FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Beaucoup Bucks Camp Plans to Burn Up More Money at BM04
The Beaucoup Bucks Camp is back for the most exciting social event of the year… Burning Man 2004. Not content to rest on their well-toned laurels, the BBC, in their second year at Burning Man (who knew 2003 was the camp’s first year? With that perfect blend of professionalism and debauchery you would have thought they’d been doing this all their young lives…) plan for a bigger and better burn, sure to be both fondly remembered and drunkenly forgotten by all who are allowed to attend.
This year the Beaucoup Bucks Camp will once again host three of the most exciting events at Black Rock City: the Chez Moi de Moné White Party, Black Rock City’s Next Top Stripper, and the Wad of Wishes Burn, where you get to live out your dream of burning money. (Just repeat to yourself, “It’s only paper! It’s only paper! It’s only paper!”) Additionally, the BBCampers will be spreading the love with daily events featuring food, fashion, and art: Quad's Eye for the Playa Guy, wherein fabulous fashionista Quad Princess, head designer of NYC’s hot couture house miss halo 5, will upgrade grateful attendees from Birkie-wearing trance hippies to happenin’ hotties; Ming’s Fire and Ice, a delectable treat presented by Ming (creator of last year’s successful Bing!) offered at the camp beginning 1 pm each day; Orbitale, a large scale sculpture designed by Mathias and Jan, that will have you seeing the planets on a nightly basis; and the beautiful and ethereal DIY art of The Flash of Temporary Shadows, (presented by the beautiful Amy Shapiro) every day at twilight, where participants create lush ephemeral shadow art. Also returning this year is the successful and strenuous Twirl Off Gym, where you can hone your twirling skillz in a fun social atmosphere.
Beaucoup Bucks Camp, a satirical band of trickster socialites and iconoclasts, holds no cows sacred. While making fun of the New York City dollar-driven night-life culture, they also gently poke fun at the Burning Man ideal of eschewing all currency by making their own money. Their act of burning money at the end of week symbolically releases participants from the hold money may have on them in their every day lives. You will probably have to bribe someone at the camp, but only BBC money will be accepted.
