Burning Man type-thing in Boston? Yes, please!
Yoinked from...some LJ community I can't remember which:
"June 2-3: FIGMENT Boston!
Can you believe only 10 days from now our second FIGMENT event of 2012 will transform Boston’s Rose Kennedy Greenway into a large-scale collaborative artwork? Official submissions are closed... but we still invite you to bring your projects to FIGMENT! Please note that any project that is not registered must be hand-carried, and will not be mapped, scheduled, or have access to power. But we invite everyone to bring their art projects, social experiments, games, toys, dancing feet, picnic lunches, friends, robots, creative energy, gnomes, unicorns, and anything else you might love and want to share with the world! So, what are you bringing? For more information on bringing your project to FIGMENT Boston, please see the Artist FAQ and What to Bring pages.
What: FIGMENT Boston 2012
When: Saturday, June 2, 11AM - 11PM / Sunday, June 3, 11AM - 6PM
Where: the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston
Tickets: FREE!
For those who don't know, FIGMENT is kind of like a more family friendly, less sex, drugs, and fire version of Burning Man. It's a lot of fun!"
I'm all for Burning Man in Boston. I've been drooling over Firefly (another burn in...New Hampshire?) for awhile now, but I don't remember how to camp so would want somebody who does to go with me and I've yet to find someone to go with me. Burning Man itself is very far away and in a desert, notsomuch a fan of these things. This thing however would not require camping skills or travel. Woo! Also, I'm always a fan of free things, generally to the point that I'll go to them just cuz they're free even if I'm not particularly interested in the event itself. Yep, I'm an event hoarder. ;-)
First of all, anyone want to go with me? Second of all, any ideas for something artsy I could do? I don't know how to make a robot or where I would get a unicorn or gnome. Otherwise though, my skills and interests are eclectic enough that I'm open to hearing out pretty much any idea that could be prepped very quickly (like in a day, because that's basically all I have between going away this weekend and moving into another bedroom next week).
