About 40 minutes north of me, twice a year there is a 3.5 day event called Playa del Fuego - PDF for short. It's part of the network of events that have come into being in the shadow of the awesomeness that is burning man. About 1200 people attend, many call themselves "Burners", and there is much effort into supporting the 10 principles of burning man (oh, google it if you want to know what they are). And yeah, we build art, drink, & burn things.

Anyhooo, this past weekend was my 6th (?) time at PDF, and my first time in a theme camp. Along with a few other locals, I founded Balls Camp. I had 150 pendants made and they were quite popular gifts.

I made a bar, and it was quite popular for drinks.  Here's a 3AM carnage shot.

And I made a hanging ball sculpture art piece of sorts. Which was more awesome in real life than in this photo. People loved to play with the balls - see their reflections, swing them around. It was very cool.

And a few more photos, since I'm very proud and satisfied (and still recovering) on how my first theme camp turned out.

I have somehow never made it to PDF. I've been to the Playa twice, Flipside once (Austin) and even helped one of the rangers prep for PDF, but still never made it to the event. This is crazy because I live in the area. Or rather, I lived in the area (I'm now a professional vagabond.)

Anyway - posting just to say that the dangly bits look great, and it makes me happy to see folks talking about 'our' regional burn. :)
Those pendants are really cool looking, and it sounds like you had a great event!
Balls to that!
