The Cacophony Society Makes The News

I know this needs to be blogged when one of the Burning Man Titans (that is to say the generation that came before me much like the Titans preceded the Olympians) Kevin Evans posts this on my Facebook wall. Nudge! Nudge! OK, Kevin. Got it!

Perhaps you're wondering: who are these freaks and why should you care?

Ooooh...tut...tut dear reader!

Members of the Cacophony Society's first group were also the primary organizers of the annual Burning Man festival after Cacophony co-founder John Law attended its previous incarnation as an as-yet-unnamed beach party at Baker Beach in 1988 and publicized the 1989 event in the Cacophony Society newsletter. Cacophonist Kevin Evans conceived of Zone Trip #4 in 1990 and organized it with John Law and Michael Mikel, publicizing it in the newsletter as "A Bad Day at Black Rock". Larry Harvey and Jerry James were subsequently invited to bring their effigy along, after they were prevented from burning it on the beach by law enforcement.

That's who these freaks are. If you call yourself a Burner™ than you should discover who really started Burning Man and not believe everything you read on the Internet. Cuz, you know. Christopher Columbus, he like discovered the Americas!

Fuck your day! (And you too, Ranger™. ;-)
