BRC


Black Rock City Has A Yearbook? AWESOME!!!

Like the playa dust that’s on everything we bring back from our fair city, memories coat our minds marking us as exceptional, different from the way we were before.  This web resource is a documentation of our style, a snapshot of the way we were, this one time, at Burning Man … BRC Yearbook 011

We have located and are happy to share with you yet another fashionista web resource in the same vein as the PhotoBOOF! and A Tribe of Artists.  In fact, this one could almost be considered a hybrid of the two as it captures thousands of participants with studio quality photos but then goes beyond any predecessor by organizing them alphabetically by playa name.

We found out about the yearbook when we noticed their ad on FaceBook, which initially caused us to suspect that someone was trying to cash in commercially on our community *gasp*.  When we got to the site though, we were delighted by the gift that was waiting there and it brought big smiles to our faces.

Pictured at left is an example of the quality and conscious craftsmanship that goes into each portrait, page, and presentation of our most cherished memories. The elegant simplicity of their website is especially worthy of mention. It features several straightforward options for savoring this gift including a flash presentation, PDF download of the entire yearbook, and download of individual portraits.

The yearbook crew/camp is well endowed with staff (see pic below).  It’s a relief to know that this tremendous endeavor is not the toil of any one individual.

Comparing the 2010 BRC yearbook to previous ones (they go back to 2007!), we can see that many improvements have been made, most notably the incorporation of theme camps into a section of group portraits.  It’s easy to get you or your camp into the yearbook, just email: info@blackrockyearbook.com with a predetermined time & place when your camp will be ready and they’ll take care of the rest 8-)
We’re looking forward to getting our well-dressed staff into the 2011 yearbook and hopefully helping them throw a big party at some point.  We hope to see you, your outfit(s), and your theme-camp in there too!

2010 Burning Man Double Rainbow

We’ve finally made it back from another EXTREME year on the Playa.  As most of you know the weather was everywhere from wet & cold as fcuk to hot like blazes.

We got some good footage for you though and will be rolling out the catwalk on our virtual fashion show project (we had burners in their awesome outfits walking the runway wherever we found them.)  Til then, hope you enjoy our little vid of the double rainbow that followed Monday’s rainstorm.  It’s one of many that are being uploaded as we speak but unlike the others this one is sarcasm free ;}

Reno’s Burner HQ: Melting Pot World Emporium Pt 1

As we get closer to the big week in the desert, it’s important to take stock of what resources we have at our disposal on our way out to the Playa. As the Jack Rabbit Speaks (JRS) mentioned yesterday: The Melting Pot World Emporium is one of the best resources available to burners passing through Reno.   As the video shows, their fashions are fantastic and they also stock most all the fun stuff you can buy & bring to BRC.

Today’s video is a brief prelude to a series of video blogs about this fascinating burner owned business that will be posted here over the next couple weeks. If you visit them, don’t forget to mention “DustyCouture.Com” for 10% off your purchase.

Check back soon for videos showing the rest of the 3rd Annual Reno Midtown Burner Fashion Show.
