Decompression: A Little Bit of Burning Man off the Playa

September 19, 2009
01PICT122818 The Burning of the Man 2009 by Carnivillian from http://theblight.net/09/bm/Miss the playa? Missing the playa? Find out where a Burning Man 2009 Decompression Party will be and plan to be there! It works to take the edge off–guaranteed! Better than looking at scores of pictures–even if they’re at good as the ones by Carnivillain, including this one of the Man going off. More info follows.
As Jack Rabbit Speaks puts it:
**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**\<>/**!
We fully know how hard it is to re-integrate yourself into the real world. One of the best ways to combat the inevitable (and understandable) disorientation is to seek out a local Decompression event and soak up the goodness of your fellow Burners.  To find out about other Decoms and Regional Events in cities near you, see: http://regionals.burningman.com/ and http://regionals.burningman.com/regionalevents_09.html.
The Mother AND Father of all Decompressions is the one in San Francisco October 11. In 2000, I attended the SF Decom with my dear friend Nila northSun and yes indeedy, it was a fine fine party–I will never ever be the same! In fact, I should scan a few photos and post them here! Soon, I promise–you gotta see this leopard skin pill box hat I wore–with a matching mini skirt and boots!
So break out all that fun playa wear you didn’t get a chance to wear out there and wear it
The 10th Annual SF DECOMPRESSION Heat the Street FaIRE!  is October 11th on Indiana Street in San Francisco. Sign up NOW at: flambelounge@burningman.com to reserve a space for theme camps, art, art car, performance, fire troupe or other form of creative expression.  To volunteer, email firekitty@burningman.comLA Decompression 2009 Oct. 3 info
Or find the one near you as similar teams of volunteers around the world are planning their  Decompressions — along with various weekend gatherings and other official regional events. This is a year-round community with events being planned here, there and EVERYWHERE, literally every day of the week!
We’ll be at the LA Regional Burn in the cornfield near downtown LA (actually it’s a state historic park) from noon until midnight Saturday Oct. 3.
For another example, how about UnScruz! The Santa Cruz Burning Man Decompression! Located on Locust Street, Between Cedar and Center Streets on October 17, 2009. Noon to 10 pm. They say:
