The Black Rock City Department of Tethered Aviation is a bunch of freaky folks from New York, Florida, Wisconsin, Oregon, North Carolina, Hong Kong and California who gather each year at Burningman. Our passion is everything kites!  That is to say--kite flying, kite performing, kite buggying, kite photography, the physics of tensegrity, kite construction and teaching people to fly.

We also build stuff, make art, drink water, deliver papers, fix bikes, eat cookies, flail about, heckle burners, twirl hula hoops and do yoga by day.  By night we fly kites, eat and drink really well, flail about, ride the playa, dance, twirl fire, drum, burn stuff, and engage in overall general debauchery and play.Sometimes we ride around on top of a beautiful big bus from Wisconsin, or cruise to the art installations in our Lunar Rover(Playa Probe??).

Often we just wander from camp to butt-hut to installation to butt-hut to camp, and back again. You'll find some of us selling bus tickets to Gerlach at the Bus Depot with our beloved OBOP neighbor, the Owl.  Others ride around and deliver the Black Rock Gazette throughout the city.  But most of the time you'll find our camp flying a kite or showing someone else how.
