Description
It’s winter where we are. What are the coldest, most teeth-chattering, brrrr-iest of all the 100 sanctioned Burning Man events around the world?FrostBurn is one, and its participants make it happen in the dead of winter on purpose, annually since 2008. Subzero temperatures, rain, sleet, snow and sometimes sunshine. Why? Because they can.It kinda makes the media look silly for making a big deal out of a little rain at Black Rock City.When the costumes are nothing less than comfy snow pants, when everyone is on the buddy system to ensure they survive the weather, no energy is wasted on facades and FOMO. At FrostBurn people collaborate on Radical Self-reliance, Communal Effort, and all those cultural practices that got us where we are today. Bexx is an event lead at FrostBurn, and still finds time to play music in the Black Rock Philharmonic Orchestra and write academic papers about Black Rock City. She tells tales to kbot and Stuart of a winter wonderland happily crafted by hearty Burners.

They recount launching a burning piano from a trebuchet at the world’s largest Leave No Trace event, and they share about DA’s 85-mile Black Rock MOOPATHON that is starting this week. https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/moopathon by Burning Man LIVE
