It’s September, and you know what that means! A hearty welcome back to our dusty friends, a new Announce, and a launch of the 2025 Burning Flipside season! Check out the upcoming fun at Lloyd the Warehouse (and familiarize yourself with use of the space)!
FALL TOWN HALL (hosted by the Combustion Chamber)
Saturday, Sept 28, tailgating noon, presentations 2:34 pm
Come out to Lloyd the Warehouse to catch up on the latest news, catch up with friends, bubble with enthusiasm, and vote on the theme for Burning Flipside2025! Tailgating and set up start at noon. Come in costume, bring things to share! Remember, Lloyd is a leave-no-trace space. Pack out what you bring. There are no trashcans.
Before we can vote on a theme, we have to have some themes to vote on! SUBMIT YOUR THEME suggestions here – log in required. There’s probably some sort of deadline. Promote your themes AND entertain the masses with your fun, fancy, or familiar theme presentation at Town Hall!

ART NIGHTS AT LLOYD (AND AND ART SHOW)
FE101 – Building a Boosh Class with Tim Deagan
Wednesday, Sept 25, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Did you see the fire garden at Flipside? Do you have a burning need to make FIRE! Want a sweet boosh in your theme camp, or yard, or mutant vehicle? Come join an open-to-all free class that introduces and demonstrates the basic principles and construction techniques for a basic boosh (aka flame effect, poofer, flame cannon, etc.)
Car Cover Quilt Making Wednesday October 2, 8:00 pm to 10:00pm
Sometimes folks camp in their cars at a burn. That doesn’t mean we want the city to look like a parking lot! Come make quilts to cover up those cars at Flipside, for yourself or to gift! The idea is to make scrap quilt tops or panels that can easily attach to cars with magnets to decorate camps with more art!
Paint on Reused Canvas Wednesday, Sept 28, 8:00 pm to 10:00pm
We have a small stack of donated canvases and some paints and brushes but feel free to bring your own (to share or not)! Come on out and remake some art!
Fall 2024 Art Show: Museum of Civilization! Sunday, Nov. 3, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Bring your art! It’s a show and tell with your burner besties and we’d all love to see what you’ve been doing. Does your art have to match the theme? Absolutely not, just BRING IT! Register your art at https://forms.gle/fAMsFqMWw6QUsZRcA to build up the excitement (and let us know what to expect!) Do you have to bring something? Nope – art appreciation is also very important! Come play, and pARTicipate!
You can also RSVP and keep up to date on all the things on the Facebook Event.
Notes from the Combustion Chamber
The virtual August Combustion Chamber (CC) meeting was the most active and well-attended we’ve seen in a while! Thank you to everyone who participated and tried to join in! Apologies for the meeting size limitation – we will work on our tech before the next online meeting! The topic and delivery method both seemed to play into it. There was substantial community and operational support for moving Burning Flipside to an earlier date, and much discussion as to why (and some why not).
While the CC is not where final decisions get made, it is a crucial pipeline for the community to share thoughts. The board and operations teams are factoring your feedback into next steps. Stay tuned for more info!
Do you care about how the city gets made? Are you volunteer-curious? Join in on the next CC meeting, in person on Wednesday, September 18th (Church Night) at Lloyd to give thoughts and feedback on volunteering. Got a hot topic you’d like to bring to the community? Email cc@burningflipside.org and let us know.
