Welcome home, burners!  Welcome home to your other home where you live when you are not at home at Black Rock City, that is.  This podcast is all about Kentucky Fried Camp!  

We learn how a camp made up of burners from a far-off location managed to sustain itself over the years and made a great relationship with its neighborhood in Black Rock City at the 3 o’clock and B Plaza. At the same time, KFC continues to work on creating relationships in Kentucky- from marching bands to city arts projects.

Catacomb of Veils is an art build going to the playa, 2016.  In fact, they are on the playa now and getting ready to build it.    It’s August 8th, 2016 and it’s build season.   Soon, burners attending da Vinci’s Workshop will get an opportunity to see it.   Get a rich understanding of the art and the development of this large art build by listening to Dan Sullivan, Lead Architect and Visionary, share about his spectacular-sized playa installation.  Hopper and Crowe, Construction Leads, share their inviting ways that worked so well to attract volunteers. Hear from volunteers too!  Downloadable and streamable.  Enjoy!

From the Indigogo, a great description:

Catacomb rises like a rocky outcropping off the desert floor, and as the dust swirls up and around, it evokes Black Rock Point itself.  It is a ruin of a previous society– a remnant of our collective search for moments of quiet, introspection and reflection. It is a journey of discovery and a descent into a subterranean world.
