NIMBY @ Burning Man 2015
Burning Man is just a few weeks away! Are you excited yet? Or are you frantically searching for a ticket? Just to answer the question you’re thinking and emailing us about… NO, we do NOT have any tickets or resources for acquiring tickets. Sorry, you’re on your own, kids.
What we do have a whole lot of (with the saw dust, metal scraps, bruises and sleep deprived brains to prove it), is a bunch of industrious campers and artists, who have been hard at work for months making crazy things, sprucing up art cars, and building their little hearts out. You can find the fine folk who are NIMBY Makers all over the Playa. Use this handy list to mark your map of Black Rock City so you don’t miss a single mesmerizing piece of art. If you have early entry, stop by the camps. They’ll love for stopping by to lend a hand constructing and preparing for the week ahead.
