All early arrival builders of Black Rock City are invited. Party starts at 10pm. Monday The Admiral's Monday Night Mash-Ups Dance Party Admiral Painjoy will be spinning a wide mix of "mash-ups" spanning all decades and musical genres. Don't know what a mash-up is? It's a "vulcan mind-meld" of two or more songs into one. Ever heard Herb Albert and the Tijauana Brass combined with Jurrasic 5? The Beatles blended into Guns and Roses? The Safaris mixed with RunDMC? You will, on Monday night at 9pm - Midnight Tuesday Sparkle Pony Afternoon Jazz Party Wednesday Thursday The 11th Annual LBD (Little Black Dress Parade) The long standing Tradition continues again in 2012. Thursday afternoon at 6:00pm, Spanky's Wine Bar and the famous Burning Band will host LBD. Males and females alike will don their wildest, most elaborate, sexiest and/or skimpiest little black dresses and follow and sing with the greatest marching band on the playa, through the streets of Burningman to Center Camp and back. Those with marching band instruments (yes, kazoos count) are welcomed to "join the band" Huzzah!!!!! This is a long standing playa tradition, so be sure to include an LBD in your Burningman packing list this year. Friday Saturday Sunday Begin Village Breakdown and Clean-Up Everybody must participate! Monday Recurring Events Morning Train When you hear the song... GET UP AND GET OUT of your tent/rv and DANCE with us... then you may go back to bed M.P.R. (Morning Painjoy Radio) Each morning, after 10am, Admiral Painjoy will be hosting MPR. A radio variety show featuring music, games, phoney commercials, interviews, skits and guest performers. The show starts with light, eclectic music and, of course, goes downhill from there. Hello Camp Bored? Lonely? Want to meet new and interesting burners? Want to strip them of their given names and replace them with dirty names? (We know you do) Hello Camp will be making it's 12th appearance on the playa this year. There is no set time or day to give out name badges... just find Admiral Painjoy and ask him for a few sheets of name badges and a quick lesson on how to attack... errr... approach people, and you're on your way to having some superhappyfuncool times! |
