Burning Man is at the end of August every year. There, the phoenix will be celebrated in all her glory, surrounded by a network of friends and collaborators we’ve amassed over the years through Burner Podcast and Justified Hype. We will dance with her, rest in her shade as we reflect on our phoenix moments and feel her adoration as we look to releasing the old and diving into the unknown of a new year.
After Burning Man, she’ll rest for a stint before making an encore appearance at YOUtopia, San Diego’s regional burn. Her final home is yet to be determined. It may be at the center of a real estate development in San Diego or on the outer edges of a multi-acre artist colony in the high desert. In either case, our intention is for her journey to be the most deliciously documented in Burning Man history.
Come November 2022, Dylan and Arash will record their last episode of Burner Podcast Presents: Phoenix Syndrome and that will be that. No more phoenix stuff.
After a brief break, we will reconvene to work on Justified Hype’s first (hopefully annual) yearbook; a high quality art magazine featuring beautiful words and imagery capturing 2022's Year of the Phoenix.
