Been getting lots of requests to join Fluffy Cloud at Burning Man this year, as campers or musical artists. But alas… we regret to inform you that after much consideration, this year Black Rock City will not have the 🌩️ as we are taking a MUCH needed year off. ⁣
⁣
Bringing this gift to the playa is a labor of love that is not supported by any millionaires or billionaires like, well, every other super-large scale sound project out there. Many of our core crew have barely been able to get away from camp for years with all the work it takes. We have no paid crew, all volunteers working insane hours to bring magic to the desert. Some of our core crew have averaged over 19 days in the desert each year and well… we are tired.  Picture the meme from Shawshank Redeption with the guy saying “I’m tired boss” - that’s us right now. ⁣
⁣
We are taking 2025 off to get to enjoy the Burn for ourselves. Do it a tiny bit more casual style, to give us a chance to fall back in love with and be re-inspired by the magic of the Burn without having insane workloads. Honestly, if we didn’t take this break there’s a real chance we may not want to do this anymore. It’s been that hard. ⁣
⁣
So it’s a self-care year off. We hope you all understand 🙏😂⁣
⁣
Not to mention that the new Kinesys-version 2.0 version of Fluffy needs some serious cash to become rated for playa-level winds again - thus a lot of fundraisers you’ll be seeing soon. ⁣
⁣
We are confident with your support though, we WILL make it back on playa in 2026 )’( ⁣if you’re interested in joining us next year though you can register your interest via our sign up form in our link above so we can email you when 2026 applications open!
⁣
Until then…. See you in the default world ❤️ and wish us luck 🤞⁣
⁣
