Love that series of videos from 1996. That spirit is what drew me to Burning Man in the first place. The weirdo misfit Re/Search SRI punk prank Oakland warehouse vibe. Like all the awesome shows/events I went to in the 80s and early 90s transported to the limitless venue of the desert. Goddamn Idiot Flesh, man, jesus how great.Simon of the Playa wrote:[media]

Re: Is Cacophony Back?
Been away from eplaya a bit. I like this thread because it makes me think of one thing do-ocracy. You want it to be more cacophany style?
THEN DO THAT!
Honestly are we all waiting for someone else to come and do it?

Re: Is Cacophony Back?
Hahaha Simon, I met a retired special forces officer at the event early 2000's who operated in Afghanistan. They would harass the Taliban way behind their lines by sneaking into their camps at night and cutting the ropes holding up their tents. He quit the military when command told them to shave their beards and stop being creative in their psyops. He totally vibed BM and had a plan to buy some cheap NV land and dig some underground survivalist village. He seemed to be a little crazy.

The Suicide Girls, alt modeling website, named from another Palahniuk novel, did a Suicide Girls Fight Club short video which is easily findable by search, but NSFW, obviously.

Re: Is Cacophony Back?
Original cacophony mindset of the event is pushed down, way below the surface. Everything appears normal.
Participants are unhappy with gentrification, loss of spirit and tedium of the event.
Participants feel they are living a compromised and passionless life.
Typical mid-life crisis at 29.
Craving the lost wildness, some participants tamper with the dosage of Soma.
Cacophony reemerges.
Is this the plot of Fight Club 2?
Yes.
Is this the plot of Burning Man?
Let's hope so!

Re: Is Cacophony Back?
I haven't heard of a news conference on playa... Many of you know The Yes Men. They attend conferences and set up press conferences to make announcements on behalf of large corporations, trade groups and lobbyists, announcing pro-human changes in policy, toward policies the organizations know are right, but can't quite bring themselves to say.
Of course it is a complete hoax. They have several full length documentaries and video clips you can find easily on the interwebs.
