If you don’t want Burning Man to seem like a cult, maybe don’t fund art that deifies the 6 founders of BRC LLC in the spire of a chapel like they’re saints. Spoiler alert: they’re not.

Unbeknownst to us (until now) our friend Taylor Wulf ended up grabbing the very LAST issue ever of our Last Issue Ever out of our red newspaper box, and left us this wonderful note that’s now proudly on display on the wall of our RV.

Best camp evah! Burgins outnumbered veterans 5 to 4 in our camp, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! Here we are, chillin’ on a muddy Saturday night, the only time all of us hung out at camp together!
