Photos | Afrika Burns 2008: The Three Burning Men

The First Burning Man was my boyfriend; a nocturnal web developer who hisses when he comes into contact with daylight. The Second Burning Man was a nude cyclist, making determined circuits of the shimmering campsite while tiny butt cheeks became progressively pinker.

Ten People You’re Likely To Meet At Afrika Burns

Drive 500kms into the desert. Pitch a tent. Look around. With the right kind of eyes, you’ll notice, like we did this weekend, that just because you’re a zillion miles from anything, doesn’t mean you’re getting away. Rodriguez says it best: “I’ve played every type of gig there is to play now, and all of these people I play to are the same people.” Overtone does some stereotype-spotting at Afrika Burns 2008.

Wearing: a pair of shorts and a five-o-clock shadow, even though it’s only 3.30pm. Sayings: “Come park off, chana” and “while you’re up, while you’re up…” The American Volunteer Girl Located: In someone else’s tent, talking. Wearing: AIDS ribbon, lip ring and ‘Trade Not Aid’ shirt over the outline of Africa. Sayings: “We just got back from Ghana. Boy, it’s not what you’d think!” and “is this organic bill-tong?” The Seeker Located: At the Chakra-balancing psy-chillout hydro-bong tent. Wearing: a sarong, ribbons and a pair of genuine Guccis. Sayings: “You see, we’re not all equal. Some of us are more awake and aware than others. Do you see? Are you with me?”

Statistics & Photos | Rocking The Daisies 08

This happened to a lot of people at Rocking the Daisies 2008, and it may have happened to you. You’re lying there, perhaps taking a recharging power-nap at 3am, when you hear a rustling at the door of the tent, followed by a careless zipping sound. Then, an unfamiliar voice grunts and you feel a ‘WHUMP!’ as some stranger collapses into your tent, and responds to your surprised ‘uh…excuse me?’ in one of two ways: blind terror or blind oblivion.
