Nevada is a dry place. The Black Rock Desert in Nevada in particular is
dry and dusty. Huge hot roving bands of people, trouncing on a
subsection of said parched earth, lighting things on fire, and churning
up landscape with vehicles/sculptures/feet/fuzzy bunny slippers/couches,
were drier and dustier still.
It was GREAT.
Things that go well with a desert:
mud. naked people. water trucked in on big trucks in multi-gallon drums,
and squirted on naked people via pitch-fork shaped hoses. spray water
bottles, waterguns, drinking water bottles, kiddie pools of water, dirty
ice water in coolers, trucks selling ice twice a day at $2 a bag. a cafe
in the center of camp selling mochaccinos. trampolines. ice smoothies
that you could barter for. drugs, any kind, hallucinogens in particular.
glow-in-the-dark things. body paint. mountain bikes. motorcycles.
couches outfitted with engines and steering wheels. anything outfitted
with engines and steering wheels. cars shaped like sharks and bearing 10
or more water-gun-bearing postal workers shouting militantly. McSatan
burgers. two-story climbable, musical structures built from several
dozen pianos. sand castles. plaster. metal. welding tools. human-sized
mousetraps. pedal-powered aircraft. parachutes. neon. accordians. circus
acts. pyrotechnics. musicians, in mobile vehicles or standing still.
drums, incense, chanting, belly dancing. alien landing signal
procedures. flammable materials.
a 3-story neon man, exploding, burning, and toppling.
