We are pleased to announce our official Wisconsin Winter Decompression Party, Saturday 12/16, 9pm, at the BurningSNOW Center, 2578 N. Weil Street Milwaukee, WI 53212.
If you have never been to one of our decompression events, you should! This is how it works:
You enter a decommodified zone in the midst of a commodified society. There is no vending, advertising, or anything for sale. Instead there is gifting. Everyone is encouraged to bring a gift, which could be a poem or song, an exotic liqueur or food treat, a prototype for glowing electronic clothing; a massage chair, a dance, an experimental art-piece... you name it, right on up to a mini-Theme-Camp that creates an immersive and interactive environment. The gifts and ideas are freely shared so you bring one gift, but experience the cultural gifts of everybody. Like a cultural potluck where you can take all the fascinating ideas home with you ...)
Radical Self-Expression is encouraged and a Leave No Trace ethic is practiced: be prepared to pack out every object you brought in. Just like in the desert.
There will be live music and performances, demonstrations of fire arts, and a large collection of experimental and interactive artworks that have been to Burning Man. Our goal is full participation but we welcome and respect the newcomer who just wants to attend and find out what it's all about.
Our Tiny Friendly Stage is available for your self-expression; we also have a few little booth-like stands available if you want to try your hand at a mini-theme camp. Erotic cookie exchange? Ultraviolet Bindis drawn on the head? Ten-second headphone sample of Really Bad Music? I Dare You to Eat This Haggis camp? Debate with Buddha camp? Sex toy ring toss? I know we have some very creative minds out there... RSVP with your idea, whatever it is, and we will set you up with a booth as long as they last.
To reserve a ticket, (quantities limited) write to party@clevian.com with the word "exhaust" in the Subject line, and the full names of who is coming in the body of the message. Also give us a hint of what you might be bringing, so we can make room for it if necessary. When you arrive with your picture ID your ticket will be waiting at the Will-Call stand. Donation $10 or $5 with a gnarly costume. Certain performers, theme camps, and setup crew can get in free; write for details. Very limited crashout space available for out-of-town visitors, write for details.
Even if you've been here before and are already member, please RSVP again anyway so we can plan for who is coming.
This event is legal, decommodified, and adheres to the ten principles of Burning Man.
