Woo hoo! Regional burns FTW! And two I've been to (Playa del Fuego and Constellation) get mentioned by name with a delightful blurb to go with them.

This is a decent and informative (though obviously not complete) write-up of regional burns.

Burning Man Is Over, but Regional Burns Keep the Party Going Year-Round

If you’re not ready to say goodbye to Burning Man’s vibes—or if you’re looking for “Burning Man Light”—you can attend one of many regional burns around the world.

WIRED

Just reminded I haven't kayaked this year AT ALL. In my defense, here are the issues in chronological order:

- Still winter despite calendar
- Burn (Playa del Fuego) & prep & recovery
- Travel in PA
- Burn (SummerIsle) & prep & recovery
- Travel in PA
- Trip to Chile
- Got way sick
- Travel to Scranton & Strousburg
- Got COVID
>>you are here<<

Just got my second negative #COVID test, and the fatigue is much less. School starts in a week (I'm a prof) but I hope I can get some paddling in before it gets too cold.

Any #burningman folks here? But like local #burners? I'm headed to #PlayaDelFuego in rural #Pennsylvania in a few days. Woo hoo!

I was over 50 before I finally went to a burn. I am pretty sure these are my people.

Right now, my #favorite pic from Playa del Fuego (Burning Man affiliated burn). This guy is fun to photograph. Everything he does is photogenic when he's spinning fire.

I usually post photography, but years ago I made an #effigy for a regional #BurningMan event called #PlayaDelFuego. I stretched the usual pony theme to be a #seahorse, gathered #driftwood along the #PotomacRiver to make it, and the finished piece was 12’ tall (3.7m), 15’ (4.5m) on the wood pile. You can see friends and me (long hair, black outfit, open back) light the "pony."

This is clearer, but I'm opposite the camera:
