2006 theme?

[Dork]

Come on guys.. SOMEONE here knows what the theme is going to be next year. Maybe not the full detail, but at least the general idea. Cough it up!

[lunachic15]

I actually think that the theme for 2006 is Intellect...so perhaps this will be right in line to form the first DORK camp!

Yeah!

hehehehe

I will say that it needs to be pretty special given the 20 year anniversary.

[Burningmanchick]

i hope they do have the theme intellect as next years theme that would be awesome so many things and ideas eeryone can do with that! i dunno what the theme they will be dork but if u find out pls let me know :D

[5x5]

i keep seeing people online say 2006 is the 20th anniversary - which it would be, of the time larry made a man and burned him. but on my calendar and history it lists 2005 as the 20th burn, since the "idea" started the year before at someone elses party.....

i'm just curious if the same people who put together the calendar will be working on the "20th anniversary" stuff next year....

[theCryptofishist]

Ah. Once David Letterman had a "We're too tired to put on a show" show. I hear it was pretty funny. Too bad larry doesn't crib from the old nbc dave.


It's a sorry thing when you want larry to crib from dave....

Is there a support thread for this?

[Chai Guy]

I have it on pretty good authority that next year's theme will be:

"Pirates of the Caribbean part II"

[theCryptofishist]

Oh good, we can have LeFoot for the Neworlans connection. Oh, And I'll have "Snotty We Read Tim Powers and Know that the Real Action is On Stranger Tides Camp." I do so luv being better than my fellow burners...

Actually it will be Canadians take Over! Street names? Alberta, Ontario, Northwest Territories. Hudsen Bay Blanket art cars will blanket the streets. Maple Syrup for All! And the Quebecois will devolve and start their own event--merging with BORG2 and the remnants of La Contessa's crew.

[NEXUS]

I heard it somewhere that these two were being chosen as the art curators for the event...

[Kinetic IV]

I'm kinda liking this Canadian theme idea but they can keep much of their beer North of the border. Some of it makes me think that moosepiss would taste like this.

[NEXUS]

I hate to say it, but the well consumed old guard here in the States (i.e. Bud, Miller, Coors, and shall I even mention, Schlitz, Schaffer, Old Milwaukee, Pabst, etc - that somehow still manages to find a market) is nothing to brag about either. Thank the beer gods for the introduction of superior microbrewery style beers in the past 10-15 years (Sam Adams, Pyramid, Pete's Wicked, Gordon Biersch, etc.) so I don't have to rely on expensive Euro imports.

[HughMungus]

I have it on pretty good authority that next year's theme will be:

"Pirates of the Caribbean part II"

I heard Moulin Rouge. Hm...maybe it's the same theme...

[Mr. Mellow]

Come on guys.. SOMEONE here knows what the theme is going to be next year. Maybe not the full detail, but at least the general idea. Cough it up!

The theme will be "The Burning Man Experience Project." Participants will be encouraged to relive the theme from those nostalgic years "back in the day" when Burning Man was so much better.

[Hoopes]

How about "Intelligent Evolution"?

[Ranger Genius]

I know what you can use as a working theme, because I'm pretty sure that the final one will be quite similar to it. In fact, this is always the REAL theme, irrespective of what we call it:

"Pseudointellectual Claptrap"

[AntiM]

I thought they had antibiotics for that.

[HughMungus]

How about "Intelligent Evolution"?

Did you mean "Intelligent Design". That would actually be a nice poke in someone's eye (and "Evolution" would be a great theme anyway).

[robotland]

Some time back, when I was guessing about '05's theme, I suggested "Anima Mundi"- It has the hoity-toity titular nomenclature that seems to be part of the theme tradition, but simply put, just means "Animals". I'm still mad about missing "The Floating World", AKA "Fish Year", and enough people always do animal-based stuff that I think it's a shoe-in. The ring streets would be Kingdom, Phylum, Order, etc.. (I forget how that stacks, sorry.) I know that Certain Clever Persons are already working on Certain Giant Insects for next year......

Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

and self-promoter too

[EvilDustBooger]

Hey.
How about a "Law and Disorder" theme?
Strip searches at the front gate.
The Man could be chained up in the pokey under heavy guard.
Once inside, everyone could be "the man".
We could be doing various sting operations and undercover work,
endless surveillance of various targets and other "agencies"
constantly trying to trap and bust everyone for everything....even the LEO`s couldn`t tell who was real or not. Have people on every corner
selling fake weed & acid, then arresting those that showed the slightest interest... informants would be all over.
Center camp could be like a prisoner martialing area with various
cells and holding areas...no one can bail themselves out because there is no commerce....mandatory time for all .
Streets could be named:

Assault (or Apprehension)
Burglary
Complaint
Detective
Evidence (or Entrapment)
Felony (or Fine)
Grand Jury
Homicide

Ideas

The Relentless Elements
Into The Unknown
Through The Eyes Of A Child
Innocence Lost
TINT (There Is No Theme)
Yahoos On The Loose
Show Me Your Tits
The Joy Of Shirtcocking

Thanks, Fishie! ()I guess they'll have to have bigger blocks to use those streetnames, or add "planet" and "individual" on each end to make nine....

[unjonharley]

So this will be "The Year of the Man"?

Kingdom, Superphylum, Phylum, Subphylum, ....species, subspecies, variety, individual. Or somthing like that--I'm not into claudastics. Of course we could crop off kingdom from teh front, because it's Animalia, not Flora or fungi or green algea. Or whatever...

[theCryptofishist]

So this will be "The Year of the Man"?

Is that better or worse than "Year of the Pre-Pubescent Girl"?

[lunachic15]

I heard, I heard....2006 Theme will be (drumroll please)......................................................................................................................................................................................................

WILD BILL'S COUNTRY HOE DOWN!

[lunachic15]

HATS.

[Lorgasm]

Since my first burn in 2002, I had a vision of a "Tribal Theme". D'know. Anyways, just for shits and giggles, how bout throwin in a 21st b.day party for those who turn 21 in the year 2006. Afterall, Burning Man turns 21 that year too. Not that I'M turning 21 that year (I wish).

Peace,
