New York City
We
are in New York City, and like the city we’re part of, we do tend
to think that we’re the center of everything. Despite what you may
have heard, however, New Yorkers tend to be very nice people. We are happy
to help anyone! Because space is tight in the New York area, we don’t
have our own regional burn at this point, so many New York Burners travel
to Playa Del Fuego (in Delaware), Firefly (in Vermont), Frostburn (in Pennsylvania),
Transformus (in North Carolina), and even Flipside (in Texas) to get their
playa fix throughout the year, and connect with other New York and East
Coast burners. We work closely with other nearby Regionals to create some
great events. In and around the city, there are always a plethora of outings,
collaborative art projects, talks, movies, fund raisers, celebrations,
art events, and parties going on. The best way to find out about as much
as possible is to subscribe to the announcement list (low volume, strictly
announcements) and the discussion list (very high volume, chatty, and a
bit intense). And also check www.brcnyc.com for the latest updates.
There are so many people in and around NYC that know of or have been to the desert that it seems the only time we get most of them in one place has been for our annual NYC Decompression (in October). On the playa, New Yorkers are everywhere! There are now literally dozens of camps and thousands of people from NYC! A few of the more established New York camps and villages are Asylum Village, Disorient, Kostume Kult, Smoochdoome, with great new camps popping up all the time!
