AfterBurn

|
AfterBurn is an annual regional event held in Florida, generally on the second weekend of November. Radical self-reliance and self-expression are the goals, and community is emphasized. AfterBurn has its roots in the annual Burning Man festival in Nevada. Art, Music, Fire and other forms of Creativity -- including performance art, large-scale temporary constructions and alternative engineering -- are welcome. There is no vending on site (not even ice) -- a Gift economy amongst participants is encouraged, and cash transactions are strictly forbidden... proceeds from the admission fee go directly towards covering event expenses. Come prepared to feed, hydrate, clothe and shelter yourself for the duration. AfterBurn is a leave no trace event. As at Burning Man, all citizens are encouraged to participate in some way rather than being spectators to others' participation. History AfterBurn had it's inaugural year in 2006 and was continued in 2007. In both years, the event was held in Lakeland, FL. AfterBurn is listed as a regular event by the Orlando Burning Man regional contact. Part of the AfterBurn experience is Theme Camps and Art installations. The central effigy for both years was the Burning Cube. Some details for each event are * First year: November 10th-12th, 2006. Additional effigy of "A Burning Desire" * Theme Camp: Church of Immaculate Consumption * Theme Camp: Short Attention Span Theatre * Second year: November 9th-11th, 2007. Additional effigies of "The Phunity Burn" and "The Dreaming Tree"
