - Matthew 'Chef' Kwatinetz, Senior Director of Nevada Operations and Board Member of Burning Man Project. He shares with Stuart about the ongoing work to convert our Nevada properties into year-round hubs for bringing Burning Man culture into the world. So much more than an infrastructure project, Chef's team is busy upgrading Gerlach's power and internet, helping locals and staff develop skills, opening up new employment opportunities, and visioning a maker space for Black Rock City creators.They examine the art of urban planning. They celebrate tradition. They explore what's possible beyond our ephemeral city. They imagine what it could look like when Black Rock City spills out of its physical and temporal borders into places beyond the dry lakebed, engaging year-round with art, convenings, and teachings, and living life more secure and expressed. Much has been researched and discussed with burners and locals, from social enterprise to economics, to solar power arrays named after mythical creatures.Burning Man Project Board of Directors: Matthew ‘Chef' KwatinetzNYU New York University Leadership Team: Matthew KwatinetzWelcome to Burner School: Gerlach Workforce Development Center (Burning Man Journal)The Chef and the Power of Community Prototyping (Burning Man Live #18)360VR: GerlachBlack Rock City Placement ProcessLAGI: Land Art Generator Initiative, Fly RanchHaunted West Gerlach (youtube)Göbekli Tepe (wikipedia)

You go from Pink Lightning camp to 7:00, then out to the Esplanade, and down to 10:00. At 10:00, turn left and go all the way out to the trash fence. You go along the trash fence passing 12:00, until you hit 2:00 on the trash fence. Hard right and run along 2:00 to Esplanade, take Esplanade to Center Camp, run up 6:00 or 6:30 back to Pink Lightning camp. That loop is seven miles. And if you're doing the Burning Man Ultra Marathon, you can expect to loop that loop four times and then some. Also, the inherent awfulness of the Dewey Decimal System.
On the first anniversary of Entheogen, to kick off Season 2, we decide to discuss the cultural phenomenon of Burning Man, where the show was conceived.
