Burning Man 2014 Re-entry: Burner and Kid Friendly Event at Art City Gardens, Ventura

How’s your re-entry going post Burning Man?

Don’t be surprised if it’s a little rough–that’s normal!

While tonight’s event at Art City isn’t exactly like being at Burning Man or at a BMOrg sanctioned event (which is why I can’t call it a Decompression Party!), it is a chance to dance around a fire under the moonlight and disco ball–and roast some food too!

Trippers Hollow and Art City Ventura present Las Saucetronauts, cooking up globetronic saucedelic hippy-hop sounds TONIGHT Sept. 5, 2014 with food starting at 6pm and music at 8pm at the Art City Gardens, 197 Dubbers off Rex off Olive off Main near the Ventura Avenue Vons.

Bring food to cook on a stick, chairs, lights, spirits. You don’t need to put on your Burner blinky best, but expressions of imagination and creativity are always encouraged.

And while you don’t need to ride your bike across the playa through a dust storm to get there, close street parking is limited, so if you can, please carpool or ride.

This event is part of Ventura’s monthly First Fridays, so you might want to ride around and check out some of the other nearby sites like–
