Get a taste of the treats that our patrons receive. The almost-unedited conversation between DDay, Beth, and Iandustrial about Soak, but mostly what happened at the wet burn and how stupid Burning Man themes are. 

May 29, 2024

It's time for another Burn Barrel chat-a-thon episode!

Rex: confidenty doesn't know what he's talking about. DDay: confidently along for the ride. Beth: confidently making things simple and clear. All of us: making requests of Late Bus. Couple to Thruple. That Kevin Spacey Documentary. Crumb. 

Ask A3rd Anythings:
Why did y’all stop doing the cut-in edits? When you do Resto Ep? Performance art things last year? DDay rock the plumpers? When where not finding what wanted led to finding amazing? What is the worst ate or drank? What is best advice you got? What's "best" advice that was worst? If through some weird dimensional time vortex you found yourself in the first few black rock desert burns in the late '80s & early '90s and were part of the inner circle with Larry Harvey & the founders, knowing what you know now, what would you have the Org do differently to change the future of the burn and burn culture? What was best day? What worst? Worried about population collapse? Will A3rd refresh the Survival Guide, VAG, or Consent? What's your fav unders under there?? Most dangerous thingus? Longest gone misunderstanding?  If one were to recognize y'all randomly on Playa one year, what would be the best and kindest way to approach as to not make it weird?
