10-25-07 | Burning Man Decompression
Every year after Burning Man, the NYC regional burners throw decompression parties to sort of ease back into city life. It can take a whole month for the mind and body to readjust to the real world after our experience's in the desert.
This year we performed at the Queens Museum decompression (sold out alongside 4000 other "burners") on the A Cavello stage. Big shout to Linus and the A Cavello crew for pushing their artistic envelope a little further each year, and for having us rock their stage again.
