Volume 27, Issue #3 | October 13, 2022
Hi there! It’s been well over a month since most of us departed BRC. If you're still thinking about divorcing your parakeet, you have our blessings. While the last of the dust settles, we'll share some ways you can bring the Burn back home. (In a literal sense, just below.)
Do we have your life-sized unicorn head or your phone? Solid "maybe." There are hundreds of Lost & Found items waiting to be reunited with Black Rock Citizens. Pro-tip: next year, LABEL IT!
If you’re anything like us, you’re loving the late season bumper crop of sumptuous Black Rock City photos and videos in your feeds. Now you can meet the shutterbugs of Burning Man’s Documentation team who make much of that magic happen.
Answer the last call to support 2022 BRC artists. Data geeks and nerd-adjacents can get a sneak peek of preliminary Census results. And, hey! Procrastinators have been granted an extension to fill out your Census — the new deadline is October 20. Don’t let it pass you by!
For life beyond the playa, get the scoop on Burning Man gatherings around the globe, and learn about our community’s hurricane relief projects. And this is your last chance to sign up for Trailblaze at the 360 property in Gerlach, a weekend event for all of you makers and builders of art, mutant vehicles, and infrastructure for Black Rock City and beyond.
Community Projects for Hurricane Response
Hurricane Fiona and Hurricane Ian continue to affect millions through infrastructure damage, and loss of power, water, and other critical resources. Whether you need help or can offer support, see Burners Without Borders’ Fall 2022 Newsletter for a list of hurricane response resources and projects.

Did You Lose Something at Burning Man This Year?
Black Rock City's Lost and Found volunteers are oh-so-busy orchestrating happy reunions between participants and their MOOP. If you lost something tangible on playa (we won't be able to find your soul) start by reviewing the images at the link below. If you see your thing, file a claim with as many details as you can remember. And be patient.

Black Rock City in a Maelstrom
Roxane Jessi writes:
“Slowly but surely the blank playa canvas came to life, splashed with its characteristic outpouring of color, eccentricity, and creativity. The whirr of power tools was replaced by megaphones beckoning (and heckling) passers-by to newly opened bars; trucks and cranes made way for the fleet of out-of-this-world art cars crisscrossing the playa; and dusty work attire was banished to the bottom of suitcases for exuberant costumes.”

A Space to be Completely Ourselves: Producing NYC’s 2022 Decompression
Kirsten Weisenburger writes:
“Just one month after many of us returned from Black Rock City (and let’s face it, some of our synapses are still a little dusty), New York City Burners threw their Decompression party — no small feat. I sat down with Shiny Galeani, Dreamy’s Lead Producer, to hear about her vision for the event…”

The Gift of Things Going Wrong — Recorded in Black Rock City!
Black Rock City is a labor of love. When things go wrong — sometimes whimsically, sometimes devastatingly — we celebrate it as a chance to adapt. Hear resident philosopher Caveat Magister hold court in the chaos of BRC (with kbot, Motorbike Matt, Michael Vav and Brooke LaValley) on why spaces like BRC are practice grounds for new possibilities.
