Camp idea brainstorm for camp:
Large artificial flowers placed all over the playa. Pick up your bee costume at honeycomb camp. The bee that visits the largest number of flowers "wins".

Is the prize a trip to the top of hte lighthouse?

Lighthouse? Could be... ?

[Ugly Dougly]

I got yer Lighthouse right here, sister.

Or dress as Dickensian carolers, singing old timey Christmas carols.

I cant stop laughing at the chick with the homer tattoo... If she ever gives birth homer will be hacking up something very disturbing... but it might be interesting to record it and play it in reverse om..nom...nom...!

I expected something a little more...muchier....I feel like fertility has lost its muchness and it could've been something better. but oh well ill go with btw I think the picture roberto posted should be the picture on the tickets

[Silver Cowboy]

I try to keep myself open to things I cannot change, but this theme is just odd. Too complicated, too esoteric, too intellectual. It seems as though they are really reaching on this one, but I can appreciate the effort that must have been put into it. I like the more uncomplicated themes, I.e. The Body, or the year of the planets. Simple and concrete. Easy to get behind and express and celebrate. But, that said, I appreciate all efforts the staff make in order for us to celebrate! I will do so despite the odd theme. See you all at home!!

[CornMan]

I sure remember seeing many fertility symbols in past Burning Mans.

Uh-oh. Larry's cribbing from Dougly. That makes things....

[Sugahoneyicetea]

exactly. fertility is an old idea
I think there are much more exciting and idea inspiring themes instead of this one.
im sure it's "official" but is there no chance of it changing before the event?

[trilobyte]

Yes it's official and no, there isn't. But as with any year's theme, you're free to ignore it and create and bring out whatever awesome masterpiece you like. Each year there's some great theme art, but some equally awesome stuff that has nothing to do with it at all.

[theCryptofishist]

I'm sure that Simon will be coming out with his alternative theme soon. Plus, Potatoes! is a wonderful theme. When in doubt, go with polka. Polka goes with any theme.

List of fertility deities from Wikipedia.

There are about 170 of them here, from various cultures/religions, with lots of different co-associations (pregnancy, agriculture, and sex are the obvious ones; but also war, drunkenness, dance, death, disease, medicine, crafts, fire, snakes, rainbows, flowers, beauty, and virginity). If you're interested in exploring the mythical/mystical aspects of fertility, there are many interesting and unexpected options to choose from. This could be an interesting starting point.
