Burning From Boston
Hello, I’m Kathmandu and I’ve been part of the local Boston Burning Man community since 2018. I write about my adventures for folks who would like to learn more about Burning Man events, or other Burners who might be interested to read my rambling stories in print.
2018: This is my first Burn where I showed up to the desert with 2 bags and a prayer. Great place to start to learn more.
Burning From Boston2019: How my preparedness changed after my first experience. Check your checklists.

2nd Burn 2019: I went back for my second year knowing more of what to expect from the unexpected. Wasn’t disappointed.

Missing Home
COVID 2021: Burning Man was once again canceled. I got a bit more hopeful though.
Into the Great Unknown
No Time to Burn
3rd Burn 2022: 2 years after no Burns and some difficult losses I returned to the desert. I was on a mission.
It’s Not the the Burn I Wanted, but Maybe it’s the Burn I Needed
4th Burn 2023: I took a trip to the West Coast culminating in the dreaded Mud Burn. Bring some extra socks and trashbags.

Making the Best of the Burn That Mostly Didn’t

Other Resources:
I can usually be found at the Boston Burner Meet and Greet occurring each Tuesday at:
Remnant Brewing
2 Bow Market Way, Somerville, MA 02143
6pm - 10pm+
Hosted by the Boston Burning Man Community weekly gatherings are not specific to any camp or regional group, they are meant to be a place where Burners and Non-Burners can get together, discuss ideas, connect, and have a drink (be it coffee, tea, beer, or kombucha). Ask the bartender if you can’t find us.
I strongly recommend joining the mailing list to keep up to date on gatherings and events.
