Texas Regional Burning Flipside Article

“This ain't no raver daycare, music festival, or commercial vending space. You have to come prepared."

The Dad Camp "stake(s) out a small part of the site with astroturf and pink flamingos, don Hawaiian shirts, grill burgers, and tell dad jokes. When someone walks by, they scream “I love you, and I am so proud of you!”

At "Dad Camp, people would often start pouring out their life experiences to the ersatz fathers, trauma dumping about their own parents.

That spawned the Dad Baggage Station. We bring pencils and stationery so people can write down their Dad Baggage. Then we place it in a suitcase and load it into the effigy to be burnt at the end of the festival. We love making this wholesome place to relax and be loved.”
