So I recently had a chance to DJ on the strangest city on the planet. Located on a prehistoric lakebed in the middle of the Nevada desert, this city houses 60 thousand residents and exists for only one week a year. What takes place during that week is virtually beyond words.
Imagine a city, 100% dedicated to artistic creativity, total libertarianism, and social deconstruction. Basically a Las Vegas… without money or greed… combined with the Tupac California love music video… taking place inside the imagination of Hunter s Thompson.
Where did I Dj you might be wondering? Well, it was pretty standard really, basically 70 ft motor home, with the walls ripped off, and upper and lower re-enforced dance floors installed, wall to wall LED lighting, and a 80 thousand watt stereo system built in. basically the best club you’ve ever been to… on wheels. Oh, and did I mention there’s well over a hundred of these, of designs ranging from jiant sperms to pirate ships, some as long as 250 ft and sporting 3 levels? Oh and about half spit enormous gouts of flame into the air every couple minutes.
Other than these insane cars cruising everywhere day and night there’s several 5000+ capacity stages, several dozen sub stages, and monolithic pieces of wooden art sprouting up across the playa, most of which get burned to the ground at some point, which is definitely entertaining.
If art and music isn’t your thing there’s still a city replete with every, and I mean EVERY, whacked out forM of entertainment you could think of. From Yoga, to tightrope walking, to anal fisting workshops, to bible studies, its got it all… for one week… then its burned to the ground… and the 51 week countdown begins.
