BURNcast #8 - The Cloud 9 Art Car

The Cloud 9 is an art car that’s been floating around the playa since 2003.  In this episode we talk to it’s owner and operator, Loki , about the labor and love that goes in to creating this vehicle. 

If you’re playing the 3Playa Community Drinking Game at home, in this episode we change the rules slightly to make the game more sexy.  Listen carefully and drink!

As mentioned in this podcast,  the 2nd Costume Exchange and Fundraiser for the Cloud 9 will be taking place in Los Angeles on June 23rd,  2006.

BURNcast #7 - On The Trail With Chai Guy

In this podcast, we meet up with Chai Guy, the co-host of BURNcast as he takes the summer months leading up to Burning Man to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. The last time we interviewed him, he was leaving Xara Dulzura to begin his journey on the PCT, which spans 2650 miles from Mexico to Canada through three western states. In this interview, Chai compares and contrasts the trail to Burning Man and discovers many similarities between the two including their respective communities (drink!).
