Crashers Close Festival – Triops longicaudatus Descend on Black Rock City
This is a post about the invasion of “Dinosaur Shrimp from Planet Three” that cancelled a world famous festival, when a group of Triops longicaudatus descended on Black Rock City, where torrential rains had immobilized the city of something like 73,000 souls. After the rains came critters like Triops longicaudatus out of the dormant desert, awakened by the torrential rain, looking absolutely primeval, with bad intent on their minds.
I’ve never been to Burning Man The closest I’ve ever come to attending is having an online acquaintance attend and share some pictures something like 10 years ago. I read about it now every years as it comes around, which is better than I can say for the acquaintance. I’ve completely lost all track of the “world” he came from, he made custom specialty hand twisted jute and hemp rope for Shibari. Not a bad gig if you can get it, I would think. I’m not here to talk to you about bondage artists and rope, just to give you a heads up about the Dinosaur Shrimp.
Burning Man Rained Out – Dinosaur Shrimp Orgy Ensues
The deserts of North America can be surprising places, they can surprise a person in many ways. There are four deserts in the United States, two extend into Mexico. Each has their own surprises. To the eye of a Monster, deserts are wondrous things because those surprises never end. Just when you think you’ve studied it all, that you’ve seen it all, the desert will serve up another surprise.
The story, of course is that Burning Man got rained out. Everything shut down, shelter in place kind of stuff. And the story on IFL (I fucking love) Science is Three-Eyed “Dinosaur Shrimp” Are Waking Up At Burning Man. The subtitle reads, “The human festival is over, but for Triops and fairy shrimp, it’s just getting started”. Just getting started? It’s good to know the “party” will continue after all of the festival attendees have left.
