I'm sure who's ever idea it was is still utterly brilliant... but the stilting trees idea still rocks for Burning man this year. I'm going to have a tree costume which incorporates stilts. Half of us already have costumes, the other half still has months...

Is anyone else interested in creating a forest a trees that walks around the playa?

    Kinda funny that mant of us made costumes and some of us stilts to do this last year and it just never happened! Obviously for a reason! This year is Greening Man! I'd say ours forest of trees will be much more happy in this invironment so to speak! I'm in!

    Hey Aspen-
    I didn't see this thread at first, but I'm glad I did now.

    I would love love LOVE to join in on this--

    a flash that I had while thinking about this: trees with fire in the branches... could adapt the "technology" that we used for the first night costumes (little propane tanks, copper tubing and stainless steel scrubbies for wicks).

    count me in!!

    do you have pictures of the costumes that are already out there? could you post them?

    love!!

    The Oregon country fair, and the Harmony Festival have a troop that has some giant tree costumes. (sequoias) Also, I have a couple of friends, who do a tree man with stilts at Renaissance fairs. They are now at the Arizona Renaissance fair. These costumes are semi-self standing. So they could be part of the Deco when no one is in them.
