BURNING MAN: FERTILITY 2.0: 2012

 

 

Another wonderful year at Burning Man has come and gone! The pack is stronger than ever with a total of six new wolves, Leith, Party Bear, Vanessa, Jenna, Leyla and Sphinx! What a wonderfully grounded and open year for these new pups and our old prowlers! The wolves were able to gift morning coffee each day at Sacred Spaces Village  with Burn After Reading Magazine (the creation of two wolves – Jessi Sprocket and Derg Crissman).

 

We also had a truly momentous happening when Papa Dubz Wolf proposed to Sprocket at our dear friends, Kostume Kult, during DJ EZ Almighty’s set (and an epic dust storm). Huzzah for wolf marriage! 

 

Now that BM 2012 is officially over it’s time to A. collect ALL THE PHOTOS! and B. start planning for next year! If you’d like to join the pack and help us make new, amazing art (kinetic vehicle? fire breathing totem poles? a giant moon dome?) then give us a howl! You can email PapaWolf at phasenine@gmail.com or message us here or on the FB!

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Shipped to BRC!

After pulling tons of all nighters, RxW has successfully finished all 22 wolf bikes, bike racks, dome skins, giant Egg sound installations, shade structures, bin packing and art making. We pulled together as the fantastic wolf pack we are and got everything on the PEX shipping container! Now all of our RxW goodies are headed to Playa where they will be set up at 8:23 & Esplanade for your enjoyment. The early arrival crew is getting ready for take off and will be heading out to BRC in a few days. It is finally time to debut RxW at Rites of Passage!

A short video of all the wolf bikes smushed into one enormous shape of steel.

PEX -> TRANSFORMUS

Unpacking from PEX, scrubbing down and repacking for Transformus. We leave in 3.5 hrs for North Carolina and the beautiful blue ridge mountains. We can’t wait to gift Mysteria our Wolf Dome Coffee Den! I’ve been compiling delicious middle eastern tunes to sweetly serenade sippers during sultry sunrises. ❤ So Psyched.

!!Cat Party!!

Last night was our first ever fundraiser for Raised By Wolves–Cat Party!! Yeah, that’s right, to raise money for wolves we threw a party with a cat theme. It was an absolute roaring success! Bookspace, a burner owned venue in Philadelphia, hosted the event in their gorgeous spot. Silks were hung for our very talent wolf, Lisa and the illustrious Julia to perform daring feats of strength and beauty. All wolves rocked the bar, the door and the dance floor all night. Our resident VJ wolf, Geatan, killed it with his epic projections. We raged it till 7am and then broke it all down and got some Zs before heading to the Grimy Goblin Grotto to work on various camp projects. Completely epic, inspiring and beautiful. We can’t wait for Transformus!

Camping Retreat & Prayer Flag Workshop Photos!

RxW Camping Retreat 2011 & Other Happenings!

Now that we’ve been back in the real world for a little bit, Dubz has been able to process all of our RxW Camping photos! Camping at the Farm was really wonderful! The space was practically dripping with spiritual energy and we were all able to really bond as a pack through play and work! The prayer flag workshop, hosted by Sprocket, was a terrific success. Each pack members creative energy and personality was synthesized into their magnificent prayer flags! Sprocket will be teaching another prayer flag workshop at Transformus!

On Wednesday a few of the wolves went up to New York City to the Kostume Kult Camp 2011 meeting at Madame X. The wolves introduced themselves to KK and shared our mission statement which was met with appreciative howls!!

Tonight Tigre will be hosting yet another mask making workshop at the Grimy Goblin Grotto! Expect more wolf headdresses in the near future!

Also RxW is heading to PEX Summerfest! You can read about us in the PEX Summerfest What? When? Where?! Come find our healing dome & howl with the wolfies! If you’ve got yourself a PEX map, we’re located in the top right hand corner! Owww Owww Owww!

Wooohooo! It’s really Burn season guys! And RxW loves it!!!

Dome Set Up #1

After we finished fabricating the dome we headed to our Raised By Wolves camping retreat in Rosendale, NY! We did some good camp bonding and then set up our dome! Well… in the middle of it we did stop to cool down at some local falls! The dome build was a total success even though it was done on Burner time.

RxW- Transformus (Update)

Our theme camp has been accepted! Be prepared for Raised by Wolves at both PEX Summerfest and Transformus. Come get to know us before the burn and maybe you can be one of the hunted on playa!

RxW at Transformus 2011

Raised By Wolves have submitted their request to be a theme camp at Transformus this year! In case you weren’t aware Transformus is the Southern regional bur located right outside Asheville, NC. I’ve been checking out some picture from last year and the art looks amazing! It’ll be really great to meet some dirty southern burners and to test run our dome! Hopefully they accept our application!
