PDA hasn't added a story.
Cue the kazoo fanfare and inflatable flamingos! This news is hotter than a salsa dance-off in the desert! Since the dawn of time (well, since 2017 at least), our quirky sculptures have been gallivanting across the country like hipsters chasing after the last avocado toast. And last year, they finally graced the playa with their presence, leaving a trail of [fake] glitter and existential crises in their wake.
But hold onto your coconut water, because there's more excitement to come in 2024! The Honoraria Committee, in their infinite wisdom (or perhaps after one too many dust storms), has given us the green light to unleash our magnum opus—a towering spectacle that'll have people saying, "Wow, that's... big." Presenting Kinetic #6-BDE, a masterpiece of... well, spinning wheels, captured in this riveting video: [Link to video]
Picture this: our behemoth of a creation, standing tall at over 25 feet! Adorned with two spinning wheels each boasting a diameter of 21 feet!
The full array will be placed at the bounds of BRC, nestled snugly by the trash fence, because apparently, one person's trash is another person's... art installation? Who needs subtlety when you've got ¡¡ Big Spinning Wheels !!?
But getting this monstrosity off the ground safely? Let's just say it's been a wild ride. We've had to pull out all the stops, from using materials so cutting-edge they're practically bleeding, to engineering feats that would make your high school physics teacher cry tears of joy. With fiberglass tougher than your grandma's meatloaf, aluminum beams straight out of a Schwarzenegger movie, and bearings smoother than a snake oil salesman's pitch, we're talking serious business! And of course, all this "innovation" comes at a price, a cool $20,000 to be exact. The Burning Man gods have smiled upon us with an $8,000 grant, but we need your help to summon the rest of this... thing
But fear not, dear supporters, for we've got some "exciting" perks lined up for you! Think lukewarm beer, impromptu interpretive dance-offs, and maybe, just maybe, a surprise appearance by the mythical playa unicorn (aka Daft Punk!) Oh, and don't forget to check your inbox for our email invites, because who needs snail mail when you've got electrons?
So, strap on your sequined boots and grab your artisanal popcorn, because together, we're about to turn the playa into the hottest mess in town! Let's sprinkle some sarcasm, skepticism, and a whole lot of ¡¡ Big Spinning Wheels !! onto Burning Man 2024!
