One Huge Coyote Howls In The Desert

Many a time I had the chance to go out to Burning Man, while spending a decade back in northern California, but I never made the trek out to the playa. Not for a lack of interest in the festival but I just had too many other things cookin' at the time and also a bit burnt out on festivals after working numerous ones for quite a few years. 

Looking back though I have always had an interest in the events around the gathering. Not so much in the party vibe or seeking out a religious awakening, but more of an interest in all of the elements used to create the atmosphere known as Burning Man. 

It could be the yearly burn of the temple created for the one week event or checking out the incredible coyote inspired sculpture by Bryan Tedrick, but I always dig around checking out the sculptures. What I enjoy most is the scale on which some of these pieces are built. They are large and in charge and have to be that way in order to be seen across the wide expanse of the Nevada desert.

Maybe one of these years I will venture out for a few days and finally check out the cult of Burning Man.

Could The Gathering Of The Juggalos Be The Bastard Child Of Burning Man?

Could the Gathering Of The Juggalos be the bastard child of Burning Man? Well, from what we have seen in the photos and videos, it might be a fair assumption. Both speak on peace and love, but the creativity documented at the Gathering of the Juggalos is far less involved, than what is witnessed at Burning Man. This could be due to the overall vibe of each event where Burning Man is all about self expression through costumes, machinery and innovation out in the desert of Nevada. We have to give a fair shake to the the Juggalos though as its more of a music fest that prides itself on self expression. Have a look at some of the photos we found from the event on VillageVoice.com

Why not tune into some Hellbound Glory and wave a flag for all those bastard children world wide
