For San Francisco Burners, there are a couple of sales coming up this weekend featuring Playa-ready outfits. If you’ve never been to a Burning Man trunk show before, I highly recommend it. There’s a bar, DJs, and you can support the Burner ecosystem while getting decked out in the latest fashions.
NIMBY in Oakland
8410 Amelia St
Saturday 10:00-17:00:
Are you still looking for that perfect Burning Man outfit? Well look no further and come visit the East Bay Burners at NIMBY on August 9th. We have faux fur, sparkly spandex, jewelry, funky shoes, glow in the dark T-shirts, unique crafts, swag, and the list goes on. Please come on by and pick something up and support your local burners as they continue to fundraise to bring their large scale art projects out to the playa.
We are also still accepting donations of costumes, crafts, treats for a bake sale, booze, volunteers to help out. Contact leorigill@gmail.com.

Not everyone is capable of creating outfits that they feel allow them to express themselves. I see nothing wrong without outsourcing this. Plus it provides income to other burners and allows for greater community cohesion.
What happened to creating your own unique image? This event is supposed to be about self expression.
This year I’ve decided to go turn-key camping so I don’t need to waste time shopping for cool Burning Man costumes. My camp does it all for us. I just have to show up and ROCK it. See you out there!
